International Rules 2011

[coyler]

Now that your Grand Final and our All Ireland Final are both over it must be that time again when we start insulting each other about what cry babies/toughs/hard men/softies etc each others players are.

Having said that we are one up already having stuffed your RU team and listened to your journos whingeing like pommes ever since!

Whats the news anyway ? Is Mick Malthouse still the manager? Does anybody give a toss? Will all our lads and lassies now in NZ make it back to Aussie in time for the games?

 

[Eth]

All I know is that Zac Smith and Trent McKenzie are playing.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Rocket Eade is the coach, no?

I hope Gus Monfries gets a gig.

 

[Spitta09]

Is IR on this year? To be honest havn't taken much notice whatsoever

Wow, there's a game at Etihad, this really has been getting no press hasn't it?

It will be interesting to see if Marty Clarke comes out, and stays.

 

[blaze036]

The Cannon will scare the shit outa them.

BOOM *holy crap...*

 

[Igloo]

Rocket Eade is the coach, no?

Yep, Rocket is the coach.

Haven't heard anything other than that about it at all though. It's usually on in October isn't it?

According to the AFL website 28th October@ Etihad and 4th November at wtf Gold Coast?? That is laughable what are they trying to do now confuse the poor Queenslanders and promote another game?

[Ravenous Crow]

Yeah get pumped guys, lets beat those damn Irish at a sport neither of us play or care about!

 

[JasRulz63]

With Smith playing, would we see Fletcher not play keeper this time round? Smith was a keeper in his youth wasn't he.

Never really watched it and won't watch it again, it's boring crap.

 

[TigerGlory]

I'd love to see Dustin Martin play. Probably wouldnt happen though.

 

[W.C. Fry]

Subi Oval used to get the other game - we always got decent crowds. Went to the last 3 here and it was fun to go watch. Couldn't care less now they have given the game to the Gold Coast. Going to be a massive crowd watching it

 

[westie88]

Looking forward to it - might get down to Metricon for the match. Love the Gaelic football and the fact that it is still amateur, and I find the hybrid rules very entertaining.

 

[lmach]

I will be heading down to the Goldy, hopefully a few Eagles are playing. Would love to see Waters and Shuey get a gig. Hurn should be keeper, when we get a kick out he will pick it up, drive the ball to the other end of the field and put a hole through the net without even getting it 2 meters off the ground.

If NicNat plays, we win.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Needs moar biff, it's gotten pretty stale over the years.

The high point of this series was back in 2006 when the players cared more about decking each other than scoring.

 

[melbournemartin]

Ahh the annual "I don't care about this series yet will put in the effort making sure everyone knows I don't care" is about to hit town. Looking forward to the series. Etihad game on my birthday is nice. Particularly excited about Frawley and Trengove.

good times... good times...

What's the population of Ireland ?

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Game is fun to attend. Good atmosphere.

Crap to watch on TV though.

 

[Hit And Rum]

Is the Gooch coming out again to beat the living bejaysus out of us!!??

I can already hear the Aussie players crying: "The Gooch...not the mighty Gooch!!! I won't play this infernal abomination of a game if the all-conquering, man-mountain called the Gooch even enters the country!!!"

 

[PortBrillance]

I used to watch it years ago and love it, but now I haven't seen a match for at least 5 years. I won't go out of my way to watch it tbh, not fussed

 

[PTizzle]

Must be wanting to show off Metricon.

Team announcements seem okay but Brad Green!?

Trent McKenzie will be amazing to watch, he'll just bomb it from halfway all game.
