SOME arrive without boots.
Others are slightly weary after having travelled six hours just to be there.
But every member of the Jakarta Bintangs Aussie Rules team beams with excitement - and tonight is only training.
"The level of enthusiasm and the love these kids have for Australian Rules is pretty phenomenal,'' team coach and Adelaide expat Adam Bray says.
Bray moved to Indonesia with his wife 18 months ago and, as a former amateur level player in Adelaide, decided to join the Bintangs to stay involved in footy.
Today, he finds himself not only coaching the Bintangs but helping drive the growth of AFL among 12-23-year-old Indonesians.
