    Does the AFL have to get rid of "Australian" for Aussie Rules to be successful?

    The name of the game may need a catchy term to make it grow internationally, but that is a purely marketing issue. I like the theme from CalgaryBlue - the carrot of representing your country might be the way to go in the short to medium term. But it must be tough to get footy going overseas...

    Ted whitten Jnr's Son.

    gee - it's really tough on any off-spring of famous people. Either it is too over-whelming (Don Bradman's son changed his name), have to prove themselves in another field (Keith Stackpole Snr played for Fitzroy, Jnr played test cricket for Australia) or thrive (Gary Ablett MkI & MkII). Anway...

    Membership Figures

    In today's Age the current figure is quoted as 21,013 - up 13.6% on last year at same time. that's a couple hunderd short of the record. Even though it's up, it is still the smallest membership of any League club. The Weagles and Adelaide each have over 40,000. But have you ever asked who are...

    another crap season?

    I call you guys the "Pakistan" of the AFL. Either running hotter than Kylie Minogue's back-side, or colder than Peter Costello's smile. Pre-season I picked Freo to be the big rise up the ladder this season. A couple of week ago you creamed the 'Pies by a zillion points, then back to your old...

    yeah - I watched his sister play footy for Diamond Creek in the Women's Footy League at the week-end. She's a ball magnet, so he obviously gets it from her. ok, ok, it's just an excuse to plug the women's footy league and Diamond Creek (sorry)...But his sister really does play!

    what can be done to fix the sun

    Play the game in the morning. There are no twos any more, so the ground is free at that time of the day. It will allow all the supporters coming from Melbourne to get home before it's dark.

    Harsh Criticism

    Successful teams are aggressive. Not neccesarily at the opponent, but at the contest. And the more aggressive you are at the contest, the more likely the chance of getting a report. So do you back off to not get reported and be seen as soft? Teams are respected for aggressive play, as...

    Revised Season Goals.

    this is a wacky season and history is not going to be a good teacher. Usually the premiers have to do an apprenticeship (eg runners-up, or a couple of prelims) before they snare the big one. Most teams running hot at the moment don't fit the bill. So I reckon at this stage any team could...
