again....AFL doesn't need to have Pro-Leagues in countries to expand.....do you see rugby union  have pro leagues all around the world,

96 countries where in the Rugby World Cup qualifying, 39 of those countries from Europe....did you watch Croatia vs Netherlands Rugby World Cup qualifying, match?   no, but it happen , both countries have a National team , with out a pro League

AFL X will expand. AFL football outside of Australia, because the game will fit on a soccer ground

You are just as deluded as they are. AFL will never expand overseas, with or without this "X" nonsense. A few may see it as an amusing novelty, but it will never be taken up in a serious or large scale way.

It wont catch on simply because their sport is shit, let alone a bastardized version. If AFL was so wonderful then why is it only played in half the country. FMD I am loving this shit because this is paranoia and insecurities in the extreme. I hope they go broke trying.

If you said 25 years ago how popular football was people would now be people would think your were sokkah's equivalent of Mister Football.

If you had said 15 years ago how many kids would be playing people would laugh.

If you had said 30 years ago our top football players would earn 5 to ten times more than our top Aussie rules players they'd lock you up. 

but that has happen, not because of what the AFL did or din't do......but because football in Australia became a professional organisation in Australia, it because Frank took a shit hole organisation abd brought in a group of pro people to run FFA

it doesn't matter what the AFL does,if t wasn't  the AFL it be some other sport organisation doing it

AFL and aflX will always be a peculiar Australian game .It may be a novelty to people in other countries ,like Gallic football,handball or chasing a goats head on horseback.
But if there is even a remote chance that an amateur league is established overseas.....So what?
Do AFL types really believe this is a gateway game to suck new foreigners into AFL?

Imagine AFL tactics.....Hey we are coming to your country to rape and pillage your soccer pitches .We don't give a stuff about turning them into cow paddocks...and ffs it's Soccer!
Now clear out you wog poofters and let us kick our heavy oval balls.
Yes we know you already prefer to kick oval balls in rugby or league ,but this is dumber so maybe you will appreciate it more.



I just find this hilarious.This is a clear smoke screen for attacking Australian Football ,otherwise the only conclusion is that the AFL hierachy are engaging in mass delusion.

Yeah but youre missing the part where afl has been involved in a conspiracy against football for the last 50 years. Sure there were problems within the game... but dont give me that shit. This latest barrage from afl puppets is not the first rodeo. U been living under an eastern european rock?

20/20 was played 50 years ago....

Who by?
I remember the first game in the UK, drunks sitting in plastic paddle pools watching it and that was not 50 years ago, but that doesn't mean it wasn't played in one of the tiny amount of country's that play cricket,

As for 7 a side ARF, I think the 2 major reasons it's not played professionally anywhere else is that having 80kg men running full pelt and smashing your head with their shoulder, elbow, hip and other hard bony part; or jumping up and planting their knee between shoulder blades ( the two major selling points of ARF ), is something most people with a brain don't want to do.

I thought it was an Indian concept, but not 50 yrs ago. I haven't paid attention to cricket since 20Twenty came in and pushed the memories into dark recesses, so I could be wrong.

Until football can get leading politicians on side, it's always going to be hard...

Ms Bishop, a former Eagles board member, said the AFL invited her to the game.

"I was in Melbourne for a range of official visits and business over a period of about seven days," she told ABC radio on Thursday.

"The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the AFL are partners in sports development in the Pacific and I intend to continue to be a strong supporter of the AFL in our joint endeavours to use sport as a means of developing young people in the Pacific.

are partners in sports development in the Pacific" with Jules doing her level best to help get them there hoping, no doubt, to get another gig with her "beloved" Eagles when Tones finally pounces and ends her ministerial career.

AFL are expert rent seekers. If there is anyway they can muscle in on someone else's budget they will do it. Aid funding to poor pacific islands nations? Shit hey AFL should get in on that. I'd be shocked if the 10 cents in the dollar stays on the island after the AFL has sucked the blood out of it. They don't have any shame.

it's called competition....when you had fruit market owners running football , it was no wonder some of the fruit was falling from the back of the truck

Nah mate not so easy. This is a thread about grounds right? Heres an article that mayve already been posted here before.... and its the real truth about the history of this situation being played out for over 50 years like groundhog day (No pun intended). Not ardtho's fantasy land where its all the milk bar owners fault... heres the opening... and i implore u to read on

" The Code War 1950s' Style


There must be a united front from all Australian football clubs to halt the soccer movement.


Around Australia, and particularly in Victoria, access to (enclosed) grounds has been a troubling issue ever since people have wanted to play organised outdoor sport. As the dominant Victorian code, Australian rules has looked on protectively at the network of grounds over which it has had tenure, having established its possession of them over many years. Periodically, other sports, often soccer, have threatened the exclusivity and stability of that network of grounds.


There have been years when the tension has escalated into something resembling sustained turf wars. 1954 was as vicious as any.

The story of this footballing year opens with an incredible offer from J.U.S.T. Soccer Club to pay the local council £800 (perhaps $40,000 in today's terms) to rent Toorak Park on alternate weeks throughout the winter. The council initially rejected the offer, something which caused an outrage among ratepayers......................l"

It goes on.... but lemme guess... we have a victim mentality... and blame hard working migrants.

Is Wellington diverse?  Dont know, however this is a club that has no historical or existing link to a specific migrant group - Rusty Einstein

The negative stereotypes are perpetuated by people who either have no idea or are serving a vested interest; neither viewpoint should get anywhere near running Australian football -
