[MTTY]

[truBLUE]

started 30 mins ago

Ah ok i've just been watching online as i'm heading out in a minute.

The sad thing is, no-one cares. I wish I did because I love the concept, I love the Irish lads playing AFL but the reality is this has low interest. I think only 22,000 turned up, which for Melbourne is pretty poor.

Not sure what the answer is but they need to revamp the idea. Late October is not the answer for a start.

i think they would have got more if it was played in WA. I think the lows numbers were mainly due to the fact there was essentailly no stars in the Australian team and it showed, they were really bad. A state gaelic or the national gaelic team could have beat the team they put out.

The afl should make it a rule that the highest paid member in each club must play, unless the team selectors need someone of a different position :P

Then they could probs get a killer team together :P

But it's not about that Zip, coz none of the teams would agree.

THink of it this way, why are there no Pies playing in this?? Coz Mr. Eddie is too soft and selfish and doesn't want his team to be injured. I'm pretty sure that some of the younger players at Collingwood would want to play (Beams , Sidebottom) but aren't allowed to by the club.

Hopefully for Australia, they can turn it around in the second.

+1 totally agree most clubs do it , bit like the last few season of origin(state) footy, At one stage every star would be playing ,then big names  slowly stopped playing because clubs didn't want to risk injury "SOFT".

Not so sure about the " Injury" thing. It might have a impact but why did the big players play last year? Because they wanted to go to Ireland. I think if the big players wanted to they could play international rules but they don't want to. I think it's disappointing that Australia's top players don't want to represent their country  >:(

Something massive is going to happen tonight. There will be a huge fight. I can sense it.

Haha you sensed right. Massive fighting in the third quarter. Last quarter will probably get worse (or better if you like watching the fights)

The fights are the best part.
We need to get the third quarter on youtube. That was the funniest thing I have seen in a while. Especially Razor Ray :D

[CrowsFan]

Yeah I do enjoy the fights. This last quarter sucks in comparison!

I know. Was a much better match than last weeks though :).
