Question for Gus
- Thread starter Rosy
- Start date
Hi Rosie
A few of the expats here have formed a Team in Ho Chi Minh City called the Saigon Saints and they play a few teams from around the Regions such as the Bangkok Tigers. That almost inspired me enough to pull the boots on when I was living in Bangkok, but commonsense prevailed in the end.
As for the TV Coverage we get a channel here called ABC Asia Pacific which is run by the ABC, but have negotiated the rights to telecast AFL in the Region. Last year it was only on, on a Saturday and Sunday, but they have expanded there coverage this year to include the Friday night game, which is shown at 9.00 pm local time. Just about to sit down and watch Adelaide V the Dockers now and will be keeping an eye on Torney to see how he goes.
Funny the guy couldn't get a game a few years ago at the Tiges. Good luck to him he deserves it. Just wish he was still on our list.
We have done a few promotions for the local international school here to try and educate a few of the other nationalities about our great game.
Cheers
Gus

Jason Torney was just about best on ground against the dockers. Probably played the game of his career thus far. It will be interesting to see how he goes this year, especially in comparison to Kane Johnson. I thought we should have kept Torney and gone for a new kid in the draft rather than going for Johnson. But Johnson has come with a massive reputation and he will hopefully prove worthwhile.
