Decent squad.

Don’t have any interest really. Will likely watch it on tv but haven’t made plans to go.

When I was younger I used to watch it a lot. I think the interest was a lot higher then. The games had a lot of spite too.

Hard to get interested when the season has been over for 6 weeks now, and for some supporters over 2 months.. it's cricket season now.

Yeah if it was a week after the gf that would be a better time to have it. Even if it means teams from the final four or something can’t play.

I remember going to Footy Park and watching a match. The Irish threatened to pull out of the series for good because of the thuggery Australia continually played with. Since then it's been no good lol!

You could give me free tickets and the first half dozen beers free and I still don’t reckon I bother going.

The season is over......... let it go!

I actually like the game, and proper Gaelic football, so I'll probably watch it on TV.
But even with a free ticket I'm not sure I'd bother to drive down.
I can get free corporate box access to matches Alberton Oval via an old friend, but so far have never drummed up enough interest to make the trek.

Asked a mate if he'd like to come to a corporate box with me on Sunday afternoon - free food & beer

"Nah.......... rather go to "Grab a Granny" at the Hood" :lol:
