In a vain attempt to stall the descent into madness speculating about a certain players' future, how's about Hibbo getting a gig with the round ballers?

Have fun, Hibbo, just don't get hurt, eh?

    Pretty impressive team. Gotta laugh that the only time we get to see the best footy players in the country play in the same game, they are playing a completely different sport.

    Well done to Hibbo but this series is a complete waste of time, why do we continue this?

    I note the six-day break between games including a trip to Perth . . .

    Keep fit Hibbo do alot of running.   However keep away from the contacts we don't need you hurt. Need you fit for the 2018 season.

    100% correct.

    I simply do not understand what this hybrid game is meant to achieve.

    I suspect it's all about raising the profile of AFL with the Irish lads, with the hope of getting more of them to cross over to Aussie rules.

    A "meet and greet" so to speak.

    Well it is massive fail because there has not been one recruited for some time.

    I suspect it is just another AFL old boys club rout.

    Tell them he's unavailable, now that Watts is gone, he's the only player on our list that can kick properly, can't have him getting injured.

    Dumbest idea ever, from the Royal Family of dumb ideas.

    Scrap it because its dumb.

    You dont see Basketballers playing a Hybrid netball game.

    You dont see Baseballers playing a Hybrid Cricket game.

    This game is a farce and nobody cares about it, unless one of their teams players gets injured.

    End it and concentrate on important stuff like making pies cheaper. 

    Stupid, meaningless game.

    Dumb.

    Australia. Making Irish sport relevant since 1984.

    And Who the phcuk is Cormac McAnellan, and why is a pointless trophy named after him?

    Give the bastards an oval ball, and see how they handle that.

    Ireland, yibada pataytoes

    Meet, greet, and punch in the head, more like. For some of our boys it seems like a good chance to get on the p!ss and play the sort of footy you'd get in the Reservoir seconds.

    If anyone knows whose brain fart this originally was, I''d be interested to hear it.

    Why torture  yourself any further UF?

    I agree with the angst about the potential for players to get injured, but why all the hate for the game?

    The international rules series is based on Gaelic football, but with slightly modified rules, which is bloody good game. I'm not Irish but was fortunate to see my first gaelic football match at Croke Park in Dublin earlier this year and it's definitely one of my most memorable sporting experiences.

    It's not quite as nuts as hurling but I reckon it's a great game and will definitely try and watch it!

    How many players have been seriously injured in the IR before? The mode of play means the contact aspect is nowhere near  as heavy or frequent as in our game. It's the most spurious argument against the IR I reckon. Players are far more likely to get injured in pre-season training.

    I've no interest in the IR but I think for the players it's definitely something they should do when given the chance. It's not their sport of choice, but it's probably the only way they'll get to represent Australia on a sporting stage in their career. Congratulations and good luck to them.

    This is a great reward for both players, but I really hope they don't get hurt. 

    Correct but now my worry level has doubled. 

    We are talking about half of the better part of our back line.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
