    What's International Rules' about and who really cares?

    I'm with you Cos. Dont understand why people can't get their head around the concept. Their loss, its the fastest football code on the planet. Would i prefer it to be Aussie Rules with a sherrin? of course, but that aint going to happen in the near future. I think the AFL might have to do...

    Soccer tycoon Clive Palmer attacks the Australian game on the GC

    http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2008/10/14/17419_gold-coast-top-story.html Palmer attempts to deride Aussie Rules to prop up his own soccer franchise on the GC. This is the type of soccer mentality that turns fans of both codes off soccer in this country. :mad: what a hypocrite seeing...

    $1 Billion for next TV rights - forget it!

    On the contrary, in tough times people tend to stay home for their entertainment. $80-100 a month for Foxtel is nothing when one night on the sauce can set you back that much. Pay TV / HD / internet are all stay at home entertainment set to boom further. At least the AFL has the...

    Black Friday for GC17?

    AFL is to Commonwealth Bank as NRL is to Suncorp. :D The credit crisis will make the strong stronger, the weak weaker. GC17 has the AFL. Many sporting clubs on the edge will suffer, thinking NRL Sydney clubs, as they drop out, otherswill be ready to pick up the slack in time. A boost...

    Footy Classified 2009 - OUT Archer IN Thomas

    Agree Archer had to go, he had the personality of an axe handle and was as articulate as Geroge 'Dubya' Bush. I dislike Thomas, I reckon he's an arrogant snob, but his views are sharp and controversial - the perfect fit for Footy Classified which had tended towards lame this year. Redb

    WSYD ACT Government deal with new Western Sydney AFL club

    Agree there is some risk, is it Western Sydney or Canberra or Riverina?. However, if some Western Sydney games are played in Canberra it creates more opportunities for AFL fans in the ACT to get to games outside of just Swans games. As we've seen with nroth QLd and the ACT, previously (60s...

    Expansion AFL is dead in Sydney

    There is a glaring omission in this article... What are the AFL junior numbers in Sydney, growth,etc? The use of the irrelevant crowd figure instead of AFL junior numbers is telling. A piece of News Ltd advertorial rubbish. Redb

    Expansion poorly moderated thread

    The bottom line is South Africa is showing rapid growth. It was good that both PNG and South Africa stepped up in the International Cup. These are the most likely countries to produce AFL players in the future. Redb

    WSYD 17,127 tickets sold to Sydney v North at ANZ

    The only thing that will save western Sydney team now is a relocation. (Bulldogs). I want the AFL to expand, reckon Gold Coast is a good option, west sydney just too soon, not enough development. Sydney fans arent big sports attenders like Melb. Look at the A League got 11K to the Sydney Fc...

    WSYD 17,127 tickets sold to Sydney v North at ANZ

    pretty low crowd for a final at 20K. they got 24K to the freo game a couple of weeks ago. Walls on Ch 10 said there are 4 reasons as advised to him by a good source: 1. poor economic climate in Sydney. (crowds down for all codes) 2. Wet weather last 2 days. 3. North Melb are a poor...

    Big Congrats to World Footy News

    World Footy News is an excellent website I stumbled across it a few years ago and couldn't beleive the number of teams in the US for example. I bet the site owners are happy to see International AFL footy getting some recognition in the mainstream press in Melbourne, even on Fox Sports. The...

    Expansion Aussie Rules World Cup in 2 weeks

    20-25 years, probably South Africa. The same can be said for international rugby league - how long has the NSW/QLD RL Kangaroos been playing international rugby league for and they still beat virtually everyone. At least our game is our own. :D Redb
