Irish Eyes already smiling ...on MFC

[TonyMelb 7]

Surprise surprise! guess who top scored for the Aussie International Rules warm up game???

One Brad Green scored 22 of the 105 total score! given his soccer background in junior days is a natural. Reackin he will star!

Chip is also the back up goalie to inspector gadget from the bummers. So will be good for him too.

His only probelm is that although they have an irish heritage none of the previous potatoes (chip's dad or spud) have any idea where in Ireland the frawleys are from. Better not latch on to any of the local lasses just in case then!

Thank god i have I.Q so i can record it. I think its on at 5 a.m sunday morning, or is it monday?

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Please no injuries to any MFC player. I would hate a nasty injury to occur in such a frivolous waste of time like the Irish series. As much credibility as the Grand Final sprint.

The Irish should get serious and drop the Gaelic crap. I'll take interest in this when it becomes football, not a hybrid soccer/football mutation.

... and the Irish are probably saying 'The Australians should get serious and drop the Australian Rules crap. I'll take interest in this when it becomes Gaelic, not a hybid soccer/football mutation'. Mutation or nothing

Nothing it is then.

Pffft it's a bit of fun in the off season.

If you don't care then don't tune in!

Does it need to have any more credibility than that. I'm sure the players are happy to have an all expenses paid trip. Worthy reward for AA honours. Having fun is still allowed.

Would have rather gone to China with the rest of the boys. Far better experience.

You're right a torn ACL is nothing when its for a good (and fun) cause as this.

An injury would be gutting, but I think you underestimate the importance of this series for the players involved.

There is no other opportunity in AFL for the very best to go away with others of the same level to travel, bond, form friendships and represent your country.

[Guest milpod]

Opened this thread with anticipation of some good news about Jimmy.

[CARN THE DEES! 14]

It's a chance to represent your country which is rare in our sport and i think almost all players would be excited to do exactly that.

If you don't like it or enjoy it then don't watch it. There's also no point whining about potential injuries they can happen anytime; on the China trip, at training, even walking down the stairs. It comes with the game, so please give it a rest.

Frankly it's just a fun game to watch and play, plus it gives us all something to do in the off-season other than speculation about the draft etc.

just because u dont like it doesnt mean someone else cant.

u talk as if ur some superior being, its disgusting.

ur worried about injuries? they happen wether its gameday, training or preseason u walk on the field u risk injury.

josh gibson fell over in the shower and injured himself. maybe they should cut back on them too just in case?

Maybe they should ban "hide the soap" down at the Dorks shower rooms though
