+x+xAAFC Retweeted Football Australia AAFC added, Jesus that's a bit of a jab throwing in a jewish expression addressing Lowy. Not good form at all. It's an expression of disbelief, delivered to a Jewish family... More of a piss-take than anything. You've had Lowy twisting and distorting the facts, presenting a near completely false picture of the footballing world we're in at the moment, desperately trying to hold onto power whilst being critical of others for wanting some power... He's lashed out at everyone and absolved his cadre of all sins. And you feel a little piss-take is poor form?

+x+xAAFC Retweeted Football Australia AAFC added, Slippery snake needed to go. It just seems like classic FFA tactics. AAFC talked with Gallop, but Lowy says something else. O'Rouke says something about A-League, Gallop says opposite Lowy says something about league/NT Galllop or O'Rouke says opposite They have been doing it for years. One says something positive than another knocks it down or vice versa.

@ FFF Scott21
Thanks for sharing that (is there a link?).
Allowing for the fact it’s still work in progress there’s some really good stuff in there. There’s a few questionable things like why the need for 49% of club ownership by the competition (does that change if they get promoted or relegated?) and some communism era little rules like clubs only keep 90% of merchandise revenues not 100% (I know we won’t be talking about much in dollar terms but that 10% going to a central pot won’t make much difference either, why not let clubs retain 100%?)
But overall it’s looking good - I’d hope the FFA/HAL can support with some funding.
I’d also like to see the Championship clubs come in to the FFA Cup at the same time as the HAL clubs

+xhow will we be any more ready for a 2nd division in 2020 than 2019, or 2018. there no 3 year planning process. just get the teams together and do it. if you've agreed its worthwhile stop wasting time. we don't have time. Exactly. The same with expansion or any meaningful action for that matter. Stupid shit like heritage round, meaningless derbies and fucking Star Trek rounds are easy to do because they are examples of doing nothing. Instead of putting one's ass on the line the game has been subjected to meaningless gimmicks that solve very little. We need an actual plan in place which is far as I'm concerned, the AAFC are actually doing.

Association of Australian Football Clubs (AAFC) Chairman Rabieh Krayem says he left his meeting on Tuesday with David Gallop and his executives content with progress made, but no introduction date for the new competition was disclosed. The AAFC said “historic next steps” were taken towards introducing a national second tier at the meeting, the first of its kind between the organisation and head office. At the meeting, the AAFC discussed its proposal for the competition coined ‘The Championship’ and key elements, including structure and governance, surrounding it. RELATED: “A long time coming” – Goals were bound to flow for Central Coast Mariners, Danny De Silva says “The meeting was quite robust and the pleasing aspect was there wasn’t any discussion about that they don’t support the Championship,” Krayem said on Wednesday’s Daily Football Show. “They’ve had their questions like others have about certain parts of the proposal that we’ve put together. “The end will result will be, after you’ve spoken to a whole group of people, you’ll end up with a model that will meet the criteria that is required. “The meeting was robust, it was challenging … the positive is that when we walked away, the FFA showed a commitment to allocate some resources to work within our group, to work to a final model.” A ‘Championship Development Team’ is expected to be unveiled next week, comprising FFA personnel as well as representatives from the state federations. FFA also committed funding, and while no number has been put to that, Krayem said he was pleased by the injection of resources. “I think it’s not about funding, it’s about the resources … Our plan that we put out back in October had a consultation process between November and March,” he said. “We’ve spoken to some of the stakeholders about them being involved in the consultation process. “Through David Gallop, they’ve committed to applying resources within his organisation that could come on the team, as well as Football Victoria and Football New South Wales. “The PFA plays a part as does the A-League, so the idea is to get a group of people that can work through the consultation process to listen to the suggestions, consult with people and develop a model from what we’ve started to a model FFA have to approve.” Goal Australia reported on Tuesday that such a competition was set to be rolled out by 2020. An initial statement issued by the AAFC late in October suggested the target time of introduction was the 2019-20 season. However, Krayem insisted there was no fixed date for the beginning of the Championship. “The date wasn’t discussed,” Krayem added. “Yesterday, we weren’t worried about that. “It was about the consultation process that will develop and out of that will lead to further timing. “The date was left open.”

+xGallop has the midas touch. Upon agreeing to a second division the existing plans were instantaneously delayed by a year. He touches something and it... it's just.... delayed Also, something entirely unrelated.... The 3 rules of defence law 1) delay 2) delay 3) delay His pay should be delayed. And a strike action. All Footballers and coaches go on strike.

