    (Not to diss your day Hartijon, just imagining there'd be more viewers in Sydney then Thailand).
    That's right! Coverage here is much better than when I lived in NSW and that totally sux! You would be surprised at the number of expats here at the big (and I mean big) sports bars watching AFL,Rugby etc.

      I'm supposed to be on a plane to Bangkok right now.
      Jetstar decided to change my flight to tomorrow
      Thank god for Thai airways who changed my connecting flight with no penalty even though the stuff up had nothing to do with them.
      So now I'll be there tomorrow night and then again on the 16th 17th 18th & 19th (I think)
      Maybe I'll catch the Swans game on that weekend.
      Knowing my luck it's on free to air in Melbourne anyway
      The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

          It's not worth it just for the footy, and I don't know about other people, but there's little else that appeals to me on Foxtel.

            I was probably the biggest anti-foxtel person on here. It's worth it - just for the footy.

            Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

              Why doesn't Vlad put the thinking cap on and relocate the Kangas to Bangkok. Huge market, great away game excuse to get out of town and they could be called the Bangas.

                Or send them to the Philippines.

                With all the talk of them going under, they could be the 'Manila Folders'.

                  ditto.

                  I hardly watch TV these days. so I'm not about to pay for something I'll watch, once in a blue moon.

                    Yeah! Agree 100%

                    Stop being a bunch of women everyone and get the shopping and cooking channels.

                        Channel 7, or Prime where I live is an unbelievable joke, the commentators are always biased, football is not their priority, the games are on at 11pm at night, ok for me I work afternoon shift, but I have much recorded stuff to catch up on as well. & should have syuck with what they know, which amounts to BRUCE being, you guessed it, SPECIAL.

                          Great Idea and would be an instant success! They may have to change their colours to yellow and red to keep everybody happy though.

                              The "bangas"

                              I thought of another potential problem. My mate has to walk past the notorious Lolitas bar to get to his condo from the skytrain. He took his old mother when she visited him and she asked why all those girls were wearing numbers on their uniforms and smiling so much."That's the Thai netball team Mum!" he said.She bought it....!!!! An AFL team of all men with uniforms and numbers might get misconstrued. Also they would need at least one transvestite to be "normal" over here!
                              All jokes aside there is a huge expat community here following all Aussie sport and Kangaroo bars and True Blue bars and the AFL is intensely followed.Thankfully we get 5 to 6 games and a half hour of highlights every week
