The AFL today ln Tianjin

""THE LEAGUE'S push into China has been strengthened by Tuesday's launch of a purpose built AFL oval in the northern city of Tianjin.

The $1.5 million project, which is a collaboration between the City of Melbourne, the AFL and the Melbourne Football Club, has produced the first oval of its kind in the Chinese city.""

Okay...who knew about this ?? lol Whats our involvement ? Are we playing another exhibition game ?

I kind of like the potential of al lthis. Weve discussed ad infinitum al lthis in previoou sthreads in previous years but this is after all real.

Can anyone provide some deeper information ?

>:~))

cheers

    For 1.5M sounds like it will have all the AFL bells and whistles

    I'd be worried if I was Dorklands

    BB the way I read it looked to me that there would not be game before the start of 2012 season.

    However it is mainly guess work on my part.

    Hope Scully and GWS are forced to play there .

    Might teach him some values seeing people who make 1 miilionth of his wage pay to come watch him struggle to hit a target-ha .

    I notice Cam mentioned something about a local team called the Tianjin Demons. If we go to play a demo game again, I'll head over for sure... Shanghai last year was a great experience.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