It happens from time to time. One of the 90s stars of the AFL Anthony Modra crossed over from football when he was about 15 years old. Another example I can think of is former Melbourne Demons player Brad Green. He was playing football in Tassie and was scouted by Manchester United, attended a training camp then was offered a lower div contract with Walsall. AFAIK he never played a game in England and went back to Australia where he was drafted at 18.
If anything it's indicative of the relevant skills required of football and aussie rules. I can't think of any examples of an AFL player crossing to football and getting a pro contract.
Also, AFL has a 3 tiered system for contracts. Main roster, rookie, then category B rookie. The cat B is specifically for athletes who have never played competitive aussie rules. They reserve that spot for people who are fark off athletes at anything and try to develop them as project players. This guy would be a standard rookie because he has played the game.
AFL rookies earn less than a HAL player. If this guy saw his best opportunity taking a rookie spot in AFL he probably wasn't a superstar in the making. The AFL will always spin its successes though.

Wouldn't read too much into it. How many blokes have you heard on the training ground say that they once had trials at x, y & z. He seems too tall as well to make a massive career of it.

This is an AFL article and open to interpretation. AFL draft 2017: Soccer prodigy turned ruckman Tony Olango joins Eagles as a rookieCraig O’Donoghue MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - OCTOBER 08: Tony Olango runs sprints during the NAB AFL Draft Combine at Etihad Stadium on October 08, 2016 in Melbourne, Australia. (Photo by Adam Trafford/AFL Media)West Coast have selected two West Australians and an athletic Northern Territory ruckman who previously excelled at soccer during Monday’s rookie draft. The Eagles chose South Fremantle’s Ryan Burrows with their first pick. Burrows is a 186cm and 80kg half-forward who kicked 10 goals from 12 colts games. He didn’t join South Fremantle until early in the season and didn’t get an opportunity until round 10. But he made a quick impact and kicked four goals from 20 disposals during his fifth game. Northern Territory ruckman Tony Olango is also an Eagle, as flagged last week.
The 19-year-old was discovered by Northern Territory Football League side St Mary’s soon after returning from a three-month trial with Scottish soccer giants Rangers in 2014. He later joined Hawthorn’s Next Generation Academy.

Now of course this could be an indication about what it takes to make Rangers and what it takes to make the Eagles.
Without a 2nd division pathway, even in NT, it is easy to lose players to other sports and just simply life.
I know nothing of this player, whether he would have been a visa player or is domestic.
But, do Rangers just take in players who are tall? Surely he must of had some football skill.

+x3 Relegation spots - 14th, 15th, 16th relegated NPL3 promotion spots (Promotion structure) For this to work nsw and nnsw would have to merge. - NSW (winner of playoff is promoted)- VIC (winner of playoff is promoted)- QLD (winner of playoff is promoted) -TAS (winner of playoff is promoted) - SA/NT(winner of playoff is promoted)- WA (winner of playoff is promoted)For example ( 2 legs )QLD VS SANSW VS WATAS VS VICWinner of each match is promoted. Kind of like the npl final series now, except last 3 teams are promoted. Then promotion relegation below npl as existing. The first part all looks good. But with relegation from 2nd div to npl, 3 teams is just too many, i think it should be either 1 or max 2 promoted. also, nnsw and nsw will never merge. they should just keep the same end of season champions tournament they have now and promote the winning team and maybe the runner up.

Statement of intent from Adelaide City. http://adelaidecityfc.com.au/club-statement-adelaide-city-fc-and-national-competition/Adelaide City FC is a football club with a grand history of endeavor and success. It’s journey, and that of it’s supporters, has been filled with passion and commitment. From humble post war beginnings, the club provided friendship and purpose, and with roots driven deep in southern soil, grew to become a familiar brand on the Australian sporting landscape. Over its 70 year lifespan, it has been woven into the fabric of Australian football. Today it sits at the pinnacle of its state’s footballing clubs, and amongst a handful of clubs nationally who are positioned just outside the ten team 1st division competition. Adelaide City FC will always strive to compete at the highest level possible, and aims to return to national competition. It’s playing base of over 50 teams, high calibre championship winning senior men’s and women’s teams, and prudent business focused management group, has positioned the club well for the next level. The current status of the sport in Australia indicates a broad willingness to further develop the game through expansion of national competition, whether this be increasing the number of teams in the 1st division A-League, introduction of a 2nd division “B-League”, a combination of both, or another model. Adelaide City FC is making this statement now, because real options, with an organised approach, are beginning to emerge for consideration as to how this may take shape, including that put forward by the Association of Australian Football Clubs (AAFC) for a B-League, or ‘Championship’. Adelaide City FC is taking action regarding proposed pathways forward, but will do so with appropriate and thorough due diligence in its next steps, and all future steps moving towards the national goal. The club will work to understand the detail of all and any proposals and models presented, and operate with all parties, including Football Federation Australia, Football Federation South Australia, Association of Australian Football Clubs, and fellow clubs, to this end. Adelaide City FC seeks involvement in competition which has the blessing of Football Federation Australia. There is much to be done before further expansion of national competition becomes reality, but the mood for progress is real. Adelaide City FC will be active in this environment, but with a firm hand on the rudder of reason, prudence, and composure, and will not risk its future to achieve a return to the highest level.
