Sheeds wants AFL Round 1 overseas


Former Richmond and Essendon great Kevin Sheedy has called for future AFL seasons to commence with Round 1 played outside of Australia.

That in turn has created a League that has the privilege of hosting the largest Aussie Rules football carnival in the world each year.
