All Aboriginal Team to take on Ireland

[whufc]

Squad of 33 announced today. No SA reps, must be something wrong with Wingard, Petrenko and Johncock. Davey and Lovett-Murray both getting farewell tours

was focusing more on Wingard than petrenko, just backs up my argument (sort of)

Interesting diversity of views on this thread. I'm all for the tour and the selection process. But it is blatant racism, just the harmless sort we don't talk about much. You could never pick an All White Anglo/Celtic team but then, why would you?

Did anyone watch the game on Sunday?

I watched the replay, and thought it was a bit boring until about halfway through the 3rd quarter.

I saw most of it and agree it was a bit boring - previous matches have been more interesting.
I think our side lacked a bit in height and their ball-handling and kicking appeared to suffer from not enough time spent practising with the differently shaped ball. That offset the speed advantage they should have had in theory, and left the score margin generally too wide to keep up the interest.

It kinda irritated me that the commentators were saying the Indigenous boys were "blazing away with their kicks" and "usually very good kicks for goal" when they missed shots on goal.

The idiot was referring to them kicking for goal in the AFL, which is totally different than with the round ball they had to kick in Ireland.

I reckon we should alternate which ball is used. So when they come play Tests on Australian soil, they have to kick Sherrins.

The game already suits the AFL boys enough. IMO we should stop making excuses & pick a proper team to win other than who's available.

Or just let this shit concept go. Stale. Boring. Only exciting when there is an all-in.

I like Gaelic Football and the hybrid game and deplore the "all-in" in any sport.
In my view "sport" is an attitude not just a physical activity.

The problem with poor disposal is that the guys just don't adapt to the round ball's tendency to curve if you don't kick or hit it perfectly.
Nor do they get using that tendency to curve to advantage.

I played goalie in a Soccer team at school and learned that the best way to get range and a straight trajectory was to drop kick the b..... thing!
(You just have to get it right - no margin for error...)

These were the days. I could watch this all day.

[Failed Creation]

These were the days. I could watch this all day.

Amen. As previously mentioned, it's the only watchable aspect of the 'hybrid' or 'mongrel' game.

[the wonder elephant]

These were the days. I could watch this all day.

Love it some big hits there

[The Sleeping Giant]

That Chris Johnson sequence is awesome. Put about 4 on their arse.

I like how he's the boundary rider for this series too.
