    Now we are motoring,get it down to 12 going into the last quarter and we could rattle them yet

    Your skills are always going to look bad when you're play against guys who are bigger, faster, stronger than you. The fact that they are also brilliant sportsmen means they're going to be able to turn their hand to the round ball easily. They have so much time and such physical superiority it's easy to pick out passes etc. Like a senior GAA team taking on a minor team.

    Very unsurprising tbh.

    Physicality has very little to do with this imo. I'd say fitness has a part to play alright but the Aussies are tearing us apart not with lung busting runs or crashing through tackles. They're playing around us.

    For Ireland? Well i've seen compromise rules games where they were under far more pressure physically from the Aussies and still produced a performance. As one poster has said, their performance reeks of poor mindset or poor preparation. Thats the difference for me.

    Moving the ball at pace through the middle before it gets crowded making a huge difference


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭Dr Turk Turkelton


    The ball is Different to an O'Neills ball in fairness. So there is a bit of an adjustment needed.

    It's a hell of a lot different from an Aussie rules ball as well!

    What a score. Have them rattled now


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭CurryFlavoured


    Much better. Fletchers very dodgy under the high ball, he'll fumble one to a forward yet.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,137 ✭✭✭TimRiggins


    Ross Munnelly what a score.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,845 ✭✭✭Hidalgo


    Fackin outstanding over
    Again Kevin McLoughlin with the quick soccer style pass allowing the space


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,542 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Would rather win this,don't care about friendlies.

    Irony!

    Neil McGee has really stepped it up in the second half.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭CurryFlavoured


    Far better support play and hand passing. The craic we were at before where we forced our forwards into 50/50s for long balls was suicide. It's a game now, another goal probably needed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 555 ✭✭✭Smartly Dressed


    Those forwards can score from anywhere. In the first half they couldn't score from in front of the posts. The deficit from the 1st quarter is just too big to overcome.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭CurryFlavoured


    The ball definitely looked out for the goal btw.


  • Registered Users Posts: 677 ✭✭✭Cheese Wagstaff


    We're in it now, McManus and Aidan Walsh doing really well. Considering how turgid we were for the first half, we could still sneak this which would be incredible.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,193 ✭✭✭✭Kerrydude1981


    As Ger Loughnane said we are going to do it



  • Registered Users Posts: 10,363 ✭✭✭✭DDC1990


    Great 3rd Q from Moran, McLoughlin, McManus, Donnelly and a top class score from McKernan.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,241 ✭✭✭twinytwo


    i think we left at least 2 goals out there in the 3rd Q they need to more clinical around goal. I mean if you flatten the keeper you should be able to put it in the net.....


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,845 ✭✭✭Hidalgo


    Even if the gap cant be overtaken at least its became a real contest
    It looked a dead duck for the future of the series for long periods


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭iDave


    How can lads from Roscommon Laois Derry Down etc compete with their version of the All Stars. Lot of these lads haven't played anything intense since June/July.
    Need more Dubs and Kerrymen out there.

    Handier sized players have posed them bigger problems


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,239 ✭✭✭physioman


    They should leave Marty Duffy in oz. How he still is a ref I'll never know


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,150 ✭✭✭✭LuckyGent88


    Any idea what the attendance is? Looks like quite a big crowd in fairness.

    Looks over now as a contest though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,241 ✭✭✭twinytwo


    i still find it scandalous that inter county players can miss a set of posts that are what..20 meters wide


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭CurryFlavoured


    Pearse Hanley's been really poor.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,845 ✭✭✭Hidalgo


    Back to panic shooting


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭CurryFlavoured


    Murph hasn't looked interested. He was lucky there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,193 ✭✭✭✭Kerrydude1981


    Thats how you finish it Murphy :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,150 ✭✭✭✭LuckyGent88


    Hilarious og :)
