Well I tried to say up and watch it but fell asleep so missed the whole game

I'm with you airpoe.
What a waste of space this "invented"game is.
Just can't get enthusiastic about it at all as it is meaningless.
Would much rather watch the GF again and again

Well said, it's not that hard to program a VCR or DVD recorder

Johnson was alright. You bandwagon guys are showing you lack of appreciation of Aussie rules tradition. Besides, I don't recall much crit. of Bazza's Grand Final beheadings on RWO? Hmmm? Smacks of hypocrisy.

BTW: What was with the Irish player who, when physically challenged lay on the ground in the fetal position and covered his eyes? Wow. That was embarrassing. Talk about letting yourself be bullied.

I enjoyed the rough and tumble of the first half and the good football in the third quarter. Forget Uruguay, the visit to Ireland should be HOT! HOT! HOT!

Kick a Mick!

At least Barry looked like he was going for the ball and Panda got straight up...ooops sorry, I forgot...none of the Irish got tsraight up even when they were the aggressors.

I find it amusing that James Packer was quoted last week as stating how important it is for 9 to retain the AFL. Then show this serries as late as it did.

They had a great opportunity to showcase the game as there was nothing on in Sydney on Friday night sport wise so there was no clash. Way to take advantage of Sydney's GF win Boys.

I sat up and watched the first Q and then taped the game and watched it Sunday, but I would've loved to sit up and watch all of it instead of Driven which is a second hand attempt at Days of Thunder.


That's my rant

ps: I agree with Sean, besides Chris Johnson our boys did well.

Its worse if your DVD thingy is not a recorder and your VCR has given up. Mind you, its not really something to get riled about.
FFC had a replay the next day. This hybrid game is funny. Amanufactured thing which will always have a curiosity value. It was funny seeing our guys in a different code. They did will, especially O'Keefe.

Thanks for the tip. Managed to catch a 'broadcast' last night. The Aussies did seem overly aggro. Johnson's head high did look vicious because he dived...and he also had the 'Willo grimace' going on.

The poor milkman really didn't seem up for the physical stuff. Doesn't help when you've got to make up 36 odd points and the scoreboard isn't ticking over your way.
