Aussies humiliated as Ireland take huge lead into Game 2

I agree with most of your points Bret but the mark is hard to adjust to. I played Footy in WA a long time ago and also back in Ireland when the AFLI started and I found the mark a lot harder to get used to than the ball. I think the Irish guys would get used to the ball fairly quickly but then the tackle and the mark would have to go to balance it up. In reality both games are very similar, ie if you play centre half back in one and were to play centre half back in the other you would know how to play it as the ball would be coming from similar angles, you would have the same options when you get the ball(run, handpass or kick) and you would have to defend in a similar style.

By the way the post was on the 'Hogandstand' web site, I think you should reply as it will certinly rouse some debate.

I just wandered over and was tempted but I don't think I've got the time or energy to launch into a big blue over on another site.
