When was the jersey changed last, was it at the start of the 2018 League? It doesn't seem that long ago.

Mayo's commitment to providing drama to the GAA is outstanding. Should get some sort of special Scor award.

Ah stop. I'm delighted it's back, I find it very interesting and entertaining. Wouldn't it be great to see David Clifford, Sean O'Shea and the rest of our best players representing Ireland and showing what they can do against the best professionals Australia have to offer. It is nowhere near as rough as it once was so I wouldn't be worried about that. And if it's burnout you'd be worried about I would be happy out if PK gave the players involved the first few games of the league off.

Also Mark O'Connor would surely be involved with Ireland. I'd love too see him in action with a round ball again!

Its it a lucky break that the new 20 yard mark has been introduced to GAA!
Anyone think an oval ball would be good in GAA?

I think this is ridiculous. This is giving a special sense of connection to the AFL. Then we wonder why our young players are prepared to give up their lives for a limited chance to pursue a career in that sport.
As I have said before I think that if, after getting man of the match in the minor AIF Mark O'Conner went to Munster Rugby and said this is my college and inter county CV and I would like to give rugby a try for the next 3 years to see how it goes, I will leave my college and only see my family once or twice a year to make sure I succeed, he would have a great chance of succeeding in a position between no 11 and no 15 or maybe no 6 to no 8. Actually some ex rugby internationals have written that the IRFU should have a policy regarding talented GAA players. But that connection is not there with rugby.
Yet here we are fostering such a connection with the wolf in sheep's clothing, the very association that does not respect the principles of the GAA. Becaues of the activities of the GAA young players almost see it as the professional version of Gaelic football.

As I have said before the next move will be the introduction of the oval ball.

I'm a bit confused by what is being said. Would it have been acceptable for him to play rugby but not AFL? End result is the same surely, no GAA. Also, it is the individual's choice and is their future. Plenty of young people leave this country to make a life for themselves in Australia without the option of playing professionally.

Nobody begrudges any young footballer trying to better himself as a professional athlete. That is not the central point of this discussion. The central point is that there is resentment , by me at least at some of our brightest and best being poached and our governing body facilitating this exercise by being party to arranging these jamborees with the AFL thus providing a shop window for would be plunderers. In other words the GAA body is unwittingly acting as a recruitment agent for the AFL.

A man can play whatever he wants; it's a free country. The point being made relates to the GAA fostering a relationship with Aussie rules while the latter is actively poaching our finest. There's no GAA/Rugby love-in taking place.

If this exercise was repeated at underage then I would agree with the sentiment that it is to progress our best players to AFL. But is any AFL team realistically going to sign up David Moran or Paul Geaney? How about Aiden O'Se or Cillian O'Connor or Lee Keegan? Conor McManus, Con O'Callaghan, Paul Mannion or Brian Fenton? I could go on but the best players in this country are already in there prime and wouldn't be able to transfer codes at the drop of a hat. Mark O'Connor and Stefan Okunbar hadn't made a senior appearance for Kerry when they had moved. They are targeting players at a young age so a senior match should be the least of our concerns.
In relation to younger players, if the GAA could provide for these players in the same way, no one would be going. At least they are supporting the lads who want to go and showcasing them so that they may better themselves in the long run. It might be detrimental to the fans but it's for the benefit of the players and I can't be mad at that.

I know many posters here couldn't care less but.
The Club Players Association announced today that they are withdrawing from the Calendar Review Taskforce.
They say they the process has been designed to ensure the current status quo remains an cannot put their names to such a compromosed document.
They have published the full statement and proposals they made to the Taskforce since June.

By Micil Glennon RTÉ Sport Journalist
The International Rules series is a "golden goose" for the AFL to the detriment of Gaelic football, believes Tomás Ó Sé.
Yesterday the GAA announced that it had agreed two series with their Australian counterparts for Tests in 2020 in Ireland and 2022 Down Under.
The last game was played in Australia in 2017.
It is a series that seems to exit in a constant state of flux with interest levels dropping and rising among players, administrators and fans since its inception in 1984.
However, Ó Sé, who played in the 2002 and 2005 games, believes that the main incentive for the Aussies is to scout for football talent.
"We are an amateur sport, these lads are after falling on the perfect golden goose here," the five-time All-Ireland winner told the RTÉ GAA podcast.
"It worth everything to them because you can get a Tadhg Kenneally [Kerry and Sydney Swans], a Jim Stynes [Melbourne], there are so many examples.
"I do not get how we are going over and putting our best on show and allowing them a free pass to come over and pluck our players."
Tomás Ó Sé in Melbourne in 2005 Ó Sé said that seeing former Kerry underage star Mark O’Connor excel for Geelong made him proud of the former Dingle player but that it also brought home the reality that the International Rules series - during which the AFL hold combine trials in Ireland – can result in future stars of the GAA being lost to the game.
"People think I personally have a problem with Mark O’Connor going over, I don’t," he added.
"It’s an opportunity of a lifetime but it just irritates me 'cos I know I can’t do anything about it.
"Whatever about Kerry, they will always have players coming through but it’s an easy option for a guy who is an up-and-coming talent in Carlow or Waterford or wherever.
"They need these players. So he’s with club all his life and these guys come over, pluck him, gone.
"It’s a perfect scenario for the Aussie Rules guys: they’re coming over, trip for the lads, ‘we’ll get our scouts in, there’ll be no issue, we’ll get on with the GAA’, they leave the country, the club is after losing a young fella.
"It’s not about the young fella doing wrong, he’s not. He’s following a dream of professional sport.
"But I saw clips of Mark O’Connor. Imagine what he could do for Kerry? I’m proud of the lad, he’s doing brilliantly over there.
"We make it far too easy, they contribute nothing to our society or our games, nothing."
Ó Sé was also of the opinion that there could be some sort of compensation available for clubs that lose potential stars.
"We are dealing with a professional outfit here. Let them fork out," he said.
"If they are working so well organising these Tests [then] what would it mean to the likes of Dingle or whatever club to get a few bob to put towards a new building?
"Everyone saying you're representing your country and I get that but it wasn't with a GAA team. I couldn’t buy into it the same way I’d buy into a Kerry team.
"It actually pisses me off the way the whole thing works. This is fairly ironic since I thoroughly enjoyed my time out in Melbourne.
"It was a junket, it was a great trip."

The various Kerry managements could do worse than to let it be known that for any young player flirting with the AFL, be it attending combines or whatever, there's no hard feelings, good luck and all that but it will be regarded as a lack of commitment to the Kerry cause. Not to say that any young lad owes Kerry anything but if it's a choice between grooming a fella who'll kill for the jersey and someone who might not be around down the line, I know who I'm going for.

If DC & SOS had followed MOC to AFL the soul would have been ripped out of the Kerry team for the next decade..............
