New Zealand Hawks to take on Australia

How good is that? It ticks so many of the boxes we've hoped to see ticked over the years - a serious tour that should give the AIS kids a really good hit out, a NZ squad that showcases its best players whilst highlighting the contribution they have made within Australia, and talk of getting an AFL match staged there, which is long overdue after the successful pre-season matches quite a few years ago now. And exactly as some of us have pointed out before - Australia often seems to forget the NZ in ANZAC.

Congrats to AFLNZ and the AFL for making this happen.

The AFL are keen to grow interest in the elite juniors at the AIS and leading in to make the AFL draft a bigger deal on TV, and Fox Footy are launching their dedicated footy channel again and are always looking for content.

I wonder if there's any chance of this match being telecast - that would be a huge boost to the profile of AFLNZ within Australian footy circles, and frankly by footy starved January I'd be happy to watch the Waitomo Glow Worms under 12s having an internal trial.
