Thanks a lot guys, when did the supergoal come in?

Excuse my ignorance but on the live scoring it says 2.9.2 74. I'm used to seeing goals and behinds on TV. What are the three figures?

He was a talented Minor for Down but to be honest in Gaelic footballing talent terms, there are probably 3 or 4 of that standard coming through every year. What makes Martin stand out is how successful he was at making the transition. What I'm saying is that there is 3 or 4 every year with a...

You're totally right. Florence Grifth Joyner! Need I say more? Still the only woman to break 10.5 in the 100m but mostly likely riddled with drugs all that time. We'll never know now but its probably a safe assumption to make considering she keeled over from a heart attack at age 35 or...

You're right of course. We're really comparing apples with oranges here. Most of the NFL guys train for the short bursts. Still with the raw material they've got I dare say they could develop the stamina if they ever decided to play Aussie rules. I wouldn't hold my breath as the Americans rarely...

Oops. Sorry I got my facts wrong there. Willie Gault was actually part of the 1983 US 4 x 100m team who broke the world record. Apparently he was the second fastest man in the 100m season during 1980, and would have gone to the summer olympics, had the Americans not boycotted it (admitted that's...

100% agree. I've seen 17 stone line-backers who can break 11 seconds for the 100m (on grass)!! One guy for Philadelphia ran 11.5 for 100m and he was 6' 5" and 19 stone! Scary. Even some of those 300+ pounders can break 6 seconds over 40 yards, which is unbelievable. The same boys can also turn...

How do you work out the too soft thing? If you're comparing it on the basis of the compromise rules series you'd do well to remember that the Gaelic football players are all amateurs. Look what full-time training has done to young Clarke, Kennelly, Stynes, O Halpin etc. and these guys were by...

:) Well, I did follow the Bombers for a couple of years way back in the mid 80s until channel 4 over here decided to stop covering Aussie Rules. Now that I've subscribed to Setanta, who are covering 3 live games a week I thought, why would I change teams now! Unfortunately I only subscribed in...

I'm fairly new to Aussie Rules and I was wondering if there were any books that would cover general strategy of the game?

Thanks. We have these positions in Gaelic football as well. You boys have three extra men in the Ruckman, Ruck Rover and Rover. I traweled through Wikipedia last night and came up with some of the terminology. Still a good book or DVD would be useful. When do next seasons fixtures comes out?

Gaday to you all. I'm a new footy fan from Ireland keen to learn about the game. I saw footy for the first time about 20 years ago and followed Essendon for a couple of years at that time. Then they stopped showing it on TV over here and I lapsed my interest. About three months ago I started a...
