well looks like it's mission accomplished for the AFL, it has taken them all of 20 years, but they have finally killed off the VFA. The only hope imho is for the old VFA clubs to break away and reform the old VFA, albeit with a highly reduced salary cap. What is the point of them being in the...

LOL. Can't believe I wrote that. I'd be curious to hear your responses on why you disagree

For me, yes. spending 1 hr a day stuck on the Eastern Freeway carpark trying to get to work and back? no thanks. and what if i want to hit a bar or club? from maidstone/footscray it's a short cab ride to the cbd, fitzroy, carlton, williamstown etc. good luck taking a cab to blackburn from the...

i'm no electronics guru, but in uni, the way i thought of it (maybe i'm wrong) was to compare it to a pipe with running water in it.... Voltage is equivalent to the how big the diameter of the pipe is (ie the volume of water passing through)....whereas the current, is the speed that the water...

oh man...where do you start? 1) politics: our freedoms and civil liberties are being eroded by governments day by day (9/11 just accelerated this) and religious nuts. with each generation governments are becoming more and more far right wing to the point of fascism....which has a direct...

for me, as a single bloke best: anywhere within a radius of 8km from cbd (excluding docklands: that place just depresses me) worst: anywhere greater than 15km from cbd how people can live further than 20k's from the city is beyond me (I know, most don't have a choice). Just speaking from a...

i'm from 71, and your description is very accurate...had no idea you could buy guns at kmart though! we had no tv until 1975, and our first colour tv was in 1981....i still remember the day how exciting it was to see the incredible hulk in actual green lol especially the part about knowing...

Looks sensational, better than the current rubbish. Now can the name be changed back to Footscray? TIA

Tbh I think the OP is spot on with his comments. To say Port was this and that in 2003 might be true, but that was 10 years ago, a lot has changed in the game....professionalism and resources at clubs have expanded and are now critical to a club's success....without adequate resources, money...

Regarding the comments by the OP, referring to matches between the VFL and WAFL and SANFL premiers as indicators of league standards....you got to be joking right? It is a well known fact the Vic teams were in holiday mode and couldn't give a rats whether they won or lost those games. Can you...

A second tier comp is an interesting idea...but I don't see it being viable having teams from the WAFL in it....having teams travel from and to WA would send teams broke, it is just too far....the air costs would be too high. Rather, I see something like a South Eastern league (ie SEAFL)...

I think playing the game at Etihad is a huge mistake imho. They should be promoting the community football aspect of this and stick to playing the GF at North Port or some other suburban ground. I'd rather see a crowd of 10k in a packed suburban ground, rather than a sparse Etihad with only...

Was thinking about how dire the situation of second tier football has been since the demise of the VFA. One idea I have never seen mentioned is the creation of a Victorian State Football League (ie similar to the VPL in soccer), where the best of the metro and country teams (ie EDFL, FDL, VCFL...

This thread makes me really sad (and angry)....when the VFA got renamed to VFL and became aligned with the AFL reserves one condition should have been that the AFL reserves team must use the identity and colors of the VFA team it is aligned with. For example, it really burns me up when I see...

Couldn't agree more....one of the greatest examples of this was the old VFA, at it its peak in 1983 they had 2 divisions of 12 teams each with promotion and relegation. It makes me very sad to see how this league was killed off bit by bit, by the VFL. I honestly wish one day the remaining VFA...

serious question....why is there so much paranoia emanating from this forum? there has been attack after attack on the world game...yet not one article from a soccer journalist attacking aussie rules. the hatred coming from this forum is disgraceful....your up in arms about a possible...

why the need to pull out the race card? last time i looked soccer was invented by the English, and the AFL is run by an 'ethnic'. ....so i don't really understand your point, if that's what you call it. what a small minded person you must be. you can't think of a well thought out counter...

i don't understand why people perceive the A League to be a threat? after all, last time i checked......it is played in summer. i'd imagine the NRL and Union to be the AFL's direct competitors....no?
