Is not our fault your own AFL ceo has delusions of grandeur

Look it up. I will put any money that he basically said there is no other real winter sport in New Zealand after Rugby Union.

Are comments everywhere on it.

How much do you want to put on it?

if you've found a questionable quote of his then paste the website. It's not hard FFS

I've already posted some of the former NRL CEO's silly claims

What about the time Silly Gilly told the world that the Indigenous fumbling team to tour Ireland in 2013 were the first full indigenous team from Australia to tour overseas since the cricketers of the 1860,s.

When it was pointed out to him that an Aboriginal Rugby League team had toured NZ in 1973 there was typical fumblehouse silence. No correction, no apology, no acknowledgement. This is the way of the pathological liar.

The link below covers the Canberra Press Club speech Gillon Mclachlan made earlier this year. The speech covers a wide range of topics about our great game and is the first to my knowledge where the CEO actually talks about the future of the sport in a open manner.
To anybody new to the game it is recommended they view it particularly the fans from overseas.
The topics mentioned include Womens footy, NZ Development, The International Cup. It appears the AFL is going to let overseas footy grow "organically". The dictionary explanation of organically = with reference to organic structure. It basically means the status quo remains.
Anybody got any comments on the speech.

Pretty pleased to here their focus is on NZ. Dont think it is entirely true that there'll be a new stadium in 2018 for games here but he is right about their being no clear 2nd sport behind union. The All Blacks are what it is all about for all Kiwis. Super Rugby clubs and the Warriors do get ok support but nothing in comparison to them. In Auckland the Warriors get 12-18k most games which is good be NRL standards and the Blues Super Rugby side all depends on how they are going on the park. I don't think they'll ever look to get too many games here but if a stadium ever became available in Auckland they'd definitely be able to get the equivalent numbers to what the two local domestic sides achieve

Dear me. This is what Gil said: "To the best of our knowledge, the All Stars representing the AFL in International Rules against Ireland will be the first all-indigenous team to represent a national sporting code at senior level overseas since the first cricket team toured England in 1868, more than 150 years ago"

Yet he's a liar because he didnt know about a curtain raiser game of RL 4 decades ago? Was he wrong? Yes. Does that show he's a liar? Hardly

Does this post show you are a devoted cult follower that has no cognitive ability to break free from the leaders propaganda and lies. Yes.
