Just discovered today the "AFL International Cup" is on, and NZ is in the Grand Final.
Anybody been following it? Even aware of it?it gets a bit of a mention on sports radio in melb ,
From what i can gather ( correct me if im wrong ) nz have been the most successful team in these tournaments
Yeah, to my understanding NZ & Papua New Guinea are the 2 top-tier sides.

This has nothing to do with anything,
But what we are talking about kinda reminded me ,
I once had a conversation with the late great Jim Stynes ( Irish Gaelic footballer converted afl great ruckman )
When he found out I was a kiwi that followed rugby he was pretty interested, played a bit of lock growing up in Ireland. Told me as a junior he toured nz in a Gaelic football team and played against a nz junior Gaelic football team that had zin Zan Brooke in it .
His knowledge of the abs was really good , really surprised me . -

I've got this fucking flu so fell asleep with swannies winning handily. Heck of a game eh? Must have been wetter than it looked judging by the number of fumbles
Was a good game Nick. Enjoyed it ... but not the result
Everything, fucking EVERYTHING, fell for the Swans in the first qtr. Crows couldn't catch a fucking cold.
Thought at 4 goals down we're screwed. Got out to 5 ...
To come back and lead was awesome.
But jeez we missed some chances to put you bastards away. Hit the post at least twice. Tex missed a sitter. 2 or 3 other chances just missed
But no use whinging ...
Great goal by Buddy

Tickets to the Geelong v Richmond final at the g went on sale this morning and sold out in an hour .

@kiwiinmelb We made the error of leading the ladies get the tickets. We needed 8 although my mate can get 5 as a member tomorrow. I checked a flurry of facebook group messages that went like:
'I've got some, which category should we get?'
'Get category 5'
'ok I will let those go'
'oh no, I can't get 8 anymore'
'Hey I can, is this area ok?'
'oh wait no its gone now'
'where should we sit?, I have no idea which seats to select!'
'oh, I can't get 8 seats now, so stressful'
'I can get 6!, hangon I'll let them go and see if I can get 8 again'
'huh can't get any now..weird!'At this point I completely lost my shit, jumped straight on and grabbed 3 single tickets and a pair, figure I can offload onto viagogo if people are too hung up about sitting alone.
Lesson learned.

Good guys get a week off and a home prelim.
Made it to 3QT and we were cruising it.
Hopefully Rory Sloane comes back (didn't think recovery from appendectomy would be that quick but given they were hopeful for last night two weeks he should be killing it).
A sliver of nearly a thought that maybe we can make the GF if we get lucky ...

Isn't Sloane out with an ACL?
