Some time ago, and with the assistance of the AFL and supporting statistician Stephen Williamson, a team of Carlton senior players, dubbed the “International XVIII” was named. The team comprised a starting 18 plus healthy interchange of six more players known to have been born overseas.
To that interchange can now be added a seventh and eighth – Zach Tuohy’s Irish-born contemporaries County Louth’s Ciaran Byrne and Cork’s Ciaran Sheehan.
Carlton's International XVIII (plus eight):
| Backs | Ted Brewis (born Bedlington, England) | Michael Sexton (born Lae, Papua & New Guinea) | Bernie Bignell (born Birmingham, England) |
| Half-backs | Robbert Klomp (born The Netherlands) | Val Perovic (born Croatia) | Zach Tuohy (born Portlaoise, Ireland) |
| Centreline | Milham Hanna (born Kantara, Lebanon) | George Renwick (born Surrey, England) | Wayne Blackwell (born London, England) |
| Half-forwards | Ian Muller (born South Africa) | Fred Pringle (born Assam, India) | Henry McPetrie (born Cathcart, Glasgow, Scotland) |
| Forwards | Tommy Hughes (born at sea, registered Launceston) | Alex Jesaulenko - Captain-Coach (born Salzburg, Austria) | Jim Coucher (born New Zealand) |
