That was moi .
A bit of perspective into things .Australia Vs Ireland .
In IR the majority of 20 million people Vs majority of 6.4 people .
In RU the minority of NSW & QLD Vs minority of Ireland .
In RU NZ are favourites because they have a commited population of 4.3 million .

Fletcher's gotta be goalie again. So what if Zac Smith is an experienced soccer goalkeeper as someone suggested. Fletcher is an experienced IR goal keeper and was superb last year. He was also brilliant again this year for Essendon despite being tagged half the time.

Zac Smith played soccer, but was never a goalie.

Yeah, Smith was never a goalkeeper. Played a defender role, but no goalkeeper.

God I hope not one single Geelong player is selected to represent.
The whole thing is a waste of time and if I see someone like Varcoe injured this series I will spew up.

Exactly the comment that kills SOO or any other development of Australian Football .
Feel the same way. Australia is supposed to be represented by the All-Australian team, therefore no Richmond players should be putting their pre-seasons (or more) at risk.
Agree with this. He basically plays a keeper in AFL as well despite the posts being infinitely high. Still goes for the desperate goal block with his go go gadget arms.

good to see tommy walsh and chris mckaigue be in contention for the irish. the more Australian based players the better as the fitness/competitiveness compnents favor the Australians
walsh has a great second half in 2011 and i have seen mckaigue play in a few NEAFL games down here for the swans reserves and has been getting better game by game.
did walsh play really well in last years series or was that in the all ireland final?

Jake King is currently suspended yet is conscripted to play in this? How seriously is the AFL taking its 'no violence' vow?

Tommy Walsh did not play in the All Ireland Final last year! Marty Clarkes Down beat them in the semi final before losing to Cork in the final.
Any word of which club Marty is supposed to be joining now that he is going back to Aus?

Don't compare it to SOO, that's the same game and I seriously doubt that many people would consider that "a waste of time".

That little fella has had more contested touches in that 30 second clip than Danyle Pearce has had in a career.

I would.
The comp itself is now national; SOO is outmoded. I agree wholeheartedly with anyone who doesn't want to see their players injured in a Mickey Mouse game that means nothing. It's tantamount to a player getting injured in a practice match.

I didn't say that everyone would want it, more that a lot less would be against than are against IR. Personally, I don't like the idea of a player getting injured in a SOO game and missing games for their club. I would only embrace SOO were it played in October like the IR is (couldn't give 2 ****s about the IR no matter when it was played though), when most injuries suffered wouldn't affect a player's season.

Ah, that whetted my appetite for seeing the whole thing again. Perhaps it was just my adolescent immaturity, but back then it seemed like the greatest entertainment of all time.
