    Observations from a week on the Gold Coast

    Pretty good and fairly accurate summary really. its similar to the passion of AFL fans in Melbourne for their suburban football team, only bigger and more widespread and more infectious!

    This thread is about the ideal setup for a truly national football competition for a truly national game so it doesn't matter which brand of football it may be.
