Aaron, are you sure your information is correct?

Whilst the caption under the photo in the ABC Radio article mentions a Melbourne-Essendon clash, the article itself has Sheedy saying the game will likely be between the Brisbane Lions & Melbourne.

Sorry - that was my mistake, I was looking at the photo text. Seems like someone at the ABC made the same mistake.

I was scratching my head too - Brisbane was being touted a while ago, and just last night Sheedy was saying on radio that it was looking very likely to go ahead between Brisbane and Melbourne. ABC did worse than get the caption wrong, they even have a photo of an Essendon player. Auntie is slipping. Good to see they covered it anyway. Probably got mixed up since he was former Essendon coach.

Glad to see the match is still on track.

Regarding the dedicated Aussie Rules ground already being built in China, if I recall correctly that is in Tianjin, which is up north closer to Beijing, so not really an option for the World Expo in Shanghai.
