Aussies won 56-46.

Decent game in the end. It makes a difference when the best players are playing IR and taking it seriously. Different game too to past IR series in that it was the Aussies who dominated with better skills for the first quarter and a half before the Irish came back in the second half. 

The AFL will be happy too that Subiaco was packed out. Interesting to see what the tv ratings are.

bring back SOO and stuff this made up fake 'game' off.

Love the fact they'll be playing in New York next year  ::)  Yanks don't even know our game let alone this one, would love to hear the salesman trying to explain what that game is trying to promote "ahh its ahh not actually the game we play, we play with a different shaped ball on a different pitch and don't have a showcase game like most other codes so we made up this BS hybrid game with the Irish"

Bring back SOO, Vic, SA and WA play each other once so 2 games each. Swap home vs away year on year. Would much rather watch the best of the best playing against each other playing our game not this BS hybrid game
