The Western Bulldogs, Fremantle, Melbourne, St Kilda, Collingwood and Geelong have two representatives apiece while the Brisbane Lions, Adelaide, Essendon and Richmond each have one player.
St Kilda's Sam Gilbert and Montagna will also make the trip.
The team will gather together in Melbourne next Friday before departure.

The first Test will be played at Limerick on Saturday October 23 and the second at Croke Park in Dublin a week later

Hope they don't get injured.

Do the players nominate themselves or are they just selected with no prior consulatation?

It used to be pretty close to the AA side that we would send over. But nowadays it seems that they just ask around to see who's keen and then just build a side.

Joey played last time, and I'm pretty sure he was our only one. I know Roo and Dal have played in the past. Max has also.

Good to see 2 of our players selected, but Malthouse should have been stripped of his role as the international coach instead of the poultry $7000 fine for calling Milne a rapist out on the ground.

He lied and to me the $7000 fine is just not good enough

he is ' being considered'
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/spo ... 70177.html
Tohill, meanwhile, will stage a final trial game in Limerick on Saturday before announcing his 30-strong squad early next week. Tohill currently has 45 players on his provisional panel, but this will be cut after Saturday.

Two former Kerry players now part of the Australian code – Tadhg Kennelly and Tommy Walsh – are in line to make the final cut, with Kennelly particularly keen to play having missed out on the 2008 series in Australia through injury.
Games are Oct 23 and 30

Come on Aussies, g'wan and batter dem fookin' Oirish loike.

edit: Chris Johnson has to be one of the hardest and nastiest pieces of work I've ever seen on a footy field.

Great footballer.

Wish none of our players played.

It's irrelevant and would rather them not risk injury.

More entertaining than our game plan.

Totally agree.
Though would be happy for the Tomminator to play.

But Monty and Gilbert should have a rest.
Let's face it - the competition is TOTALLY MEANINGLESS !!

Yeah they should have selected the Tommynator.
He now knows how to play both codes and kick both balls.
He would have been a valuable player for the AFL in this hybrid game.

Reckon Gilbo's a good enough mate of Tommy's to get out of his way and Joey won't mind the hard stuff anyway :wink:
