How did you logically link that ?Egan wrote:So you also thought that article was a load of sh*t...
then you'd probably believe the WA government is going to upgrade MES and then make
an all purpose super stadium .
If you're so naive to think I'd think you're genuine (about this thread , Australian Football in general,Australian Football overseas, that article , peace in a troubled land or any good news Australian football item), then you'd probably believe the WA government is going to upgrade MES and then make an all purpose super stadium .
Nowhere do I comment on the article itself.

Chinese Australian football players at the sod turning ceremony for Tianjin Australian Football facility
MELBOURNE Lord Mayor John So has attended a sod turning ceremony in China to launch an Australian football ground in Melbourne’s sister city, Tianjin.
AFL Community facilities manager Ken Gannon accompanied Mr So at Thursday’s announcement, which revealed the City of Tianjin is investing $1.5 million to develop the community facility.
The trip also included the assessment of a potential venue for a match to be played at the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai.
Mr Gannon addressed Tianjin government officials, Melbourne City Council representatives and Chinese businessmen at Thursday’s ceremony.
“Our game, which was born 150 years ago in Melbourne, is now having a birthplace in China here in the sister city of Tianjin,” Mr Gannon said.
“Many of Melbourne’s diversified communities, including a strong Chinese community, have all embraced our game in Melbourne.
“We believe its unique characteristics bring people together, and we hope that these characteristics can be engendered here and grow and develop as our game crosses many cultures and brings its values through that game.”
China’s AFL link was established when the Melbourne Demons introduced its China Strategy more than 18 months ago, designed to increase links with the Chinese community in Melbourne with the hope of establishing interest in the game abroad.
Part of that relationship has included pre-season staff and player visits to China to conduct training clinics, and the selection of two Chinese players to visit Melbourne and join the AFL club for training sessions at Junction Oval earlier this year.
The nation hopes to attend the 2008 International Cup in Melbourne and Warrnambool in August, and held a national team selection training camp in Tianjin on the weekend of May 10-11.

The tally of 22 chinese players indeed is impressive, however on a per capita basis it's all lies.Nines wrote:The nation hopes to attend the 2008 International Cup in Melbourne and Warrnambool in August, and held a national team selection training camp in Tianjin on the weekend of May 10-11.
Come to think of it though, why are we so keen to develop the game in China?
We've got plenty of grounds with slopes at one end already.kilonewton wrote:West London play at the Chiswick Rugby Club, about 3 fields from the club house. And they're an arrogant bunch too.
North London play on a ground which is used for childrens football (soccer) at one end and has quite a slope on it at the other.

For those who don't use .Simmo79 wrote:IIRC, the Staples Centre isn't in Orange County, it's in LA. And its an indoor arena. That the Lakers, Clippers and Kings use.
Just because the Orange County bombers have played there doesn't make it an Aussie Rules stadium you'd have to think . You have to be a retard to research Orange County Bombers and Staples Centre and not come across the photos of the Orange County Bombers playing at the Staples centre .Simmo79 wrote: And also an Aussie Rules stadium?
