the amount of attention the media have given to country or regional areas
you would think the AFL are the first to do it :lol:

You still on the GC LeRoy? If so, good to see the gather round getting plenty of media - so successful in that respects I guess.

Re: Footy Crowds - 2024

Surprisingly reasonable crowd tonight at the Suns game- against a generally low drawing Haawthorn. Very surprised. Also for those playing at home - seems a majority Suns crowd but plenty of hawks supporters - but easily outnumbered by suns colours - lots of neutral (no colours) like me. Great news ...

Re: AFL snubs indigenous players! What a sport!!

Wasn’t the concern from the AFL at the drop in Indigenioua players - think it is down to 64 or 62 which is a lot lower than a few years ago. I thought they brought this up as a concern- that they would like it back at that previous Levrl. Is good to see the africam players of indigenious decent play...

Re: Gather Round

Penciling this in for next year me thinks. They should look to having it over a long weekend though - which would be good. My only issue is that accomodation will be through the roof. Two games in Barossa apparently next year so a trip to a few wineries would not go astray either.
