Indigenous squad named for Lions tour

I keep counting 26 names in that squad!!!!

Speaking of Under age touring teams, I note that AFL Europe has one of the AFL/AIS Under age matches down to be played in Copenhagen, Just hope that match has been scheduled for a week end (not like the dud in Paris last year) so all the footy fans in Denmark and southern Sweden can get along to watch.

They could well get a few Pirates and Wharfies from Hamburg Dockers as spectators too. Years ago the trip from Hamburg to Copenhagen was done(by myself) in about 3+ hours( that included a ferry crossing back then too) could well be a bridge across that stretch of water by now.

Now if an International Test was played at the same time(what a Festival of Footy that would be) A crowd of 3 to 4 hundred or more would not be impossible.

And if the organisers could get Europe's most famous Taswegian along to present the best player medals (would pretty remiss not to at least ask) how many more just curious onlookers they could drag in on the day. The lady in question would certainly know how to kick a footy if she had brothers.

Count again Cam.

No just messing with you (I was tempted to type no more).

It was 25 according to the AFL press release we received, but yes there's 26 names.

Just wouldn't wanna be the bloke that turns up at the airport to find only 25 plane tickets available because I can't count :-)

Nice full page artilce with photo in today's West Australian newspaper about the WA contingent of the Boomerangs. Unfortuantely it's not duplicated online.
