Ban Irish players for life from the GAA that play Australian Rules

[Stay goalside of your man]

Although I am very proud that many Irish players are able to take to Australian game I think it is to the detriment of the GAA that these players are gone from our games.
Would it work to ban players for life from the GAA for taking part in any trial games etc for the Australian game?
This problem is going to get worse as and more players will be poached.
The GAA is never going to get anything back in return for these players so why not try and make it hard for them to go in the first place.
I know this is extreme and would never work in practice, but I still feel something has to be done to stop it.

Stop trying to be controversial

yeah good idea and ban anyone that has rugby or soccer trials aswell.  Sure why not revert back to the way it was years ago and ban people that go to watch soccer or rugby being played.

or maybe we could start rewarding the players monetarily!!

[magpie seanie]

ban anyone that has rugby or soccer trials aswell

No - its only rugby and soccer that are allowed ban lads from playing other sports nowadays.

[Stay goalside of your man]

In the old days when people played soccer and rugby they where not lost to the game.
It kept them fit during the winter, I never had a problem with that.
Fair play to lads for having a go at the Austrialion game but do you think we should just let them go without a fight as is happening now

i'd take their passports off them and never let them in to the country again ,the cheek of them trying to make a living playing professional sport

SGOYM - did you think logically before you started this thread?
It's the 21st century & you want to ban someone who TRIES to get a career in a professional sport.
What sort of f**king nitwit are you?

You say the GAA are never going to get anything back in return - what are the players getting in return?

Stupidest suggestion of the week 

[Drumanee 1]

if you had such a stupid rule that would have ruled out dermot mcnicholl,niall buckley,antony tohill,colin corkery to name a few,who would have suffered most?the gaa

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Think this fella is on the wind up.
Regarding the suggestion, IMO its a tad harsh. 
In reality how many players have we lost to Aussie rules recently - 6 possibly 7?
