St. Kilda FC to undertake pre-season training in South Africa

One would hope some demonstration sessions and clinics could be organised with the locals, since I think Footy South Africa has been trying to get the game started in Potchefstroom. Adelaide did some clinics in South Africa when there in 1997.

Apparently this was in the (Melbourne) Herald Sun and the Fox Sports website, so hopefully some good work will be done while the Saints are there:

Thomas said he planned a meeting with AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou, operations manager Adrian Anderson and game development general manager David Matthews tomorrow to brief them on the club's plans to promote the game in South Africa.

"We'll work with the AFL to try and spread the word. We'll do skill training every day and two or three athletic sessions each day," Thomas said.
