VFL club Williamstown to host Swedish Elks at IC11

Does this mean that every IC11 team will be hosted by a NSW/Victorian club or is this just a privilege that Sweden is lucky to have?

It must be an invalauble experience for the Elks players to be able to train with a first rate VFL club such as Williamstown.

Up to each nation to try to negotiate/arrange I assume.

Goes both ways, I reckon Williamstown will get something out of it as well.

As to whether Sweden benefit on field straight away, if it was for a few weeks then yes, but there's very little time for training with such a heavy schedule of matches. Maybe they'll have 1 or 2 runs? I see it more as a good bridge building exercise and hopefully a long term relationship. Maybe the Seagulls will be able to offer some off team support as well (trainers etc) - just speculating though.

There goes the GB Bulldogs chance of using their facilities... Thought they would be open to this considering we are both Bulldogs... each country should be aligned with an AFL club while they are there for the IC....

But isn't it a bit late to be organising that and aren't Williamstown the Seagulls, not Bulldogs?
