Three AFL clubs embark on overseas training camps

All great news as the code is much more likely to gain attention when players at the highest level are competing or hosting clinics.

On the topic of the overseas matches, someone needs to sew Mike Sheahan's lips shut. In yesterday's Herald Sun he wrote about the London match, calling for an end to it. He said when there is no Judd or Cousins or Pavlich on the ground there is no point in competing and that it is little more than an end-of-year trip. Some of his points were valid but I am doubtful that the games do nothing at all. And if it is becoming a booze-fest why not send a couple of semi-professional clubs over. Surely a WAFL or SANFL exhibition match in London (Like the one planned for India) is better than none at all.

Total abuse of his media power.

A final note on the topic of football. Couldn't help but notice that the SANFL Grand Final drew a decent crowd (can't remember the exact figure) and the 'Slowdown' in South Australia in which ex-Adelaide and Port Adelaide stars like Modra and Paxman compete drew 34,000 people. Quite a turnout considering it wasn't at AFL or SANFL level. Surely this is further support to play the International Cup outside Victoria in 2008?

Also, in today's Herald Sun, Peter Everitt was in a picture in a Bali Gecko's jumper.

I certainly think that if any matches were held at Adelaide Oval there would be a good turn-out. At the end of the day hopefully several cities will actually bid for the event and presumably it will go to whichever one puts the best offer on the table.
