Aussie star blames Coppers for dismal International Rules showing

And now, according to Kelly, some of his team-mates are so bewitched by its charms that they’re only interested in representing their country if it involves a chance to get their boogie on in the Dublin hotspot.
Speaking to the Geelong Advertiser, Kelly admitted that the AFL’s best stars, many of whom didn’t feature in this year’s tests, were more likely to make themselves available for the series in 2013.
