Now here me out. Not every AFL players makes it to the big leagues and away to improve the smaller counties should those counties be allowed to scout AFL talent. SlasherMcGurk (Sligo) - Posts: 3 - 15/10/2016 18:15:02 1926492 Link 0 |
What are you smoking, we should look after our own players first

Michael dufficy was part of the Roscommon panel for a few months last year. Played few vfl games in Australia I think the reserve league over there. He was Australian born and raised and has a Roscommon father hence the reason he came over here to try geal if football for a year. Was athletic but his basic skills wernt the best.

Awfull idea how could anyone be convinced to leave a professional game played in sunshine to live and play a amateur sport that's usually played in miserable wet cold weather, if there not good enough to make it as a professional then why would any county want them here, Australia can keep there flops

if county boards and the GPA can find these players jobs they might be persuaded by the idea of playing a sport at the highest level. So you're suggesting they go from playing a sport at a professional level to working a standard full time job so they can play a sport at an amateur level??! This has to be a wind up?

We could woo them with the promise of club football in the depths of winter. Superglue (Kerry) - Posts: 1283 - 17/10/2016 10:29:38 1926835 Link 0 |

Replacing a 22-match season with the GAA flagship competition that guarantees only two matches has got to be great draw. omahant (USA) - Posts: 2535 - 18/10/2016 22:17:31 1927411 Link 0 |
how about they look after the club players who are{ supposedly }the back bone of the association and where all county players originate. There is plenty of lads at home who aren't working and would love to have a job. Bringing in more migrants for these so called jobs would be like big employers just bringing in agency workers without ever advertising for indigenous folk. Don't want to be too abrupt to your idea but it is bloody ridiculous. bulmccabe (Tyrone) - Posts: 361 - 19/10/2016 05:03:15 1927440 Link 1 |

The stupidest thing about this suggestion (which is saying something) is that 95% of AFL players wouldn't be any good at GAA. You can't just start a sport at 18 and expect to reach an elite level. realman2 (Kildare) - Posts: 464 - 19/10/2016 10:23:30 1927473 Link 0 |
