Australian Rules football elbows its way into Russia

As a resident of country South Australia I tend to ( and you a North Queenslander??) down play the tyranny of distance in our minds (when our local footballers travel any where up to 150 to 200 kms every couple of weeks for away games and lots of that is over dirt roads) when we write and read about the blokes in Europe. And the roads are a lot busier over there too :-)

I used to (when a good bit younger) drive from Adelaide(and Port Augusta) to Bathurst over an ordinary weekend to watch the Bathurst 1000 race. Had pointed out to me that was roughly about the same distance as from Amsterdam to Moscow when in Holland a few years ago. And that's thru about 4or 5 countries too.

I think the guys over there are doing a great job growing our great game and having to overcome their "tyranny of distance" at the same time.
