Take your issue up with them. They must give accurate descriptions of how they came up with the figures.

But all things considered, whether in schools, auskick, or club level, ARs participation is at record levels. :wink:

my issue with who .. the ABS ?
theres no doubt the ABS figure is correct ... its says 223K in 2010
no doubt theres been a rise in this number in the last 2 years
as almost all sports have had a rise as well
no
its that figure the VFL pulled out of its @rse .. thats the problem
its an almost hilarious ..laughable figure
the only people who believe that number.. are the baaaaing merinos who follow your sport :lol: :lol: :lol:

K :wink:

Aren't the AFLs and ABS figures similar?

You might want to check that again Dave. I think you have participation numbers mixed up with registered player numbers.

Dave, did you actually read the report or did you just skim through it looking for random figures?

223,700 was the number of MALE CHILDREN playing Australian Football in 2009-10.

You'd almost think there was another group of sporting participants.....what are they called again? God, it's on the tip of my tongue! Not children, the other things...the things that children grow up into....

I wonder....I wonder if table 14.13 measures the participation numbers of these.....'non-children', these people over the age of 15. Adults! That's the term I was looking for! Adults.

223,700 male children, 227,600 male adults. So 450kish not including female adults or children, many of whom participate in Auskick. Given the increases in playing numbers (especially among women) that have been described in 2010, 2011, and now 2012, yes, I think it's plausible that numbers across all age groups and genders have increased to their current figure.

Dave, I don't like to call you names because of your cognitive disabilities, but you Sir, are a toilet.
