Should we get involved in South African Aussie rules?

[one-eyed]

West Coast, Fremantle and Collingwood have all been assigned a province in which they will promote the game. South Africa boasts 3000 Australian football players; the figure is predicted to swell to 20,000 in three years.

The Eagles will be responsible for pumping resources into the province of KwaZulu-Natal. Fremantle will have the North-West Province and Collingwood the Western Cape.

A fourth alliance, based in and around Johannesburg, is expected to be announced soon.

Should Richmond put their hand up for the 4th alliance?

YES- but we probably cant afford it.

one of these clubs will find some black kid who will make it because of there athletic ability.

Yes, we should go for the Johannesberg alliance where my mum comes from

Agree Ramps. They're not too far away for a country where Aussie Rules is totally foreign. I think the U19 SA side only lost by a couple of goals to a U16 aboriginal side. Not a bad effort despite the age difference.
