Dubai: Saturday's NAB Cup match between the Adelaide Crows and Collingwood Magpies will have something on offer for everybody.
For those who are initiated, it will be a rare opportunity to watch their clubs play live at a venue outside of Australia, but for the 'converts,' it will be a baptism to some serious action.
"Coming in to a new venue like Dubai, I wonder what people can expect from us," chief coach Neil Craig wondered. "Fans, whether new or old, can be assured of non-stop action for close to 90 minutes. There will be some superb skills from both hands and feet and some spectacular athleticism from the players," Craig said.
"The new spectators can also be assured of some high scores during the game."
"To the complete newcomer to Aussie Rules football, I would say: 'Please don't worry about the rules of the game, just come and watch the action."
