Well here it is the long awaited third and final instalment of my alternate reality portfolio, I had upgraded my laptop during the time since Part 2 was finished, and I did lose some of my planned stuff, but hopefully as I can, I will upload more of this. Also I have changed the original idea from this being in 2040 to 2050.
The year is 2050, the Australian sporting landscape has dramatically shifted within the last 60 years. Domestic national competitions are thriving, the NRL now has 24 teams, the NBL has boomed into a ultra competitive 12 team league, The BBL has drawn in viewership numbers that have expanded their league to 10 and the A-league now has 24 teams competing across two divisions. All of this boosted in recent times by 2032 Olympics in South East Queensland and the 2038 Commonwealth Games in Perth and the impending 2050 Commonwealth Games in Sydney.
But enough about those other sports, The AFL has maintained it's status as "Australia's Favourite Sporting Competition". With attendances at high levels, and viewership on t.v and mobile devices reaching ridiculous numbers, the money involved with sponsorship and broadcast deals constantly climbing, all of the 24 AFL clubs have posted profits constantly which has allowed them set up state of the art training and administration facilities, as well as boosting funding for 'Next Generation Academies", and allowing the AFLW players to be paid 88 cents to the dollar of what their male counterparts earn to final turn the competition into a full professional league.
Looking at the how the landscape has changed since 1996, the NEIP's work has been incredibly successful, with them disbanding in 2020 after expanding the league to 26 teams (at the time), the game has grown to levels something that would have been laughed at in 1990.
