Local Geelong Cats Superstar Zach Tuohy will be coming down to the Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre to sign copies of his book, The Irish Experiment.

Whether it’s committing to a tackle, being a dad or writing a memoir, if Zach Tuohy goes in, he goes ‘all in’ Like most Irishmen, Zach Tuohy’s first love was Gaelic football. But when an Australian football club came knocking with a professional contract, the then-teenager leapt at the opportunity to travel across the world and come to grips with an oval ball. Despite a rocky start navigating a Carlton Football Club in disarray and becoming a father at twenty-three, Zach went on to become one of the greatest success stories of the ‘Irish Experiment’.A move to the Geelong Cats made him a star rebounding defender and cult favourite player, and in 2022 he reached the pinnacle of his adopted code, winning a Premiership medal. In 2023, Zach set a new record for the number of AFL games played by an Irish player, passing the effort of the great Jim Stynes.
With characteristic devil-may care attitude and determination, Zach writes candidly about his experiences in Australia, recounting the good, the bad and the downright hilarious.
