If I am not mistaken he played for the Victoria Shamrocks for a few seasons a while back..  One of the better players to play the game.  I'll bet he has great stories.

Dont back - lay the horses, its the only way to make money from racing. Contact me if you are interested. The favourite, Dabbers Ridge, will NOT win the 3.20

No it isnt.\n\nBut we do play Lawn Bowls wich is about as close as you can get to Curling without having ice or sweepers.  \n\nTo see Lawn Bowels played try to catch it on broadcasts of the upcoming Commonwealth games mid MARCH from Melbourne.

Nothing is officailly declared as biggest six ever.\n\nDenis Lindsay believed to have hit the biggest 6 ever at the Wanderers. It cleared the main stand and landed in Corlett Drive.\n\nBut Many say that Afridi has hit six which went around 50 meteres past the boundary. This six is considered to be the biggest or longest six ever.

I think the AFL has a contract with the MCG to always hold Grand Final there but as more non-Victorian teams keep winning it will have to change in future.... I hope! Go Swannies!!

The Australian wonderhorse PharLap would have beaten them both, even hardened US racing men placed him above Man O War after he won the Agua Caliente Hcp the richest race in the world at that time on a limited preperation and with a hoof injury and his first run on dirt after a long sea voyage, sadly he died after this race more than likely from poison used to spray the oranges in his paddock,to this day some still insist the mafia poisoned him.with over 20 group 1 race victories to his name PharLap was the greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nGoogle him 2 read about his carreer im sure u will be impressed.

Glen Boss is by far and wide the best big race jockey in Australia and in my opinion has a bit on the current jockeys riding, D Beadman wins premierships but when it comes to the Group 1s no one is near Bossy and his Group 1 tally for the past few seasons will go to prove that beyond a doubt. Oliver will be the only 1 to give boss any cometititions in the group 1 races when he is back from injury.

Setanta O'hailpin has played two senior games for Carlton, and currently plays for the feeder team Northern Bullants in the VFL.  He's going OK but is still raw with his footy ability.\n\nBrother Aisake plays also for the Northern Bullants - currently in their reserves team.  Is taking time to develop and is a long term prospect at Carlton.\n\nThe most established current Irish player is star backman Tadgh Kennelly of the Swans who's won a premiership last year and played 105 games.\n\nColm Begley is a 19 year-old playing his first season of AFL with Brisbane's reserves team and Brendan Quigley has returned to Ireland with home sickness after being here earlier this year.\n\nThe best known Irish player in the history of the AFL is brownlow medallist Jim Stynes.
