Ireland v Australia in AFLW? The Irish stars are keen

Irish players Aine McDonagh, Sarah Rowe and Orla O’Dwyer on the idea of Ireland’s AFLW stars facing off against Australia’s best

Just don't get hurt, our girls!

    Need this to happen before Goldie retires (in many, many years, of course).

    Also, I suspect that the Irish influence will eventually be superseded by a greater strength and depth of homegrown talent. No doubt there'll always be spots for Irish players, considering how much they bring to the game, but I think the peak moment for this might be sooner rather than later.

    I love this idea! There are 40+ Irish girls across the comp this season. Bring It on! I’d have a foot in each camp 🇮🇪 🇦🇺

    Hmmm, the Irish girls are great but when you're selecting one team from a pool of 40 players and the other from a pool of 500 I think there will only be one outcome - if it was Aussie Rules. But if it was the old combined rules the men used to play, then it might be very interesting. 😁

    Gee I don’t know, I think it would be pretty close

    Me too. All else aside, the Irish game style would be amazing to watch.

    I guess if there was concern about the Aussie team being stacked, they could put an experience limit on it (best with under 50 games or something). I guess the question is, if we're talking the best 50 or so players in the league as it stands, how many are Irish? I think it's enough, but would be interesting to look into.

    I also just like the idea of seeing what an AFLW team with best talent (minus the Irish) would look like. A hint at what might have been without the rapid expansion...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • 2026 AFL Fixture

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons. Sunday games and late afternoon starts are on the menu with only 1 Friday night fixture until Round 15. They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.
