    This will keep a few jersey wearers down in the Cock and Bull happy!

    This is brilliant.

    I'm hoping to be over there full time soon after being over for a year previously, and this is great news.

    Any of my AFL paying Aussie mates love the GAA and are always fascinated by it. Its gonna be great craic watching the hurling with them.

    Should be a good thing if the international rules games head down under? Would be good publicity?

    I would also imagine that some AFL fans might tune in to watch the football?

    I find that it's easy enough to settle into AFL as a spectator sport coming from Ireland. I went to a few game when I was down under, and bar one or two small rules, it was very easy to follow.

    Hopefully they'll catch on to hurling, want to be the best at it, and take it up! Don't mind yer cricket!

    Ad breaks every time there is a break in play? Would actually ruin the enjoyment of the game

    Given that it will be on in wee hours of morning you'd hope they cut back on ads, hard to know with Ch7 though. They'll probably stick it on one of digital channels like 7mate so viewership/advertising revenue won't be huge for them.

    be careful what you wish for! A hurl will be called a sticko, the ball will get called a pucko, they'll stick in two extra posts for behinds, there'll be four quarters and there's a pretty good chance it will get branded here as gealic hockey!
