According to BF, Kingy will play against the Irish in the IR series at the end of the month.
-
There could be only one intent in playing Kingy ;) ;)

I reckon Kingy is well suited to this hybrid game.

Confirmed....
Tiger, Blue into squad
Jake Niall
October 12, 2011
BOISTEROUS pair Jake King and Mitch Robinson have been added to the Australian squad to take on the Irish in the international rules two-match series.
In a measure of how far he has progressed at Richmond over the past 12 months, the aggressive King has made the Australian squad, along with the equally robust forward/midfielder Robinson, who had a breakout year with the Blues and was among the club's best during the finals.
Hawthorn's emerging midfielder Liam Shiels also has been added to the squad, as has West Coast's revived veteran Mark Nicoski who, at 27, had his most productive season to date as a forward.
Gold Coast's impressive first-year ruckman Zac Smith and long-kicking specialist Trent McKenzie have also been called up for the Australian squad, which has a strong contingent of younger players and small- to medium-sized players, such as Carlton's Eddie Betts and Jeff Garlett.
The Australian team will be coached by former Bulldogs and Sydney coach Rodney Eade, who has joined Collingwood in a senior assistant's role.
The first international rules game is at Etihad Stadium on Friday, October 28, with the second game to be played on the Gold Coast on November 4.

Those who bagged Grigg this season can get stuffed, you can't make the international rules team without plenty of skill and talent :outtahere :outtahere :outtahere
-
I like Gaelic footy but I'm glad none of our main guns are in this. Even if players get through the IR series unscathed, it delays their preseason training and preparation for 2012.

stuff me this country is struggling.

Kingy on Ch 10 - "Let it be known I got picked before Judd, Selwood and Ablett" ;D
Kingy has been told no biffo and to keep it fair :nope.
Robbie has got the soccer skills.

Jake's reputation has now spread to Ireland. The Irish captain spent most of his interview today talking about Kingy :lol

"He returned and gave the thumbs up to Wayne Campbell as he patrols the sidelines with his knee bandaged up."

lol, theyre shockers, look like one of my trips to the beach :lol

A few egos dented in the Aussie side. They've played like they've been in holiday mode for the past 8 weeks. The Irish have smashed them not only will skill as expected but physically and with extra pace as well. The Swans will be telling the Saints thank you very much for Tommy Walsh too.
-
Like every year, this game starts off for me as some kind of quasi footy fix in the dreaded wasteland of boring Spring sport, and ends in toal frustration at our complete inability to handle the round ball.
At least in past seasons we were able to eventually wear them down with a combination of our increased fitness, and going the knuckle :lol
Tonight unfortunately we were just pathetic. I was offered a free ticket. Glad I didn't waste my time.
How exactly is this meant to be a "hybrid" game anyway? All the rules, the goalposts and system of scoring are all Irish. The one concession they could have made to the Aussies would be to let us use an oval ball. If that were the case we would've smashed them.
-
I'd like to see them play alternate quarters with oval and round balls.
-
Need a few monsters out there. These midgets are effing useless.
-
Beefcake?
-
:clapping
-
Usually the saving grace in these games is they end up close by the final quarter but tonight the Aussies were embarrassingly bad so it was totally one-sided. The only positive is if the Irish fitness has improved dramatically to consistently match it with the AFL players and these floggings start becoming the norm then maybe the AFL/GAA will twig the hybrid rules to bring in more Aussies Rules rules to even it up again. As RR said it's really just Gaelic footy with tackling and point posts.
I'd doubt they would bring in a Sherrin. The Irish wouldn't have a clue with its unpredictable bounce.

How did Grigg go and Nahas??

How did Grigg go and Nahas??
They didn't do much. Nahas kicked an 'over' and 20m out missed everything early on. I noticed occasionally now and then deep in defence. He was clean with his disposal the few times he had the ball but like Robbie didn't have any influence on the game.

Bigger players = a bigger thrashing for us. The Irish are moving the ball around a lot better by hand and foot. If our blokes concentrated on playing the ball and not playing to be tough guys all the time they might not get thrashed so easily. I like the hybrid game, there are a lot of skills involved, well, from the Irish in this last game lol
-
Bigger bodies would have at least worn down the Irish and given us a better chance at winning the 50/50 contests which we got smashed in. Too many 2nd rate AFL players meant we never had the clear athletic advantage of past series and too many newbies as well who had never kicked a round ball in their life meant the Irish knew the Aussies couldn't kick long and had to predictably try and run it through the Irish zone instead which played into their hands.

The"IDGAF" Series for the "WGAF" Cup.

Can't believe I sat down and watched it
What a debacle
Callum Ward was probably the best of the Aussies and he was harldy on the ground
Why :banghead
ANd Kingy getting hurt is the reason I am against State of origin and games like this

How can professional AFL get thrashed by part timers from Ireland - what a disgrace.

Easily Flags it called PRIDE
Our blokes didn't give a stuff while the Irish did
Simple really
-
Agree. We just weren't committed or switched on at all. Constantly out positioned and not running to support one another. I really dont think team selection had a huge impact on the outcome.
the fact that it is played with the round ball is obviously a huge disadvantage, too. Their skills are far superior.

Eade being an overrated dud that couldn't inspire a pickle to slide out of cheeseburger doesn't help

What do you do after the worst loss ever in an IR game? .............. You go to the theme parks on the Gold Coast :wallywink

Nothing to write home about from both Tiger boys. Grigg got taken to the cleaners by one of the bigger Irish forwards while Robbie was hardly on the ground :huh.
The IR series means more to the Irish. Even with the 3rd quarter "farce" with the slight biffo and all and Razor Ray going yellow card crazy and saying to an Irish player "are you deaf?!" :lol, they'll keep it going at least for the next leg in Ireland as they'll get a 70k full house at Croke Park.
-
LOL at the aussies getting shown up by a bunch of amateurs and then letting their true colors show through by reverting to cheap snipes.
What a bunch of softies

Go Ireland-stuff those ignorant,overpaid,lazyAussie turds.
Well done !!!!

Who cares

any video links?

Brad Green is an embarrassment. Glad he's not our captain!

Just saw Jake at the basketball and had a quick chat. He poised for a photo with the little fellow too. He's a genuinely nice bloke is Kingy. Seemed to be getting around on his knee without any signs of a hobble. When I asked him about it he was very positive saying the club was being very cautious but he was ready to go. Had a nice little blond hotty at his side too in the coutside box. All positive stuff :thumbsup
