More than 20k and no not in the bin. No they didn't. Lions fans are quite happy with the direction we are heading.

We will get a lot more then 10k. Ours didn't get microwaved either.

Just going by reading the meltdown on your board and on social media. 1 loss and its back to normal at Tigerland

Richmond membership has probably just dropped by 70%

Because the point is to show support to the 1 club in Vic that doesn't have pokies despite probably being the club that needs them the most.

Thinking of getting a North membership to support their no pokies status.

Found out the other day that Mal Michael wanted to play in the international cup for PNG in 2002 but the AFL said no. Can you imagine if they said yes walking up to Leigh Matthews saying 'Hey Leigh I know we're chasing back to back flags but I'm just taking a couple of weeks off to play for PNG'

Its understandable the AFL wamting kore teams but also understand why India feel a bit hard done by. In there eyes there putting a lot of effort into growing the game in there own country and then Pakistan there arch rivals only bring a handful of players from Pakistan. I heard there was a match...

Yeah thats what I'm saying but apparently you are only allowed 12 local based players on the field at any time and I don't know if that is being very well policed

India v Pakistan in Bendigo on Friday night was fantastic apart from the result. Huge crowd great atmosphere music during the game, traditional Aussie footy favourites as well as curry available. School kids created banners for both teams. Only thing that seems a little unfair is most of the...

Had Fiji wom it would have been the biggest upset in International cup history mens ir womens. Canada meant to walk straight into the final and Fiji meant to struggle. Great to say David Rodan helping out the Fiji girls.

Biggest upset was GB beating South Africa. Previously GB have had nig nodies but lacked skill, something they seem to have addressed this year. Things seemed to have platued in South Africa since the reduction of AFL funding.

I know the 2 mentioned do but did Les actually hate our game?

Yeah I definetly think there are some players that are state level quality. There will probably be a few PNG guys that have been on rookie lists

What a shame Les Murray passed away the other day would be gold to see him anchor AFL coverage on SBS

I agree except for the top 4 or so nations. PNG, Ireland South Africa and even New Zealand have some quite good players.

funnily enough the televised the very first one which was taken a lot less seriously then now and was a lot worse standard. Belive this time it is streamed online though

is Financial reasons the reasons why they are not here this time? I notice there is no representation from Scandinavia where as previously we have had up to 3 teams from the region. Is footy struggling over there?

Who did you play for?

Yeah there not really grand finals even though titled that way. Its really 1 grand final and 4 classification games

Nauru are actually quite good have beaten much bigger countries such as GB. Little known fact is Nauru is the only other country in the world where our game is the number 1 sport (I believe its number 2 behind league in PNG).

Jason in some countries like the USA and Europe yes its going to be a lot more difficult but I think in Asia, the pacific the sub-continent and South Africa we can have a lot more success South Africa only have 3 big sports Soccer, Cricket and Rugby and the game has made some real inroads there...

The 2017 AFL international cup kicks off at Royal Park in Melbourne this Sunday. For those that don't know is basically the World cup of our great game minus Australia. The standard continues to improve and if we really believe our game is the best game in the world we need to get serious about...

Take your point. It depends on what your talking about though. Putting a team there no way but all you need to do is look at Mal Michael and Nic Nat to see the talent there. If you could get a home grown player from Fiji it would really grow interest.

I hear what yoyr saying but it could be a good starting point

I am all for growing our game but is Asia the right place? I think South Africa should be number 1. The game is already growing there and they only have a few sports so plenty of room for another. The Pacific islands are also worth exploring further. Our game is the no 2 sport in PNG and no 1...

Also Lions only have 4 Melbourne games OP the merger agreement says 6 and Easter Thursday is contracted to be at the gabba
