Why is Australia so bad?

Why is Australia so bad?

We are usually better in the 2nd half after getting use to it

But pretty much they are much more experienced with the round ball and the rules and I think care about it more

[ossie85]

Poor skills, poor tactics

Pretty much. Like, I doubt someone like Buddy would care in the slightest? (He did play or is in the team, right? Didn't watch it.)

He did, the side took it relatively seriously but in the end the Irish team were obviously a class above

I really think the round ball would have a lot to do with it.

yeah just watched it, they read it in the air much better and we kicked over the top way too much and it just skidded out of bounds

[Master Q]

I decided not to wake up at 6 and just watch it at noon on Fox Footy.

Stopped watching after the first quarter. Usually I find those games entertaining but just got so bored.

Why didn't Australia play to their strengths? Just run and gun the ball down the field...

[Ziplock]

we  should play half a game with the round ball and half with an oval :P

[My Chumps]

We were good in the second half :P

We kind of got used to the round ball and were heaps better with it late in the game. If Motlop didn't miss that goal from like a meter out in the last quarter it would've been back to 2 points. I think we can make up the margin, we'll be better next time.

our indigenous players represent 10% of the AFL population... so statistically speaking, there wouldn't be as many good ones as non- indigenous.

Haha but realistically that's how it came out. There are more white people in US, but the black population excel in basketball?

Are you trying to be a flowering spaz or did it just turn out that way?

They're taking 10% of the AFL population.

Not taking 10% of the Australian population

There might be more whites in America but there's more African Americans playing basketball. Your argument is totally flowering stupid.

I find it hilarious when people are being unintentionally racist :P

I'm not racist, but.....
