IR is stupid and pointless.

May as well play volleyball against each other.

Get rid of it.

I'm not the biggest IR follower. But I think it's quite special and unique that the best players from two separate indigenous sporting codes can go head to head against each other in an international sporting contest.

The only thing I don't like is the two test series - it should really be one or three. Deciding a series on aggregate is silly.

Totally agree with this. Either play one or best of 3 but playing 2 is a bit stupid.

What happens if after 2 games the scores are level?????

Is the 3rd game played, or is there extra time or do they just declare it as a draw??????

 

[raboyle]

No third game, trophy is kept by previous series winner.

 

[maccas_no1]

Yes that is I the SPIRIT of the IR series The Spirit of Football, the Spirit of the AFC Supporters Group

 

[raboyle]

Where is everyone meeting at?

Outside the ground or at a pub? Give me a hint!

I leave Adelaide in less than 24 hours!!

 

[maccas_no1]

Who is everyone rayboyle it's me you and my daughter

Right decision or wrong decision, this is a very sad way for a true champion to go out.

Premature end for Bickley
11:29:07 AM Wed 29 October, 2003
afl.com.au
Mark Bickley’s hopes of a grand farewell to football at the MCG on Friday night have been dashed after he received a one-match suspension for rough play arising out of last Friday’s International Rules opening clash at Subiaco.

Bickley appeared before a specially-convened tribunal at AFL headquarters on Wednesday and pleaded not guilty.

There was some confusion during the hearing because the Irish team did not turn up to give evidence. Apparently, players do not give evidence in tribunal hearings in Gaelic Football.

Buckley’s advocate Iain Findlay argued before the tribunal that Bickley had already served an appropriate penalty on the night – 15 minutes in the sin bin.

However, tribunal chairman Richard Loveridge stated that the charge properly constituted ‘rough play’ because the contact was unreasonable.

Bickley retired at the end of the season after a glittering 272-game career that included his captaincy of the 1997 and 1998 Adelaide premiership teams.

The International Rules series was to mark his farewell to competitive football, but instead of a grand finale in front of a packed MCG crowd, it all ends on something of a sour note.
