Poor form Crow
 
Geelong supporter. That's all you need to understand. They post more about Hawthorn than they do their own club. Strange people.
Oh how nice to throw us all in the one basket.

Oh and Pot.Kettle.Black:)

If the Irish had their best team on the park, we'd of had an amazing game.

Plus I reckon with Australia taking it way more seriously, you'll have the Irish become more acclimatised to tackling/preparing for it more diligently.

Thinking the series might start to be what it was always supposed to be in the next few years. The opportunity for the best of their countries to represent.

I thought us and Crows supporters are bad, but man, Cats and Hawks fans, wow, there's some real hate there lol

Back to the game, I've never been the biggest fan of this concept, but have to admit, I enjoyed tonight

Also, credit to the WA public, great atmosphere

Lastly, tonight, I personally cheered every Aussie, regardless of who they play for. It was actually nice to cheer for Danger and Brodie

Was an enjoyable game to watch I thought.
I reckon the Irish in general are fast and very skilful. Considering that the face of it they are an amateur comp, they match up to us well.
Happy to see the Aussies get up, and happier still that it all seemed to go over in the right spirit, both on field and off.

Very happy that my hometown turned out in big numbers to watch.

It's a stupid game let's face it.
Near as boring as the cricket.
We should get them to field an AFL team with the intention of getting other countries to play AFL too, have a World Series every now and then. Bring good players to australia.
This mutant game is pathetic and an embarrassment.
Wrong.
 
Why were there so few ball ups compared to an AFL game?

The ball didn't get locked up much at all.

Because you can easily knock out a round ball to the advantage of your teammates. Also the tackling isn't as intense.

The Irish coverage this year is being done by our Irish language station, so unless you can understand commentary as gaeilge then you'd be stuffed! They do have an Aussie guy on for some brief comments from him in English.
Do you know who the aussie guy was?

Whilst the Ned Kelly Trophy for most violent player goes to no-one
Riewoldt (umps) Fletcher (when shoved into post) and Selwood (last 2min) only nominations but nothing eventuated into anything serious callous
