"Ruling the World". A 60 Minutes piece on Aussie Rules spreading internationally

[VikingSven]

A fantastic wrap from 60 Minutes on the growth of the game in Australia and abroad.

60 Minutes - "Ruling the World"

 

[Darkness Falls]

I watched it last night. I honestly think that in 20 years time, we will see teams from around the world playing for the AFL World Cup (at the MCG)

I cringed watching that.

When I get back to Australia, I'm not going to bother buying a TV.

A very welcome piece of exposure for AR OS .
A bit strange coming from ch 9 .
Done in the typical ch 9 superficial way - much like when they showed The Sydney Swans "arrival" in Sydney - 90% of the show was about Warrick Capper's shorts .

My understanding was the International players are not taking up a space on the list. every team has 44? + 3 or 4 international development player spots independant from the main list .

You're correct, but I wasn't being serious - just imitating the usual BigFooty whinge on the topic of international players. Country kids > international players and ex-basketballers, footballers > athletes, etc.
