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...
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...
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...
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...

I agree. It would make for a much much more exciting season if you knew that you had only one chance to beat each team. Imagine Richmond playing Carlton! They would have only one chance to show each other who is boss...
Just been thinking about the top payouts that football receives from fans of other sports (most notably league and soccer) ... and then about why this might be, and possible retorts (other than silence).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
So basically at high school you have the coooool kids, and the losers who are behind in the latest fashions, socially etc.
Does anyone think that particular playing groups culture can be seen as a loser club?
For example ... alot of chicks dig AFL players (in general), but would they prefer...
Hey guys,
Just wondering what you all think of the existing talent pathways that exist within football.
I am currently beginning a StartUp company in competition in Melbourne over the weekend.
It would be great if you could add some feedback on your thoughts of the negatives and positives...
Who do you think the greatest defenders for the Sydney Swans are??

Having recently joined Twitter, I was wondering what people/groups you all follow?
Currently I have:
@AFL
@worldfooty
@ABCgrandstand
@AusFootball
@SENfooty
@Catsinsider

I also regularly use the hashtags:

If you look at the football pioneer states of WA, Vic, SA, Tas you occasionally hear reports that state if you dont follow football your career will be affected.
Is this true in the pioneer states?
Or could being a Collingwood supporter harm your prospects of promotion if you worked fora...
How many non-australian players do need to have in the AFL until we have a genuine challenger for a full strength All-Australian?
Im talking about people like Mike Pyke, Tadgh Keneally, Marty Clarke etc. not players who are Australians with fijian/new zealand descendants etc.
Im guessing...
Rugby league has Ray Warren.
Rugby previously had Bill McLaren.
Wrestling has Michael Buffer.
Cycling has Phil Liggett

Who is the voice of football?
Dennis Commetti is my favourite, but is he the voice?
Hypothetically,
Say A and B became AB. Does the AFL have power to stop A joining the NRL?
I know the AFL can prevent them starting a rival competitio, but would these trademarks become useless after a merge?
Could it happen vice-a-versa? Could the AFL takeover the Newtown Jets (exNRL...
Simple ...
3 conferences, 6 teams each.
Play everyone in your conference twice (home/away) and other conferences once.
That equals 22 matches for the season which is perfect!
Finals, figure it out... perhaps top 2 from each, and then two wild cards somehow.
The AFL should...

Each club adopts a culture (not necessarily a nationality) for the entire week build up to the weekend.
They embrace themselves fully into that culture. Perhaps a dinner with traditional food on the wednesday night ... dressed in traditional dress.
Partake in cultural events,such as...

Seriously it is ridiculously disrespectful.
There are a lot of names that they can call themselves yet they insist on insulting out sport and creating confusion within the sporting public.
In regards to the ridiculously biased anti-AFL Daily Telegraph, should we boycott all news limited papers (including the Herald Sun)?
The Daily Telegraph has no where near the suitable amount of football content compared to the popularity in Sydney (and even more so the rest of NSW).
The...

Are these fair game seeing as though that they now represent similar areas?
Obviously you if you see someone wearing any of the Sydney teams (Swans, Giants, Kings, Waratahs etc) merchandise at a match involving only one of the Sydney teams you...
We all know that most posters on league unlimited despise the AFL, and just as passionately believe Australian Football is for homosexuals (yes it is, but is also for heterosexuals, bisexuals, transexuals etc.).
However I do believe that in recent years we have helped them. We have forced...
Advertise on the buses and trains. There are places on each of these to place advertising. The campaign could easily be focused on how to get to the match easily (ie route).
You have a captive audience.
Or even more basic, educate the Sydney audience (especially Western Sydney) about football...

Subconsciously we all do, but do you go out of your way to support those businesses that support your club or the AFL?
For instance with Geelong I would consider buying Ford if in the market for a car but would not buy it simply because they support my club. The same with Toyota and the AFL...
