International Rules - Australia v Ireland

[Taylor]

If Petracca can get himself ready for the next series we might be able to have Danger Fyfe and Trac in the middle. That's brutal.

Exactly, the mid forwards are the best players in the IRS. Strong marks and mobility. In and under players can watch from the stands, not enough of that.

 

[Demon13304]

You can tell that all the players in general were loving it

To be honest Bontempelli would be the guy who'd be the one we'd all want to see in tandem with Fyfe and Dangerfield.

Whoever decided that 'Advance Australia Fair' should be our National Anthem ... has a lot to answer for!

The Australian people choose it via a plebiscite.

Dusty?

 

[ezard15]

Far out the Irish coach press conference is like watching a car crash.

Repeats himself, complains about the umpiring, etc etc.

 

[Whiskers]

Don't think Hawkins deserved a spot in that side ahead of Brown.

Weather that's true or not, the thread would've been an even greater read.

 

[King_Steele]

Dusty/Danger/Fyfe in the middle would be lethal.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

It clearly has the support of the players, the best players in the comp play every year (minus ablett, but he doesn't put his boots on like everyone else. He picks and chooses his afl matches so no surprise there).

It use to have the support of the public, full sell out crowds but the afl have seriously mishandled this series.

After last night one things for sure. It Needs to be a best of 3 series so BASIL doesn't say literally every 2 mins "Australia are in front but if the game were to stop now by aggregate they Lose!!!"

How many times can he say it? Seriously in the 3rd qtr he said it about a dozen times alone.

Scrap the afl x and start a Gaelic series with a bets of 7 or something spread out every fortnight.

Another things for sure, Nat fyfe is the closest thing we have to a professional athlete in the AFL.

Basil informed the viewers of the series aggregate margin 13 times in the 1st Qtr.
Unfortunately for Basil he was born with 2 dicks but more unfortunate for AFL fans, one of them can talk.

 

[Alesana]

Gil reckons they’ll get 60-80k over there lolz.

They’ll struggle to get 10k.

10k making it a sell out just like the China game

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

The Fyfe forearm to the chest was so powerful the Irishman felt it in his face, because as he flopped to the floor that is where his hand went to protect the injury.

So that might be why the umpires didn't punish it.

It’s pretty humorous that the Irish coach wanted Fyfe sent off for that one, when he so clearly took a dive.

It was Darling-esque.

I'd love to see that Martin bloke out there.

 

[Huntercrow]

Just saw the replay. I forgot the game was on. Very entertaining. I like the Hybrid game. Its so good watching Selwood, Sloane, Fyfe, Dangerfield and some angry Irishmen on the same pitch. And I like that amateurs can mix it with professionals. Also I wonder if the Irish game has a womens comp. Something for the future maybe.

What about the unprecedented one?

It's got everything. Possibly more entertaining than , dare I say it, our game

Out rated A league in Sydney .

 

[Power Raid]

[Bumpswithagrin]

Thanks. I had heard the Adelaide figure but wasn't sure what they got in Perth. I think those are decent crowds for this type of match.

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

What's the difference between Selwoods bump and the Irish bloke dumping zorko into the ground after the tackle lol. The Irish wanna be physical until the aussies are better than them at it.
We play the Cats round 1 and I'd be disgusted if Selwood missed for that.

Selwood got the Irish guy late and high. He was legit hurt from the bump.

Zorko was shoving the Irish guy in the back while he was down so he tripped him up. Zorko hopped right back up and jogged off. Zorko was being a little shit and got ankle picked for it.

I agree that Selwood shouldn't get a week for that though.

The crowds in the early 2000s were sell outs, so it can get back to that. Give it a few years of selecting the best
