    My point is we've got to start somewhere and China is as good a market as any.

    Wait and see I guess.
    Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

            Chinese President Hu Jintao after watching GWS beat Port Adealide today by 86 points has apparently said exposing his people to anything this game would be a stain on China's human rights record and as such it will be called off.

                Gold Coast announced as the second team, that is if it even gets off the ground.

                    China has a problem with investment opportunities. Their market lacks transparency. People sink it into housing, education, but there are not as many safe investment options like Aust, and people always try to send their money abroad. Remember Manchester City and their rich Middle Eastern Investor? Just wait for the Chinese one to do it for AFL.

                    AFL could catch on but it's like NBA- you would need a few Chinese players to perk their interest. Having Lin Jong on our list might be a bonus ( He is not Chinese, I know )

                        Some talk around Adelaide that the match payments are also related to the purchase of a cattle station. Not sure how factual that is.

                                They just banned import of foreign milk products into China unless it has a special label. A lot of people here are very angry about it.
                                So expect them to buy up and set up their own farms and dairies so they can get these 'green stamps' and government approval to import stuff.

                                    All they need to do is lock down the appropriate venue and it will happen.

                                        The AFL has announced (through Dwayne Russell) that the Bulldogs could be the second team and it will be the season opener in 2017.

                                            I prefered the Houston option. We will really play anywhere apparently.
