Door opening for New Zealand AFL club

Hi everyone.

Gareth brings up a good point about the rights from Sky tv. Why not offer them to Maori TV for a song and simply ask for maybe a live game a week, one delayed and a highlights show in prime time as part of the deal.

I'd also be curious to know if the AFL has a register of overseas born players living in Australia?

Cheers,

KeyWee

Hi KeyWee,

> I'd also be curious to know if the AFL has a register of overseas born players living in Australia?

The AFL have promoted the AFL players with multicultural connectiosn at stages in the past, so they would have some sort of list. Of course if you mean Aussie Rules players in general then there would be thousands in Australia that were born overseas.

Actually they did publish a list this year, which we reproduced on WFN:

118 players with multicultural background on AFL lists
