Australia have named their 33-man squad for the upcoming International Rules series.

The first test will be in Breffni Park, Cavan on October 19th with the second at Croke Park a week later.

Despite being at the centre of a massive doping scandal that has seen them booted out of the AFL Finals, Essendon are the best represented club with five players.

Last night Rohan Connolly of The Age delved into the doping scandal on Off The Ball and you can listen back here.

The squad will be cut to a touring party of 21 after the AFL Grand Final. The squad is made up entirely of indigenous players and you can listen back to an interesting interview with Connolly which details the role played by Aborigine and other indigenous people in the AFL here.
