We love the Yanks, apparently.
Hopefully we can pull a good rookie or two.

And Yanks love Essendon.
Well, a few do anyway :)
Do you think you could beat them ???????????????

Oh stop, you're killing me....possibly the funniest post I've EVER read..
It was just genius. I mean, you made an observation that everyone else has already made and you made it 3 weeks after everyone else and then attached it to the end of this thread. The funniest thing is that it had nothing to do with the original post.
Just pure genius! You should join the stand up circuit..that kind of ascerbic wit is something I haven't seen since Rove McManus...
Oh dear......*pantsless wipes tears from eyes*...stop it!

Reminds me of a stewie-type tangent on the family guy, when that girl he was singing with said he was "the weakest link".
Either way bring on the Yanks, international exposure is good for the game.

Anybody know how I'd go about where they would stay and where they would train? Windy Hill?
It'd be SWEET if they staged some of the IC matches there. Last time they played some at Vic Park and Junction Oval.
Guess I could call the club.

Information regarding the Americans' arrangements is posted on the site below as it becomes available. It also has general footy info from across the US.

Thanks for that.
USFooty and the IAFC sites have both had the fixtures up for some time, but without venues. Looks like they're behind.
