Number One ticket holder is also the Prime Minister ...
Coach is also the Australian Coach ...

Wow !! We are moving up in this world :p


I wonder if this gives him greater bargaining power for his new contract ??

Congrats to Rocket - yes, could be a bargaining tool at contract time! ;)

A sense of irony about it being announced on 17 March.

Where is the irony TCD?. That it is St Patricks day today does not make Rocket's appointment as IRL coach ironic.

Maybe in Alanis Morrissette's mind it does :)

Perhaps "appropriate" is the word you were looking for!

How could it be?

With Rocket as the International Rules coach, would that help deflect attention if he happened to leave at the end of the year?

(Don't think this would happen, but I love my conspiracy theories, me…)

I think you're digging a bit too deep on this one, I can't see Eade giving the whole concept much thought until after the season ends. At the end of the day he is smart enough to know that coaching an AFL side is his livelihood and this is simply a novelty on the side, I'm sure 100% of his focus will be on the dogs first and foremost.

Good reward for a great Coach. The premiership coach representing Australia:)

Not sure yet, but it could. It is going to take up a bit of his time and energy.

Do we still play international rules?

More importantly does anyone care?
Good for Rocket, but it could be the Australian Men's Volleyball team for all I care. At least that's an actual sport.
