[edit] Irish Origins ?

This was mentioned in the Australian rules football article.

a word possibly derived from the Irish (Gaelic) word "geansaí" meaning "sweater"

I deleted it as there were no citations and it appears to be false etymology - anyone able to back this up or maybe mention it in this article instead ? --Rulesfan (talk) 22:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Many of the sentences in this article seem to be taken verbatim or nearly verbatim from the cited references. E.g., for citation 4, only four words in the paragraph appear to be original. These sections probably should be paraphrased. Dtremit (talk) 17:01, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
