    I won't be holding my breath! Would be nice to receive credit for the idea but the AFL is run by lawyers...

    The Grand Final should be hosted at a neutral venue

    I can't be bothered wading through 16 pages so it may have been said, but... The AFL runs a business. The AFL have a contractual obligation until 2032 to play the Grand Final at the MCG, so nothing will change before then. I doubt it will change after then as: 1. The AFL has poor leverage...

    Swans told to end COLA - OR be banned from trading in players for 2 years

    It's neither, so you don't see. I think any shock is more to do with the realisation that the jig is (almost) up.

    Swans told to end COLA - OR be banned from trading in players for 2 years

    You go girl, go challenge the AFL it's not legal and bye-bye COLA tomorrow... I don't think the Swans will be running to court.

    AFL presser at 10am - Demetriou gone. Keep in all in here people.

    Nah I disagree. The VFL was a mess financially in the 80s. It required the Commission to be formed. Even after that a number of clubs had some extremely serious financial issues. All it takes is poor leadership/management and a few bad decisions and things can go pear shaped. I hope Brian Cook...

    Given that October/November are all about player movements (FA, trades, drafts, etc.) the AFL could get exposure 12 months of the year. There is a risk of saturation/over-saturation but given they like $$$ I'm guessing being in the papers 12 months of the year means more $$$. My initial...

    Soccer is unlikely to be any more of a threat than basketball. All the good players leave and you watch second-graders locally. I had previously thought up of a six-a-side competition on a soccer pitch dimensions (though still an oval) as a method for pre-season training, which could be...

    2 years on, what do you think of the Giants branding?

    Colours - very good, will probably evolve a bit like with Freo. Orange is a great colour and stands out (think of Dutch football team). It is distinctive when compared to other AFL clubs. Guernsey design - so so. I have a feeling they will eventually drop the "G" for a simpler design. Again, I...
