Great movement from the Irish boys first up, don't understand that free to us where our number 30 (Campbell Brown, one of my sides gun players) tackled your lad on the goalline when he was without the ball.... Figured it would've gone your way, not ours.

Our number 12, Sewell (another Hawthorn player) is playing a terrific game so far.
Click to expand...

Wondered that myself. Thought either our free or just play on.

Aus 1 - 1 Ire
 
Bad turnover from Thomas there. Needs a fecking haircut too.
 
Nice mark in a good position from Cavanagh. Put it over the bar.

Aus 1 - 4 Ire.
 
Cullan too hard there. Thomas again at fault, results in another Ireland point.

Still needs a haircut.
 
1 - 5

For future reference we'll have the Aussie score first, considering we're the home side.
 
Another Aussie pass to Gallagher. Thank god.

Our fellas are leaving too many passes hanging in the air.
 
BAH fecking shocking kick there from Foley, straight to the goalie.

Haha, the one player that could run through all the defenders without much trouble just got pinged for three bounces.
 
1 - 6

Campbell wins a penalty for in the back...

Looked like good defensive footwork to me.
 
Yeah, but Gallagher stood his ground well. Had he dived it would've bobbled over the line.

Brilliant mark from Coulter, led to a behind.

1-7
 
strong mark from Coulter, passes off, the kick landed between three defenders who fudged it over the line

1 - 7
 
smooth passing from the Ire, a loose man runs off to receive the hands-off, results in a long ranged shot for a point

1 - 8
 
Dodgy fielding from Aussie 'keeper, backs worked it out.

Cavanagh with behind as 1st quarter ends.

1-9.
 
Cavanagh after the siren. Quater ends.

1 - 9

Our skills are rather poor ATM, I think we'll definitely come out harder next quater. Our players need to watch their men, we can't afford to let too many of your boys run past to receive the hands-off.
 
Major ball winners for Australia:

Selwood 10
Boyd 8
Harvey 8

Ireland could be happy with that, Boyd and Selwood aren't going to punish you with their possessions. Harvey can though, need to play tighter on him.
 
Can't decide if we are making good use of the behinds, or wasting a lot of potential overs - 1 over and 6 behinds so far.
 
Haha a classic don't argue from Brennan results in a free-kick to your ruckman.
 
feck sake Cavanagh. We had a soft sideline until you pushed. The free led to an Aussie over.

4-9.
 
Campbell scores an over, makes up for his atrocious penalty shot.

Can't give him too much space as he's rather quick and evasive.

4 - 9
 
Ire free kick in a dangerous area.

Scores an over against the breeze.

4 - 12

Bock the goalie struggling, turn over, Ire score a goal.

4 - 18
 
Ireland threatening to run away with it here.

Our Forwards need to be more accountable, your backs are running off with ease here.
 
Great interception from the big man.

Good defending from Australia to win the ball back.
 
Just completely lost my caf connection. Flock or firefox wouldn't work. Other sites loading fine.

Anyway, 7-18.

Goal was from a nice piece of play by Cavanagh, caught the ball and used his momentum to take his man out and create space.
 
Campbell with another over, been our only decent forward so far.

10 - 18
 
GREAT pass from Burgoyne, I said earlier this guy could be anything if he could be arsed, absolute talent merchant. He's a jet.

Great defending from the Ire goalie too to block what looked like a certain goal.

13 - 18
 
Brilliant save from a good Aussie goal chance, over instead.

13-18
 
Thompson scores a great over, we're getting a good run-on here.

16 - 18
 
Thompson over for Austrialia.

16-18.
Not liking this.

Aaron Kernan on for us.
 
YES!

Thompson scores another over, he's had three touches and scored two overs.

Australia take an unlikely lead.

19 - 18
