Actually there is no large-scale international forum. Most clubs and leagues are intimately interested in their own development
to the detriment of the bigger picture. If there was more general awareness then volunteers would realize that
Australian Football is played regularly in over 50 countries now so large-scale flat handouts are impractical.
It is more a case-by-case basis.
That is the problem -Self interest always, but that is the road to nowhere overall.
You post a slightly rosy picture of International Footy which if true the talk of breakaway groups would not surface.
The AFL is now receiving the "Rivers of Gold" TV funding money, and it would be a good time to start putting pressure on, and the two people now running the AFL and the Commission appear to be reasonable, compared to previous office holders, and all things can generally be negotiated.
