Whoa thanks mate!! Since you are interested, I spend most of my time in Sydney, and also a fair bit of time in QLD. Because of that I am swamped by NRL news constantly. When assessing anything most people compare it to something they know alot about.

I was just reading this article here which quotes: Would this be an accurate statement? Im opening it up to debate. We have things such as: An entire indigenous culture to be celebrated. Events: - Sydney Olympics - Americas Cup - The Ashes - Continual recognition of indigenous...

If you search twitter "Australian Football" it pops up with all kinds of people writing things about our game. Largely they are confused and do not know what is going on (though some quite like it). However for them to post something on twitter it shows that the game has made a decent impact...

............. and how long has SoO been shown for? 10 years < and > 3 years???????????

Everyone in the football world knows that Izzy and Hunt are ex-NRL players. It is widely reported, and also widely discussed about how skillful they were at rugby league. Have they helped to market NRL into the AFL states? It has definitely increased awareness of the code. Perhaps people...

Advertise the superbowl to be on the same date and time ... it would smash the ratings.

I have a feeling that eventually all of these news sites will be consolidated into one main site (perhaps under news.com.au). This will allow access to stories from all states. The newspapers will probably go national when readership drops as well. The fixed costs associated with running a...

Pretty obvious reason why AFL people arent taking up Foxtel. It might seem like a small reason for some but i believe it is a huge reason ... rugby league people call their sport rugby league ...we call ours football, yet their is already a 'football' on foxtel. Its a basic branding concept...

Which is the thought of most people. However there is a need for professional journalists to attend press conferences, and media events to cover it all. This needs to be paid for somehow. News Corp (the global owner of News Limited) has decided to use Melbourne as its test case world wide...

Simple... Set some key metrics that each club needs to reach by a certain date. Those not reaching them get merged (or relocated). I believe the clubs to be considered for this would be North Melbourne, Melbourne, St Kilda. Metric would include: - tv ratings - crowds - membership numbers

Bulls$%t Sydney pubs/clubs/RSL are definitely not packed. I have yet to go have a meal anywhere on a regular rugby league night and see it 'packed'. I mostly frequent clubs/bars in and around Balmain, Surry Hills, the city centre, and occasionally Parramatta. The most popular for league I have...

Im pretty sure its so that they can promote the NRL. I know plenty of people watching the NRL one simply because the AFL one isnt on. But it is very surprising that they dont have the NRL one on in the footy states.

The good thing about being on 7mate is that we actually get a alot of pregame. It might not seem like much to people who have had it all the time, but pregame and postgame TV adds a significant amount to the entertainment experience. Now all we need is a good midweek footy show shown live into...

Todays AFL footballer trains most days a week and has no job other than playing football, training for football, and doing media events for football. Are there any events at the Olympics where AFL footballers could compete (prob not win)? With only a small amount of preparation? Im...

Collingwood - need a bit of luck to win on current form. Essendon - 50/50 match .. could win. Crows - tough match ... need some luck (id tip a loss) Hawks - toughest match (another loss tipped). West Coast - another tough one (another loss) Saints - can win Dogs - can win Swans -...

No. You want a team in 50 years. But just like you dont have shares in Rio Tinto ... YOU have no say about it. If the AFL and the fans want a third team there, we will put one there. The number of 'we' is growing every day. To add, if you check out the twitter feeds of many AFL players they...

Basically you want football to be run by dictators??? Say something bad and you lose your membership?

I occasionally buy the AFR, and also The Age/SMH/Herald Sun when flying.

All that is his personal opinion. Similar to the Rio Tinto CEO coming out and saying that he believes in 20 years they will have more mines in this place and this place. However things change (different mining areas located etc ... others providing more than expected), and the CEO then isnt...

????Where did you get those figures from???? In 1996 the average was 24574. The crowds have peaked at about 35k in 1997 and 2007 (ill let you figure out why). Looking at the graph below we can see there is a clear positive trend ... this is called growth. Yes crowds have dropped the last two...

Perhaps a membership at each club which you can only purchase after consistent memberships for the last 10 years, and attending most home matches each season? It could have priority access to finals tickets.

perhaps each match you attend increases your odds in any finals ticket ballot. Though ... attending matches is not the only metric of passion! I live in Sydney and cannot attend many Cats matches at all!!

Would Israel Folau or Karmichael Hunt ever move clubs? Could be interesting to see Hunt play for the Lions. Or perhaps the Suns could poach Folau .. he'd be happier with Hunt! Could provide decent national exposure for a club like North Melbourne looking to expand their supporter base spread.

The Herald Sun introduced the pay-wall on their site a number of months ago, and the Fairfax newspapers will be introducing it early 2013. At the Herald Sun you can notice that pretty much all the football articles are behind the wall. What effect do you see these walls having on football...

Speak for yourself ... Pretty sure they did ... Harry Potter doesnt actually exist. The resistance is alot less than it used to be, alot less. Assuming you are comparing Sydney to Victoria. Victoria has a lot more variety, and im from Sydney. They both have all the football codes...

Carlton will run out of legs .... they already look buggered. On a side note, does anyone know why Channel Nine are showing an empty stadium on their channel ... surely the viewers would be bored.

I agree. The population that he represents should be disgusted with themselves. He is too young to know whats best. He is most likely leaving it all up to his advisors behind the scenes.

Lol ... West of Sydney.

The Carbon tax could have an indirect influence. Think of things such as lighting costs, gear manufacturing, stadium construction costs ... all will increase.
