What an exciting prospect. Australia has had an influx of recent immigrants from Africa, Asia, South Pacific Islands, South America and Mars. Soccer, Rugby, Basketball, Cricket and Baseball were revolutionised by multiculturalism. How much improvement at AFL level will our new citizens bring over the next few decades?

    I live in an area where there are quite a lot of african immigrants and quite a lot of them are appartenty getting into footy. I'd say with in about 5-6 years there'll be at least a couple of african kids playing AFL.

    Good observation. I saw a dozen or so of them the other night, kicking the soccer ball around. Whilst I'm glad it was a ball they were kicking, I wasn't impressed that it was a soccer ball. If I had a old sherrin I would of gone back and given it to them. They're pretty quick too...

    Yes. We'll see a few in the AFL by then.

    • PREVIEW: Brisbnae

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      The Demons return to Melbourne and the hallowed turf of the MCG where they face dual reigning Premiers Brisbane on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
