Australian International Rules Squad Announced

[vaughany]

So.... Are they still allowed to smack the crap outta each other, because that was the best part.
I still remember Browny wipeout some poor Irish dude in Perth a few years back, took him 10min to get up. Yellow carded to an applause.

Ha ha been banned since the infamous Chris Johnson incident...

Who do you reckon will commentate?

I'm thinking Cometti and Basil due to it being their hometown. Luke Darcy and Richo as well maybe?

Bruce deserves some time off been busy with horse racing and aust open is just around the corner

Just hope it is not Brian Taylor.

Just hope it is not Brian Taylor.

This thread will implode if he is commentating.

 

[vaughany]

Worth getting the mods to start up a game day thread for tonight's game or just keep discussion in here?

 

[Righteo]

I'd be in favour of a gameday thread but it's hard to see it breaking 2-3 pages gauging the interest here.

 

[ziad]

any sign of a live broadcast into a struggling development market?

not seen so far??

I sort of agree. I will be watching though as I love the idea of seeing so many really good players all playing for the same team.

7mate has it live at 8:30pm in Sydney.

 

[Engimal]

I'm actually excited, for the first time in years. Let's smash the little pricks!

Despite having it listed as 'Live' on TV guides, it's on a 30 minutes delay in Adelaide, where it's also starting at 8:30pm.

Hmm that's a bit dodgy!

 

[Righteo]

Also believe it's delayed into Perth despite virtually being a sellout.

cheers

 

[The Passenger]

i'm pretty whatever about the concept but to see this many of our great players in the one team for once will be reason enough to watch.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Still more meaningful then the Victorian wankfest a few years ago

 

[Jakko]

I will watch some of it. Wouldn't bother is the stars weren't playing.

 

[vaughany]

Lingy is involved with the commentary good start

Wingard to dominate with round ball

Johnson showed them what a real man is. Wouldn't want to get on his bad side.

 

[King_Steele]

I'm only watching for Riewoldt & Montagna

 

[Elite Master]

This year they have tried to add some prestige to the concept, but theu should have done that 10 years ago

Better late than never? Besides it's really only been the last 2 or 3 tests which have been poor. There have been some good hit outs particularly in the early 2000's where the concept was in its peak at least in terms of popularity.

The one thing I'd change about this year's test is that it be played in Melbourne..

It will crack 3 pages if players start getting injured.

 

[Cleavy]

who's doing the commentary? Hamish, Ling and Darcy?

Ling confirmed not sure who else will do it
