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! :lol:

    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

    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.

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

    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

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
