AFL's Bulldogs hope to sell home games to NZ

I'm just speculating, but do you think maybe they wanted to avoid a backlash from Victorian-based fans? You can convince people that it's a good idea to play in Tasmania or in Darwin, but NZ's would be a harder sell to Bulldogs members.

The Australian football public (and particularly the Victorian football public) is notoriously hard to convince that Australian rules has any potential overseas, it's hard enough to convince them that the AFL should invest any money in NSW and Qld.

And many businesses prefer not to announce that something MAY be going to happen, because if it doesn't eventuate it can be seen as a failure or a disappointment to fans. I guess potentially it could jeopardise it happening too - maybe a fan backlash, or maybe the NZ opposition or Rugby might cause waves (just speculating, I don't know the situation over there).

My feeling about this story is mixed - part of me says great, I'm so glad they are seriously considering this at last, and part feels disappointed that it didn't happen in 2010 and of course is no guarantee thereafter.

Let's hope it happens.
