I heard that these two teams are going to have a game at the end of the season.

I don't know the details but does anybody know for sure how this is going to work?

Would it be like the International Rules setup?

If so, I would like to see Dublin smash Collingwood.

I hate Collingwood with a passion. lol

First question why do you hate collingwood?
Secondly are you the real tadhg Kennelly ?

I love Aussie rules, been watching last 5 yrs and really love it. Collingwood are my team black/white like Sligo. . I had a aussie mate when I worked in London (essendon fan) and he hated collingwood too. He said there widely disliked and I never was told WHY?

I hate Collingwood because their supporters are a group of bunch of ferals. I went to Collingwood v Sydney last year in Round 21, had the worst time ever. :O

Mainly because of their fans, seem so arrogant, I don't know why when their team are underachievers in the last 50 odd years.

But having said that, I do know some pretty cool Collingwood people though.

No, I am not Tadhg Kennelly, just a huge fan of him, and the Sydney Swans mate.

I was watching them last night and they played well. I see Tadhg is loosing the hair the we Friar tuck

C'mon the Swans

I think he has shaven his hair bald.

Thanks for the info, I dont know any collingwood fans but I am loyal and wouldnt jump ships now, I always keep an eye out for the irish lads aswell, big fan of tadhg meself, great full back for the swans and did brilliant when they won the grand final except that jig .

Tadhg Kennelly isn't our full-back mate, he plays on the half-back flank. That's usually a different role to a full-back. Our full-back is Leo Barry or Craig Bolton depending on the match up.

The Media see to have gotten total hysteria in realation to BigBad Barry who has been well behaved for a long time now.  It seems that taking the Paddys out is OK but hitting one of their own when he is not looking is bad form!!

Don't know if he was proveked by word or deed but presume the suspension will more or less balance out with the recovery from a broken wrist!!

The Western Australian and Victorian media are pretty pathetic, and certainly one tracked minded for one way or the other.

I have blown a fuse, listening to the garbage what has been said over the radio.

They will not let it go. Any other player, it wouldn't even be this big.

Now to be truthful, I consider this to be a worse action than what Barry Hall ever did.

Brodie Hollland, could have paralyzed Brett Montgomery. The hysteria in that case, wasn't that bad compared to the Barry Hall's case.

Brendan Murphy I heard is playing very well at the moment, in our reserves competition in Canberra.
If he keeps going like he is, he could very well make his debut this year.

A bee stung me on the arm when I was in France.

Huh? 

I have never branded any Australian as a thug.
Anyway, my mate once got his hand sliced with a razor blade as he ordered a drink at a bar.

NO, you might not have, so I take that back, but others did, which is why I am pissed off mate!

Do you call someone like Cathy Freeman a thug? I know, she's in a different sport, but she's far from a thug!

Brett Kirk who plays for the Sydney Swans, is a champion player, and is far from a thug.

Do you get my drift mate?

I'm 100% sure, that Hall will apologise, and will be feeling quite low about himself and what he did!

[I remember playing hurling against Belfast teams and when the ruckus broke out, we were attacked with the hurls.]

Contemplating getting  up in a few hours to watch the Collingwood game.

Stay in bed!

Lads, Hall's punch was out of order and there is not a single TV personality suggesting otherwise.  Let's leave it at that.  I remember playing hurling against Belfast teams and when the ruckus broke out, we were attacked with the hurls.

Port Adelaide are still winless for the season.  However that should change in the next few weeks as they play the Eagles.  The loss last night was bad, very bad.

What the fcuk has that got to do with anything?

People like you, like to brand Australians as thugs, so he's making a point, that your game isn't clean either. 

Tadgh, you need to relax man, Jinxy is only on the wind-up. Alot of that on this site, but it mostly in good nature.

You must admit though, it was a bit thuggish.

Dyas got his first goal today in the reserves, meat to be a goodie too.

No doubt it was a bit thuggish! I did call it stupid, if anybody cared to read what I said!

And I do not like anybody from Bigfooty!

Typical Australian. No sense of humour.

Whatever.....

[He's far from a sc**bag mate, and lay off the criminal assault charge too!]

I'll freely admit i'm not a fan of aussie rules, but that is the action of a complete sc**bag. the guy wasn't even looking and the previous jostling was minimal.

Not sure how having criminal assault on the field of play helps the attraction of any sport

He's far from a sc**bag mate, and lay off the criminal assault charge too!

It was a stupid thing to do, and it will cost him.

Typical Aussie mentality - it was criminal and in professional sport the action of a thug ! As for you simply saying it will cost him a suspension shows how lightly you take this behaviour and how beating up the Irish was nothing only a bit of fun !

OM would disagree,we see incidents like that at every level of Football in our country,Would you agree that the goings on in the Laois under 21 football championship and the incidents of Joe Canning being assaulted with Portumna a year or two ago are typical of the Irish sporting mentality?
In contact games like GAA and Aussie Rules,there will always be that thuggish mentality there,Its not right just to label all Aussies the same just because a few of their IR team acted like scumbags and the actions of Barry Hall etc.

TKennelly
Belated welcome to the board,im a big fan of aussie rules, really gotten into it in the last year or two.

Thanks mate for the welcome. I agree with what you said, why brandish a whole country because of a minority? It's stupid!


And Jinxy, I know you from bigfooty (I think)

[Edited by Mod3]. I class that a racist remark.

I'm pissed off that he did it.
As a Sydney Swans supporter, I ask why?

He didn't really had to do it, when we were playing so well!

We play the top team next week against Geelong, and it may
very well hurt us.

4 weeks mininum, and on top of that, he has a broken wrist. :O

But, we have some younger guys like, Heath Grundy and the
experience of Nick Davis, to come back into the side.

I thoroughly enjoyed that game last night.  I'm glad the Dogs won but will take my hat off to the Bombers for the performance in the third and fourth quarters.  Had they not lost McVey they might have sneaked it.  Having said that it is great to see men like Murphy, Johnson and Scott West getting a bit of time in the sun.  And what can you say about Aker?  The man is some operator.  I am equally impressed by young Perth boy Paddy Ryder for the Bombers.  That mark in the the fourth quarter was pretty neat and Alwyn Davey (brother of Melbourne rocket, Aaron-Tiwi Island boys I think) and Lovett and Lovett-Murray will put the fear of God up the Irish if/when the international rules series starts again. 

Why was Matt Lloyd not playing? 
A mate is in Melbourne and will be at the Pies-Blues game today.  He's a die-hard Eagles fan but, like the rest of the country, will be roaring for the Blues today.  It'll be interesting to see how Marty Clarke performs.  I have a feeling he was brought in as this is seen as an easy game for the Pies and they will want to give him more time exposure on the paddock.

Freo and the Tigers will be an awkward one I feel although a few of the big men have been brought back in by Freo.  Tarrant, Solomon and McPharlin will make a huge difference physically, I just hope Tarrant finds his kicking feet.  We've been waiting a year.

You must mean Scott Welsh, Scott West didn't play mate. lol

Matthew Lloyd, I think suffered a hamstring injury during the week mate apparently.
