'Does anyone actually want this?' A-League launch Monopoly

"If you thought the passion on the field was something," the A-League's Christmas launch for its own brand of Monopoly begins, "just wait until you’re sitting around with the friends and family navigating your way around the Official Hyundai A-League / Westfield W-League Monopoly Game."
