General Bombers Talk Sheeds leads Essendon contingent to Indian AFL National Championships

[Beerfish]

KEVIN Sheedy will lead a contingent of Essendon officials to India as the Bombers seek to tap into the growing Indian community around the club and, longer term, eye hosting an AFL game on the subcontinent.

The Bombers' party will fly to Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, where they will attend the Indian AFL national championships, after which Sheedy will select the team that will represent India at the International Cup in Melbourne from August 5.

The four-time Bombers premiership coach told AFL.com.au Essendon and the AFL had a great opportunity to grow Australian football by spreading the gospel to Indians, both in Australia and their homeland.

"Hosting a game on the sub continent". Does Sheeds realise it can get a little hot over there?

6,650,000,000 by 2030? .05% of the projected population isn't asking too much in 13 years is it?
