Seniors List & Aust vs Ireland Match

[gossipcom]

Okay really dumb question here but it's late so hopefully I'll be forgiven.

Since the season has come to an end I was just wondering does anyone know what the number of players on the seniors list has to be when the cutoff date is?

My brain's left me for the night and I couldn't remember what the no was.

Also anyone know if there are any other definite retirements apart from Cressa?

It's more just a query not as to who's in line for trading, etc.

Also regarding the Australia vs Ireland International matches are both being played in Melbourne or one interstate?

Thanks.

Not sure on the senior lists, but IIRC one IR game will be played in Perth, the other in Melbourne.

I think one is being played in Perth.

I'd love the AFL to have the guts to play one in Sydney in the not too distant future. If the Swans can stay ultra-competitive for the next couple of years, maybe we'll get one in 2005. With a large ex-pat Irish contingent in the city, the atmosphere would be great if they could publicise it enough.

I'd like to see a game in Sydney too. Promote the game right and you would get a good Irish expat rollup. Tadhg would be a great one to use ; he's got connections to both teams and he presents well
