International Football

The International Football game is this sunday, i cant wait.
last year was awesome, even though we were a bit reckless it was fun to watch us hurt Ireland, they were weak.

Whats the Austrlaian line up for the game?

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I know Michael Voss, James Hird and Barry Hall are all playing :p

[Kevin]

do you mean soccer? or has vfl gone international? :p

[worry_rock]

It's not soccer nor VFL...

It's Gaelic football, also known as International Rules.

I know everyone went up in arms about how un-Australian our out muscling them was last year and so many people were outraged... but I found it hilarious! In a completely un-sadistic way, I'm sure.
It's gonna be a completely different ballgame over there, though.

I haven't even checked who's playing yet. I read a while ago a few of my boys were supposed to be in the side, but the AFL websites are so slow to load now I've blown my limit and am back on dial up speed. Meh.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Nah we'll still out-muscle them lol

Though our team isnt quite as good as last year methinks.
No offense to Hird or Vossy but theyre both lacking a fair bit in the old leg speed

[Rhiannon]

Oh of course. We'll just have to put up with the crowd and things like that.

I thought putting Voss in was an odd move, considering how he's never played before. I trust Sheeds, though.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Yeah Ive heard that he'll be our goalkeeper. So that kinda helps reduce the impact of his lack of leg speed

It's not Gaelic football, it's international rules :p . It's a hybrid game of both aussie rules and gaelic.

I've always been a fan of this game even when we've been shit. Will be great to see young Danyle Pearce out there :)

[Sabrestorm]

Voss in goals? Where will Fletcher be? I'd rather voss running around than Fletcher.

Go Rainsey

[Julian]

Hopefully on the bench

[kyle_182]

they should basically just have all fast players playing bcoz its a small field which will be to hard for just kicking around.

they should also get judd and kerr playing one day, i think they would suit the game well.

[Sabrestorm]

yeah i agree but they've made him a captain so I can't see him being on the bench much

[kyle_182]

we win again!!

its stupid how there saying that the future of the game is in doubt, and how all the irish were complaining about the physical factor of the game.

that first fight was both teams, the irish player first put his knee in the aussies guys back, and then all the aussies players started bumping them and then the fight broke out. and that tackle which knocked that guy out was nothing, even the irish commentator said so. and that bump by selwood, it was high but he didnt raise his elbow and both commentators were saying it was in-play but just high.

the irsih just need to harden up bcoz thats how they lose, they get intimidated too easily.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

Not so much intimidated; theyre just stupid for trying to rough us up.

If they played an open flowing game theyd probably have our measure

[Rhiannon]

I missed the second match. *gutted* Hopefully my dad recorded it for me, it's the first match I've missed in years.

[worry_rock]

Just gotta say....GO STANTS!!! Love that kid.

Gah, getting up at 6:30am yesterday to watch was a PAIN IN THE ASS.

[Strider]

I didn't get to see it cos I was at work :( dammit. But yeah, it's funny how they try and roughen us up but it always backfires hahaha That's just really really stupid. Glad we won tho :D
