Is this thread anything like "That suit is grey ..................NOT" ?

sorry Saintbrat. I couldn't resist.
Haven't got the gist of your dilemha but I take it the International Rules is very ordinary tonight ?

You can watch it live on net - but drops out/stops a bit too often for my liking!

saintbrat · Post: # 669562Post **saintbrat** » Fri 31 Oct 2008 8:00pm

so I am resisting the temptation to post scores

We lost. But had opportunitys. Monty played better in the 2nd half and was the link between either the back line or mid area. haven't seen stats but i think he might have had few. jim stynes on. and pitch invaders about the 2nd quarter.

Hey, you should have a spoiler alert....for us footy starved people watching it on TV tonight!

Jimmy1972 · Post: # 669599Post **Jimmy1972** » Fri 31 Oct 2008 10:00pm

I'm sorry! But it is close I didn't give the scores, phew?

When you watch it let us know if you think we 'TANKED' to make it survive. Could of won but no! The thing that makes me feel ill is the after game commentary by Tim Watson. Cometti doesn't want a bar of it and doesn't talk for 5 minutes. Is this viable for the AFL and why or is money in TV? Is Ireland the 1st international team funded by there Government with the boost from the AFL?

An absolute wank of a game...no interest in it now or in the future....if that puts me at odds with Malthouse then it just makes my position stronger

A notable non event ...nothing more

Saints Premiers 2008 · Fri 31 Oct 2008 10:47pm

over under in and out...thats what shoe-tying's all about

I liked the game to be honest and i would like to see it in future years

No injuries to Australia on the whole I think...

max rooke was injured

In Bali- brought back the bali belly and couldn't play

Went along to the game

Pretty dissapointing crowd..around 40,000 I'd estimate

Good game in patches, but the crowd (much younger than a typical AFL crowd) showed their boredom with a couple of massive Mexican waves. Loud roars of approval greeted the intruders (dressed as nurses, I saw them pre game outside the ground!) and I dont think that would happen at an AFL game somehow lol

The huuuuge gap in round ball kicking and handling skills was never more obvious than after 1/2 time when the ball was wet. Ireland had it on a string...and we didnt lol

Joey...set up an under in the 3rd quarter but also turned it over 3 times than I saw. Wasnt Robinson Crusoe there tho

could hear the wave on the TV, just made me look forward to Boxing Day

Did the sissy's have on their netball skirts?

Girls game played by a bunch of victim mentality Eurotrash ranga's who had to have the game changed even more to their advantage so they could fan their pathetically low self esteem and actually win something.

ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS THIS RUBBISH NEEDS TO HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT THEMSELVES.

It embarrasses the AFL and Australia to be involved in this farce.

Come on now, just watched it....well truth is I miss my Friday night footy

the round ball- the aussies couldn't mark or control it
Why can't every second series be played with the Aussie rules ball-

they seem to have more of their rules than ours- only thing we're allowed to do is tackle them- But not too hard or they get hurt and the aussies get suspended.

and or agree with some radio- let us employ a Soccer goalie......
the goal scoring ( 6 pointers) make the differance.

Jimmy1972 · Post: # 669649Post **Jimmy1972** » Sat 01 Nov 2008 12:39am

What do we gain out of this - AFL? That was bad. really

The rules are skewed towards Ireland, but Australia is a professional unit... and on that alone it is quite evenly matched.

We need a tall key forward. A Riewoldt or a Pavlich would change the game completely. Petrie tried hard in that last quarter, but he doesn't have the class or consistency of some other forwards. He kicked a fantastic goal though.

Furrito (?) tried hard, he performed admirably in a position he would never have played in his life.

Our back line was non existent. It wouldn't have hurt to leave a spare man in defense - too many times the Irish had too much space to work with.

I think next year in Ireland we will do better, especially if we can keep the same core group of players (Harvey, Simpson, Selwood, Petrie, Motlop, etc). And drop Crowley, he can't kick. A lot of easy possessions, but did nothing with them.

We got the gist of it when you posted much the same last week any time the game was mentioned. Not interested? Don't watch. No one's forcing it upon you.
