As I said, the AFL aim high which I am perfectly comfortable with.
So basically you claimed it was a formal mission statement when you had no evidence or link. If only the BS files weren't a crock of BS you'd be sending yourself straight there on this one Xman! Ahh helloooo Xman, in front of each comment dumbchook demetriou stated WE WILL

The AFL would easily win crowds and memberships, and probably revenue. :D
If rugby union and League joined together as one game it would outstrip the AFL in crowds, money with those to alone.
Stop making pledges for Keven shoddy and Demetruio mate its getting to your head.
The AFL get over double the crowds of RL!
The AFL earn around double the Revenue of RL!
For your comment to be true RU would have to draw at least the same crowds and earn the same revenue as RL! We both know that isn't true don't we!
The comments are consistent with a document similar to a mission statement. If you can't see that you're dumber than I thought. You asked for proof that it was. I can't provide any because there is no link. However, you cannot prove it was not an extract from a mission statement either!King-Eliagh wrote:What a shocking post!Xman wrote:There is no link to the original source therefore it is impossible to say whether or not it was an extract from a mission statement.

His comments are "not realisticall achieveable"?
Save face and abort your pathetic 'mission' here Xma'am. Your gettin a whalopin! :D
The crowd figures, membership figures, and revenue figures are all well known and have been posted on this site many times. They favour the AFL by a factor of two or more.eelofwest wrote:You do realise that you have to give us hard evidence to backup your claim that AFL is bigger then Rugby union and Rugby League togeather?Xman wrote:What?eelofwest wrote:Xman you think join the Aleague, NRL and Rugby super 15 and AFL is still in front?

And after you are done there then you have to give us evidence that the AFL is bigger then Rugby union, league and Soccer put togeather as you stated.... i feel a BS point coming on for you XMAN.
The memberships are well known. The NRL have around 200k. http://www.rugbyleague.com.au/nrl/2011_ ... e_game.pdf. The AFL around 650k. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/all-t ... 6097567406On the same day nominations for the commission closed, the AFL released figures that reinforced its standing as Australian sport's financial powerhouse. Among the more damning statistics were these:
* The AFL's revenue for 2010 was roughly double the NRL's at $335. 8 million -- the NRL's is roughly $170m;
* The AFL handed out more than $140m to its clubs -- the NRL gave its clubs just over $55m, although that figure does not include spending on marketing, education and welfare, and travel costs;
* The AFL's membership in 2010 was 614,251 -- the NRL's was 144,000, although again this is an area rugby league has finally recognised as a money spinner;
* Total attendance across the AFL also eclipsed the NRL -- more than 7.4 million people attended an AFL game last year. The NRL's total attendance was about 3.9 million.
NRL clubs yesterday acknowledged the massive financial gulf between the two sports but claimed it represented an opportunity rather than a cause for major concern.

No you fukkin cant can you. And you wanna know why? Because it wasnt a mission statement, it was a set of ridiculous "pledges" as beaussie staed it was in the opening post. Pledges that were completely unachievable, hilarious and, if spoken to a shrink, would be classified as clinically insane. That's your leader Xman, an unrealistic hilarious nutjob. Now deal with it! xman wrote:KE, why is an even comp important?

THE Rod Laver Arena is an odd spot for football to draw a line in the sand, if not the Rebound Ace. But the home of the Australian Open was the venue for AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou to issue a mission statement on the run.

Ah yeah, it is!King-Eliagh wrote:A mission statement "on the run" is not a mission statement testicle brains. Its a set of pledges, as the article you linked clearly refers them to
A mission statement is a formal document, usually legislated by the board of an organisation, it doesnt happen "on the run" Xman you silly surface level git. Demetrious dribble was simply undocumented words spouted from an "unrealistic hilarious nutjob"
Case proven. We await Xman to dig himself a deeper hole
it's a mission statement, on the run! :P http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_statementA mission statement is a statement of the purpose of a company or organization. The mission statement should guide the actions of the organization, spell out its overall goal, provide a path, and guide decision-making. It provides "the framework or context within which the company's strategies are formulated.
http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newLDR_90.htmA Mission Statement defines the organization's purpose and primary objectives. Its prime function is internal – to define the key measure or measures of the organization's success – and its prime audience is the leadership team and stockholders.

The pledge was made 7 years agoMarkZZZ wrote:"We will ensure that no club is disadvantaged by financial stresses, and that the 16-club competition will be with us forever."
last time I looked there was 18 teams in the AFL comp or am I missing something.
Is this statement 2 years old is is it a prediction of the number of teams playing AFL in the future.
