Meh. I don't think a few seconds of highlights in India would be worth much. And even if the AFL coverage did get picked up, it would probably be on a premium channel, the Indian Setanta equivalent.

He's not serious, is he? That's a terrible idea.

Alright, and now I've forgotten what the point of that was.

Actually, I'd like to know how many people have pay TV subscriptions in India. But thanks for providing two numbers that have absolutely no relevance whatsoever.

Maybe you should give me some numbers. Lots of people ignore that.

The ordinary Chinese person lives in a one bedroom flat with this wife, mother-in-law and five kids and his life sucks. Think about how many Australians have cable; even in this relatively rich country, not many people have it.

There's a difference between a single game and a whole league. Dude, China's POOR.

Actually, AFL has tons of rules comparatively.

... Toyota sells cars EVERYWHERE, and Emirates fly EVERYWHERE! NAB is only an AUSTRALIA-WIDE business! Duh!

Oh yeah, that's the kind of intellect that'll help AFL conquer the world. :rolleyes:

Again, the AFL can't expand internationally without acknowledging football. Deal with it.

A-League clubs don't have a big tradition of travelling, so ~36000 in a neutral city for a game between the two smallest clubs, in a league that's three years old, that's still pretty good. I'm not nearly smart enough to be a troll.

To be fair, that was a game between the two smallest clubs, and it was held in a neutral city. Well, it just so happens that "soccer" is a very, very big part of the international.

Find me an NSL Grand Final that got 55,436 in attendance.

And you ASSUME they'd be interested.

So you assume because they don't have Australian rules football, that when they see it, they're just going to drop whatever else they follow and watch AFL instead?

Government schmovernment. If the Australia govt. said tomorrow that curling was our new national sport, would you automatically take it up?

Soccer's actually pretty big in India, just doesn't get much exposure. They get huge crowds sometimes. East Bengal-Mohun Bagan gets up to 120,000. tYSmI0F2UQk

>_> <_<

Rubbish.

Hehehehe. One of my biggest annoyances with the AFL is the plastic-ness and the "franchise-ness" of the clubs, and this pretty much confirms my thoughts. Plastic and corporate to the core. Hate to bring another code into this, but let's take a look at the most popular sports shirts in terms of...

Wolves looks cool, but is way too close to Port Adelaide in terms of colour.

To be fair, he had a snowball's chance of ever playing for Australia. Probably just took the realistic option.

Tasmania Loggers.

Eventually, there's probably capacity for up to fourteen A-League clubs.

Yeah, but now, soccer has a pathway, meaning that kids who play it have somewhere to go. Incidentally...

Wrong. They're the ninth-oldest club still in existence, the seventeenth-oldest ever, and they definitely did not invent Australian football. In fact, if the game played today was fundamentally the same as the game played 150 years ago, I'd be extremely surprised.

Get rid of the map and the T and I reckon it looked alright.

There ya go. Combines Melbourne's shirt with the colours of the old Tasmania SoO team. Here's another, with gold cuffs and collar instead of maroon: Couple of away shirts:

Re: Create Name and Jumper of new Gold Coast Team Tell you what, just use University's old colours. Nobody's using them, so what the hell.
