The 194cm Duffy, who is regarded as one of Gaelic football's best young talents, was signed alongside fellow teenager Rob Monahan as international rookies earlier this year. (2025) Monahan, a 189cm prospect who played Gaelic football for Kerry in Ireland, is listed for next season and kickstarted his pre-season preparations when Carlton's full squad returned a couple of weeks ago. Duffy was one of two Irish recruits that the Blues lured to Australia back in August, but ruptured his ACL playing for Gaelic side Dromard last month and has remained in his homeland to begin his rehab. He subsequently hasn't been listed at Carlton for next season, though there is a commitment for the teenager to return to the Blues midway through next year ahead of officially joining the club in 2025.

Matt Duffy left Carlton and returned to Ireland; it was reported as a return home rather than a formal retirement from football. He informed the club in August 2026 that he was going back to Ireland to be closer to family after spending three years in Australia.
