Exhibition game in London?

Question

Every year, there's an AFL exhibition match held at the Oval cricket ground here in London at the end of October..this year's game sees Geelong meet Port Adelaide. It attracts big crowds, mainly of Aussies living in London but plenty of curious English as well.

But does the match get much coverage or exposure in the media in Australia?

Answer 1

Answer 2

only in Melbourne

Answer 3

nah sadly... let me know who wins... i go for port adelaide!

Answer 4

Well I was at last years game between Freo and the Eagles, and will be going again this year. My girlfriend and I got interviewed by a channel 9 newscrew who were doing a tv news story about it. I don't think you can watch it live, not even on pay tv, as I didn't see any coverage tv cameras, just a couple of newscrews. I think from memory there was BBC crew there too.
