International Rules 2011

[Hank93]

Australia getting a 16.5 head start on sportsbet. Is it worth it.

Good sport, terrible replacement for State of Origin though.

 

[Barnzy]

Quarterbrain on Frawley "He's in trouble here". "He's KO'd".

5 seconds later Frawley gets up and takes the free. Muppet.

 

[lock33]

Tommy Walsh is gonna kill someone, I love him already Go Bloods!

20m penalty is so much better than the 50m penalty that is way to severe for everything.

Razor Ray is still a prick.

 

[Lightning_Rod]

Stream?

 

[vWestCoast]

Would like one also.

Any fights so far ?

 

[BLUES9898]

Is It live

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Any fights so far ?

Small spot fires. Nothing big though.

It's live on the telly in Melbourne. Don't know about other states.

 

[absy]

Get Grigg off what a spud

 

[Speck]

Quite a bit of banter in this one, good to see us showing a bit of passion.

We still struggle a kicking the ball a lot of turnovers as a result of our kicks.

Get the feeling Ireland might do it similar to last time, their ability to kick the ball to players on a lead in comparison to us is a huge difference.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Lol. Who does Grigg play for again?

Worst player out there so far, easily. Losing every one on one he's involved in.

I would say we should just smack them around and be done with this irrelevant little Gaelic experiment, but I honestly don't think the team we have selected is strong enough to do that. Kelly, Swallow, Milne and Vince seem like the only good players in the side. Other than that, it's a heap of B graders - just the guys who decided to give up on their holiday for the year.

 

[Stone in sock]

It's a least good for a giggle watching Monfries try and act like a tough guy

Richmond.

We are trying to get stuck into them as much as we can (without getting in trouble). Definitely targeting their captain/goalkeeper and trying to get into his head.

 

[juddsentant517]

Quartermain is insufferable

 

[Baz_hawk]

Brad Green slapping and diving all over the place. Wish we had Hall and Cloke out there, just need some big bodies to impose themselves on the game.

 

[Speck]

Suckling (and pretty much the rest of the team) need to give up on short kicks. Bomb it long or handball it.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Brad Green

Right on cue *sigh*

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Look, our players have to learn how to kick a soccer ball, how to play on a different field, how to not handball too many times consecutively, how to not tackle or be too physical, how to keep a soccer goal - could you cut us some slack and take the soccer element out of the game?

We play Aussie rules, not soccer.

 

[boncer34]

Someone needs to tell the Irish ref his boys don't need his help to dominate. Also didn't anyone teach Milne how to kick.

 

[Speck]

This Irish ref loves paying every soft free to their side.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Used to love the international rules but this version is so soft its not funny. Good body work by monfries and the whistle goes straight away.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

All the Irish need to do is fall over near one of our players and it's a free kick. WTF?

So soft.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

The whole thing is rather 'meh'.

Quaterbrain........gee he is making his last call for 10 memorable.

Too many duds in Australia - Grigg (seriously?), Milne is laughable, Monfries - why?, Green is amusing.

The frees are getting a bit of a joke.

 

[lock33]

This Irish ref loves paying every soft free to their side.

The 'look at me' maggot Razor Ray set the precedent at the first bounce.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Dear god this game is like netball. The Irish chnages that they added after 2006 have turned this game into the most boring, stop-start contest ever.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Needed to add in the retiring guys who didn't mind some physicality - Hall, Mooney, Ling, Milburn. Wouldn't win, but it would be fun to watch the Irish squeal again when they can't handle the old hard nuts.
