Punjabi-Australian journalist Manpreet Kaur Singh recently wrote an article for the AFL website, entitled, "Footy in a patka". In it she takes a lighthearted look at how Australian football can help bring people together and break down barriers. She also makes mention of Balraj Singh, a footballer of Punjabi descent, who at his peak was listed on the Adelaide Crows roster.

Manpreet Kaur Singh has previously conducted interviews for SBS radio with Balraj Singh (part of which is in Punjabi) and members of India's coaching and support team at the 2008 International Cup.
