QuoteNow that things have died down a bit anybody else feel that the Aussies underlined how ordinary we are at our national game

Mike, that was simply the term I used,as the most popular and most widely played game in the country it's not an entirely inappropriate term. However, if you have any opinions on the state of coaching in the GAA I'm all ears.The point I was making is that we may being selling both football and hurling,the players and supporters short if we aren't maximising our potential and the IR would suggest to me we are not.

My opinions

1) The Aussies have improved exponentially over the last few years. This shouldnt be surprising. They are professional atheletes and will pick things
up very quickly once they apply themselves.
2) I think you will find that your skill levels decrease in direct proportion to how likely you think your head is about to be seperated
from your shoulders.
