+x+xJust picturing all of the players realising they no longer need to buy their SO a new outfit for the evening. "The Australian Professional Leagues (APL) have chosen to tone down this season's Dolan-Warren celebrations, which are usually held in the lead-up to A-League Men grand final week at a glitzy ceremony" "We've had some fantastic events over the years - of all different variety - but this year we wanted to bring the awards closer to fans and give them a platform to be celebrated during the biggest games of the year." "Other awards will be announced digitally" hahahahahaha the marketing spin is strong with these guys... hahahahahah Yes love that spin

+x+x+xA-Leagues turn to TikTok in bid to ‘supercharge’ football’s appeal to younger fans
Our job is to bring in new fans into the top of the funnel.” Garcia said one of the strengths of the A-Leagues is the passion at the bottom of its “funnel”, a marketing metaphor where a wide array of casual fans at the top are funnelled towards being more committed at the bottom. “We [the APL] are going to be very ‘top of funnel-focused’ as we go forward. As an example, that could be about doing campaigns on TikTok – which we will do by the way – because we know that young fans consume there, and they are new fans we can pull in,” he said. “Modern Australia, this young fan base, that’s going to become really important.” TikTok Australia’s general manager for business Brett Armstrong said the platform would “continue to work with the A-League”.

Wasn't Yoshi sent into the mouth of the funnel a few years ago? how did that pan out? He mysteriously disappeared as soon as that season started. It's like he was a paid actor or something.... hahahaha poor kid, I bet he is in a basement somewhere reading all these comments and plotting his revenge.. Stay Golden Yoshi.

+xHaving paid staff to conduct an off field review in 2023 and come up with the idea that making 'Number of wins" more important than "Goal Difference" in League tie-break APL have now conducted another review and decided that last years change didn't actually "enable the most compelling product on the pitch" They have now decided to reverse that decision and come back to what the rest of the world worked out long ago No wonder half of them were sacked, clearly just doing shit to look busy https://aleagues.com.au/news/a-leagues-rules-regulations-confirmed-2024-25-season-ladder-sorting-change/ The idiots would make the goals wider if they could.

Despite the APL being as skint as the inhabitants of the Matthew Talbot Hostel the on field product is ironically better than it's ever been and gets better every season.
No thank to the fucking corporate mongs who are attempting to bankrupt the game.

+xConroy and Garcia were quick to press a view that the impacts of a reduction in club grants didn't have to be detrimental to the on-field product.
Central Coast Mariners, it was observed, were closest to the salary floor in the A-League Men last season but still achieved a historic treble of a premiership, an AFC Cup, and a second straight title.
They also indicated that most -- if not all -- the clubs' existing commitments meant they had already met the salary floor for the coming season, and that none had indicated they would experience any sort of existential peril as a result of the cuts. That’s their version, obviously the man paying the bills at the Mariners doesn’t feel the same way.

+xSimon Hill a little cranky that the APL ducked the chance to answer a bunch of pertinent questions Spotify linkApple Yeah they always dodge question time. I'm not sure they've ever answered the call on that show, don't help themselves sometimes. Maybe they don't want to put their foot in it on the eve of kickoff haha.

+xYeah, that was a huge cop out by the APL. Kinda disgusting how they treated the awards. And that’s our so called leading Pro body desperate to grow the game. Woeful but good luck to them theirs and their supporters cross to bare.

+x+x+xThey did a good job with all access and I'm pretty sure they do the AFLW. Could be a good thing, plus better than working with a start up that has no other clients... Thats what we ALL said when Channel 7 bought the rights to broadcast the NSL. hahahahahahahahahahahah yer the afl aligned station for how long. You see this is where/why I loath this POS McGuire, two faced P who has brandished our game over so so many years, belittled it, daggers in the back, joked about it, though where there's a $$ he's all who wants to be a millionaire man. How can you trust this P whilst he's in the Chairs seat. Its like Lowy having put in ARU/NRL/afl flog CEO's in the past. APL your idiots but not surprised, sure easier making a tie with this known political rich flog due to your budget restrictions instead of working with smaller start up crowd who would bleed doing the best they can for you and you have them in your pocket, whereas ol P Eddie sit in his Chair giving only so much for the pass tick but not more to keep it under control. I agree with everything you say there, but realistically, I don't think there's much they can do here on their end with this deal to fuck us over. Essentially it's a contract to provide cameras and operators to 10 to cover the A-League, if I understand correctly.

