Gaelic football fared better in the exchange of ideas. The quick free from the hands extended to line-balls and is now part of the GAA repertoire. There has been some speculation about a revival of the international series, which won’t have been played for eight years by the time 2025 rolls along but with the revised calendar in Ireland and the increase in competitor clubs in the AFL, it is difficult to see how it could be feasible.
In the FRC’s favour, however, is the near consensus that something needs to be done about football. That may influence the mood of congress to be bold in assessing solutions.
