I see Adelaide are sponsored by South China Airlines .... you think this had anything to do with the games there or then just thinking Adelaide would be a good way to get some national exposure?

Glad I could help beatup. In truth your ignorance is understandable. The bubble is pulled down tight pal. In your case it's impenetrable. It's impossible to educate folk like yourself.
As for soccer.....who cares!!! I'm just pointing out the incontrovertible fact they have international exposure and a team called the Socceroos. The AFL beats 'em on domestic comps but soccer is in front overall.
In any case: welcome back pal. Why the sudden manic activity?? Where ya been?? It's great you've come out from behind the bushes to actually engage.
But where were ya last year pal?? You know.....when your mess was tanking??? What was it?? Too busy??? Hiding??? Cowardice??? Do tell pal.

Would love to see the game take off in China and India. Great to hear the AFL is finally taking China seriously. Baby steps I know, but a good start.
Last dancer says China ripe for AFL expansion

THE Chinese market is ripe for the taking by the AFL, according to former star ballet dancer turned stockbroking whiz, Li Cunxin.
Cunxin, of Mao's Last Dancer fame, said the Chinese were fans of all types of sport, but there was no code in China they could proudly call their own. He said his native land was ''a great potential market'' for Australian football, and could create one billion new fans for the code.
''The basketball game is very weak and the standard is very low. Soccer is also very average,'' said Cunxin, who quickly became an AFL convert after he moved to Melbourne 16 years ago.
''If I'm your average Chinese fan, then I think you could have over a billion people following you. There is no reason why China should not be an incredible future market for AFL.''
The AFL is already taking the first steps of an Asian expansion. It plans to filter Chinese athletes into the annual draft combine in coming years.
AFL international development manager Tony Woods said the league would establish an academy in Guangzhou in the country's south by the end of the year. ''We are realists and realise it is bold and ambitious,'' he said.
''We are taking the first steps into tapping into the Chinese market, and I believe absolutely that we will one day have a Chinese-born athlete running around the MCG.''
The AFL, with the Melbourne Football Club and City of Melbourne, has already invested $1.5 million in China, launching a purpose-built oval in Tianjin, northern China, in October.
Cunxin was speaking at the 15th anniversary dinner of the AIS/AFL Academy.
He told the 60 young academy members, many of whom are expected to go on to play AFL, never to lose the drive and passion needed to reach the sport's highest level - even after their playing careers had ended.
He said in the last 3½ years of his dancing career he studied his investment diploma. ''Even though I was passionate and committed about ballet, I was always interested in other things as well. I was fascinated with discovering the stock market, so I went to do some accounting courses to understand it better.
''By the time I was ready to stop dancing I made a very smooth career transition from dancing to finances. I'm a senior manger at one of the largest stockbroking firms in Australia today, so not only was I able to make that career transition smoothly, but also very successfully.
''It took the same discipline, dedication and work ethic from dance - you can apply that to any field.
''That discipline you have today is going to set you up for life.''

Overseas expansion has failed, hence the creation angloflX. Unfortunately, this version is as unwatchable as the usual stuff.
