Its good to see you afl supporters seeing how much of a joke international rules is. Now you only have one organisation to blame for it dont yas? The AFL. Point your fingers with me folks, the AFL has made a mockery of itself on this one.

And i think we should also talk about raiders point. How is it these irish lads, basiclly unpaid butchers, pig farmers, potato pickers and bakers, how is it they have no troubles whippin australias so called finest athletes? Its a very very strong argument against the afl players as professional athletes, regardless of which friggin ball they're kickin!!! Lordy lordy my what on earth is the problem?

From an objective standpoint i'd have to say raiders' suggestions are fairly accurate again on this one. I mean, look at our leaguies who turn to the alternative game union as an example. The RL athletes run rampant over the sluggish fat union lards simply because they are superior athletes, in every sense...not the case for our afl fellas playing international rules though is it...?

As it is, I agree.
I've enjoyed the series up to now as it has been entertaining and the game has it's supporters.
The IR games have actually facilitated ineteraction between amateur GAA and AFCs.
But I don't see the promtion of AR. There is insufficient AR games, exhibitions or clinics.
The lowlight was Australia youth playing the RSA youth at IR.
I don't mind if the IR series if it's properly rejigged AND there is more AR promotion.

Simple. The essence of sports like ARs and Gaelic footy is ball control. It takes years and years to be able to master the skills required to deliver an accurate pass using either an oval or round ball, but the skill required for either are totally different. Expecting AFL players to compete with Gaelic footballers using an round ball is ludicrous, as it would be the other way, even more so. They simply cannot relearn a lifetime of ball delivery skills within a few weeks.
