I just hope that those Perth-Wees are a bit more respectful of the home team on this occasion

We should hold up a "welcome home" banner naming all the guys coming back

What needs to be done is proper integration of the areas involved in the league with one another, to truly give it the feeling of an "our competition" despite the its international nature. True brand recognition of the rest of the the teams in the competition, as though they are "local" rivals...

Good FTA production and the type of promotion we've seen in Perth, in those other franchise areas, will be a good start. Damn! It's a reason why Sri Lanka is such a conundrum. They would be a great TV product, packed houses in Kandy and Colombo, of which I have no doubt would occur with the...

Soccer had a similar problem in the 80s and 90s, kept thinking they needed appointees from foreign soccer associations to fix the game here. They were wrong, the answer was in their own backyard; they were living in one of the most successful and efficient sporting nations in the world, the...

Force Fiji game available for download: here

Women's game was good, they like to throw it around a bit. Lots more space to run, real old-fashioned "backs vs backs" stuff; and plenty of one-handed offloads from the forwards.

They exist as feeders for the AFL; but in actuality the real feeders are junior clubs, high schools and the national draft. I would say that the WAFL clubs now exist as your typical lower-level comp, that is, full of players who aren't up to AFL standard or players brought in from or dropped...

Indeed, quite a kerfuffle was caused by the local AFL establishment, the WAFC, when the 'rights of control' for the new Perth stadium were not given to them. They even went so far as to threaten to ban AFL from the ground and keep using Subiaco Oval. The bluff was called of course, but you have...

Women's AFL should play AFLX instead.

Melbourne Blues could wear lovely navy blue and white hoops

New South Wales Blues? Has a ring to it.

I wonder if this could be a precursor into bringing Super Rugby and the Pro 14 together into a situation similar like Major League Baseball? Two separate leagues which only interact come finals time.* Keep the majority of the season's regular matches in the same timezone, then cross over for the...

Only one from Chile and two from Brazil? Is this a population-over-quality decision, or has Brazil gotten better than Chile in rugby recently?

I bought up the last of the chicken tikka at the curry stall and left by then.

They kept talking about there being a surprise at the ground after the match, was it a new signing or just more Wolfmother?

I think it was to allow for the A-League Grand Final to be played at the SFS, even though it ended up in Newcastle.

Would love it if Teikyo University said "bugger it!" and created a professional old boys club, now that would have some WSR potential right there! Wouldn't mind seeing a combined Kyushu franchise if possible, or if any of the Nippon Pro Yakyuu Baseball clubs would be interested in opening a...

That was fun! Hope we get a similar crowd next week!

Yes indeed! Very happy with that! :D
