Replying To Leitrim_12: "10k? Fair play, lad! One of the biggest crowds in recent years at a Leitrim Senior Final was back in 2018, when Mohill played Aughawillan in front of close to 4,000 people. If there are 3,000 at Páirc Seán tomorrow, I'd say they'll be doing well! -" Are you actually taking his posts seriously?
Genuine question....

Replying To FullOfPorter: "While true for most of the players playing there will be some young lads that will be put on show. For arguments sake, if the mutant borefest rules game had been still an annual thing, it is highly likely Finbarr Roarty would have been on an Irish panel last year, the Aussies would have got a really good idea how suited he is to the game. As it happens they went after him anyway. Would Oisin Mullin gave been 22 when he left for AFL? He was YPOTY and would definitely have made an Irish panel. There are a few in that 19-22 age bracket that could potentially be on an Irish panel if there was a game this year, aside from Kobe McDonald and Roarty this year you had the likes of Charlie McMorrow and Dara McDonnell who may have got called up.
The big question that has to be asked is why the Aussies are so keen to get this back up and running. On the face of it why would a professional game in a niche sport restricted to Australia be so eager to get back playing a mixed rules game with an amateur niche sport restricted to Ireland? What is in it for them, it can't be a huge money spinner, there's no global tv rights to be sold and millions wanting to see it, sponsorship revenue would be small beans as well.
I think they see this as a networking strategy for recruitment. Yes the shop window for young lads in the games is small but it is also an advertising board for young lads watching the games, it also gives the Aussies access to players and people on the GAA scene when they are over, no doubt there'll be functions and all that goes with that. They might even see it as a way to recruit scouts and get more eyes on the ground here. Getting Irish lads over is a shot to nothing for them, even if they only find a success in one in four, they're all categorised as Category B rookies. The GAA need to be very wary, there's a major power imbalance and if Kobe wins the award this year, that means 3 YPOTY will have been lost in the space of 4 or 5 years. That is the top up and coming talent." The whole international rules idea is farce to begin with, amateur sports men vs professional. I wouldn't begrudge any young guy an opportunity to play professionally in Australia whatsoever but the GAA should not be facilitating this silly little charade.

Replying To Kew: "That usually came up when the Aussies started beating up the Irish players. It was just explaining why the Aussies were stronger and able to bully the Irish lads." Indeed. They were bigger and stronger. Training as full time professionals for a game where size was more important. The likes of Anthony Tohill were able to hold his own, but some others got a doing over.

Replying To WonTon5: "With all the talk of the Minor A teams, St James have gone about their business quietly in B. And I believe they are made up of mostly u16 players. Impressive 11 point win today in Connaught B championship. Don't know many of their players but there seems to be a lot of talent there." Shouldn't St James's be in the Minor A ?

Connacht U17 B Club Championship Quarter final St. Patrick's Dromahair 4-10 (22) St. James' 3-24 (33)" Not a bad showing from st Mary's, have we won any games at this level in connacht? Our record at adult level bar kiltubrid in 2005 (that was a solid team) is abysmal but hopefully a few kinder draws combined with smaller more competitive championships will improve our fortunes in the coming years

These are where a Connacht could be won soon. Thought Allen Gaels should've done better last year in Connacht Intermediate seeing as they wiped the floor with everyone in Leitrim. The Junior A final looks strong enough this year, both are Intermediate level teams really.

Replying To Kew: "Yes. I for one never understood why the gaa out amateurs in harms way with the Aussies having a field day beating them up with no fines or penalties. Colm cooper was the only man with a bit of common sense to say no. Legally I'm suprised you can even play a game against professionals" The old professionals get paid while the amateurs don't can be hard to grasp...

I hope it never returns tbh.