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xIt's only racist when skips call me a name that riles me, because it's just a name to them! Any chance we'll ever grow up? Success for our never ending search for recognition as a sport of the people, will it come? We won't even take a moment to celebrate this country's most popular sporting team ever? Go Tillies? Let's hope with the release of the NST start details we can find more hate to bring. Yay!! No need to wait, some are already digging up the Bradley Report from the 90s... hahahahahahaha I hope you don't mean me? It wasn't posted to be hateful. We are like rats fighting over a decaying piece of cheese. Brilliant post. That line got me. It reminds me of the saying, "If you treat them like animals, they'll behave like animals". When there's only that decaying piece of cheese to go around, it's man against man out of desperation. Would it be different if we had endless government funding like AFL and PNG-NRL? I'd like to hope so. in short Guus... YES! What a sliding doors moment for our sport the Great War proved to be. Despite the bullshit narrative AFL manages to propagate down here, Soccer teams all round Australia sent more players to die in the mud of Ypres and the dust of Gallipoli than there where even players in VFL at the time (a comp that continued playing throughout the war btw, so much for their ANZAC spirit eh?) Oh what COULD have been? Can you picture a footballing history in this country if the brilliant Anglo pioneering clubs in Melbourne, the Hunter, QLD, Perth, Sydney where NOT decimated of players and grew a national league in the interwar period? Can you imagen the masses of Starving Southern Euro migrants coming to this country post war and finding a strong football league and clubs??? Shit they wouldn't have had to start Hellas and Croatia and Juve, they would have rubbed there hands together in glee and said lets get stuck in lads and shows these guys what we can do... we cant speak the language yet but we can all love the "sokkah".... https://www.footballvictoria.com.au/news/last-dockerty-cup-great-war WWI decimated football here, maybe set it back half a century. But forever behind the pack, as you said, as the other codes that kept playing. I hope one day somebody in the media can piece it all together and give the history the attention it deserves. Meanwhile, those loyal and patriotic VFL clubs during WWI... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1916_VFL_season- Carlton, Collingwood, Fitzroy, and Richmond had each volunteered to devote a significant proportion of their 1916 gate receipts to what were known as Patriotic Funds and also conduct a number of special fundraising activities; however, in June 1917, an audit by the VFL of the money that each club's "patriotic fundraising" had delivered over to the State War Council disclosed that the four clubs, which had appeared to all and sundry to be suffering considerable financial distress during the 1916 season due to the reduction in gate receipts, etc., had apparently discovered that their fundraising had involved an extraordinarily large amount of "expenses". From its recorded "patriotic fundraising" receipts of £918 (equivalent to $52,343 in 2022), Fitzroy could only deliver £152 (equivalent to $8,667 in 2022) after "expenses"; Collingwood, £40 (equivalent to $2,281 in 2022) from £664 (equivalent to $37,860 in 2022); Richmond, £90 (equivalent to $5,132 in 2022) from £614 (equivalent to $35,009 in 2022); and Carlton, nothing at all from £884 (equivalent to $50,404 in 2022). The State War Council censured the clubs, and appointed its own supervisors to oversee the clubs' fundraising in 1917.
That's one of the worst stories I've read! And Collingwood play on ANZAC Day, how pathetic. EXACTLY but nobody ever holds them to account... We are too busy fighting amongst ourselves. All these podasters and content creators waffling on about garbage... Not one of them makes a 10 min video on how UN_Australian the AFL truly is? Would help footballs cause a million times more than Star Wars round I reckon :P Quite a number of those ⚽️ influencer/podcaster-types also follow AFL/NRL w/nary a feeling of conflicted loyalties, so ‘tis be asking way too much of them dare I say. And anyway it’s much too late for all that now; the cultural-programming’s already set in stone. Telling an AFL tragic about 🇦🇺⚽️‘s contribution to the WWI war-effort would be met with disbelief at best and incredulous ridicule at worst, like you’re telling them about some parallel-universe alternate history..
