You've got to plant the seed and start it somewhere.

I don't know what the facilities are like and whether there's a venue and all those sorts of things.

What about they play Collingwood in India and Collingwood, just for the game, change their name from Collingwood to Bollywood?

Do you think that would work?

Well, that would work for Collingwood, but you're saying it's the Western Bulldogs that are going to be driving this.

Right, but then Collingwood are clever.

I mean, Ned is a very, very clever marketer.

Ned was 60 yesterday, by the way.

Happy birthday to him for yesterday.

Big fella, yeah.

But I think, you know, in all fairness and seriousness, I think that looking at all other ways of expanding the game globally, I think we should be doing that.

Yeah, 100%.

Not that we're going to be playing, you know, home and away games regularly in India and other places, but in terms of being able to, you know, sports are global.

Like, look at how many people around the world follow the NBA basketball system.

You don't have to have the NBA playing in your backyard, but for you to be familiarised with a sport and then to be able to be engaged in that sport in some way, I mean, that's how these things grow.

Tommy Morris spoke about this last night.

How much of this is drawn by the want to compete with NRL and expand your wings and play internationally?

Oh, there'd be one eye on that all the time about what the NRL are doing and whether or not they're beating the AFL to the punch and the expansion, that type of thing.

I think that's always a consideration there.

It is... We can't not... No, undeniable.
