Kevin Sheedy’s tri-series suggestion

I've speculated before that the IR format could easily be the 'game of the 21st century'. In that, it's packaged to fit into existing stadia and is different enough to soccer, rugby U/L and American football.

Alas, the AFL is about Australian football and the IR game is way too much like the Gaelic game. Not sure that the GAA could ever get themselves into a position to push it internationally. If they were the 'professional' party in the AFL-GAA arrangement - then perhaps. The greatest danger then would be if IR was taken to the US and perhaps 'exploded' (in relative terms) over there.

Perhaps we should just focus on getting Aust Footy 9's into the Olympics or C'wealth games!!!
