THE MAN BEHIND GWS NOW WANTS TO GO GLOBAL
THE opening round of the AFL season would be played overseas for premiership points in a plan pitched to league headquarters by footy legend Kevin Sheedy.
Sheedy said matches should be played across the globe to broaden the reach of AFL and use Aussie expats living abroad to help sell the code to the masses
“We’re in a better position now than ever to seriously look at the growth of our game overseas while we’re still promoting and developing it in the northern states of Australia,’’ he said

Re: Kevin Sheedy: Play an AFL round overseas
Oh my
Dockhead is just not real bright .
Firstly
Why would RL sweat .
We already play multiple games overseas ....
It's no big deal
The biggest event at Wembley a few years ago was a test between England & NZ
There's pro & semi pro Rl matches played in NZ PNG France England Canada during the year .
Lol
& more importantly a whole round of AFL overseas has serious ramifications
Oh my
Won't somebody think of the poor caterers ,
All those missing fans eating throughout the whole game .

Were do you buy Tickets? This is a day we will all remember. The day a village sport became international. We all new where we were and what we were doing when JFK was shot, the moon landing and the great Shanghai experiment.
Rugby League, the dominant force in Australian sport!
