Fixture Pre-Season game in India

[eDPS]

 

[Doss]

Not a long distance, Zaka says.

Only a ten hour flight!

Don't mind us doing this in the pre-season though.

 

[DERO]

I like the fact that Zaka is talking about next year.

 

[eth-dog]

Don't mind it. Especially if we gear up to host an in-season game there in 2019-2020.

 

[Loonerty]

Let's just not make this the unfortunate series of events that was Port's venture to China.

 

[rumply]

Play jlt's on moon for all I care, but as these things go, India makes more sense to me than China, lots of sports lovers there much more likely to have had some exposure to Afl.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Not a fan of this idea

 

[Runk]

Pre-Season is the key here.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

I like that we're doing the needful

 

[Lance Uppercut]

this is very stirring stuff for our two Indian players:

Ben McNeice and Alex Morgan

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Maybe India can adopt the game as a way to keep their cricketers fit?

India makes a lot of sense for reasons mentioned here but I also think they should promote it as the game originally created to keep cricketers fit over winter as it will get more attention. They will also have many appropriately sized ovals with stands.

Get this guy to promote the game

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Get this guy to promote the game

Both times I've been to Inida it's Ricky Ponting they all talk about and while I think Ponting is a bit of a dick he also loves AFL.

 

[boncer34]

Pre-season no worries.

Regular season? Nah.

Isn't Punter a North supporter? And a Tasmanian to boot.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Isn't Punter a North supporter? And a Tasmanian to boot.

He is but I'm sure AFL $$$ would help him promote it.

I can't think of any massively followed cricketers in India that are Essendon or Adelaide supporters.

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli

I thought he was Richmond.

 

[boncer34]

I thought he was Richmond.

I think $$ can convince him to tell how he cheered us on as a child watching the 2000 Grand Final and fell in love with the game then.

Flags are already flying. Pics taken in January 2017, near Thanjavur in the south. There were thousands of black and red flags lining the roads in advance of the forthcoming election in Tamil Nadu. Sure the ruling party would not mind Essendon re-using their flags for the pre-season game.

 

[Rack Watts]

As long as it's not Wangaratta, I don't care where it is.

 

[Pweter]

I like that we're doing the needful

Brilliant!

 

[JayJ20]

Essendon to bail out last minute due to the weather, leaving Adelaide to play a fancy intraclub match in India

 

[Howard Moon]

Only if we do a rocky style training montage where we Bollywood dance through pack type situations
