An AFL Supporters Association sounds like something Andy would want to avoid at all costs. Maybe now the time is ripe to try and start one. TV Deals, Rules, bullying Fans sites. There just might be an appetite out there to get it going.

I'll happily organise the Singapore sub-chapter.

You live in Singapore??? I just moved back from there!!!

I dont think it would work tho, Eyebrows just doesnt give enough of a crap about anything but money and nothing will change whilst hes there. . . can we impeach him??

There is weight in numbers. Have an association with a couple of hundred thousand members and they will generate a fair amount of media time. Once they have a media voice, Andy Baby would have no choice but to be seen to be working with the official supporters association. To ignore them would be counter productive to the AFL's PR campaign.

Everytime he mentions "The Fans", the media could turn to the official voice of "The Fans" for their opinion.

Dockergirl's support has raised an interesting point. Somebody should organize some sort of 'supporters alliance' to stop what is going on with our once great game. But I don't see how anythings going to happen unless we all just stop going to or watching the games on television and I can't see that happening.

We could all start by spreading the word to boycott the "Official" AFL site. They'd all start getting nervous if their daily/weekly hits just dropped right off.

Thanks for your thoughts and support, Dockergirl.

I just came back on and caught up with your posts.

We really need some way to boo Domestos and his cronies.

When I saw your title for this thread I thought you were offering us another defender! :hihi

It is absolute rubbish TA. Probably the worst official site for any professional sport going around. But you still have a look every now and again just in case there's something interesting.

I'm telling you I'm not going there anymore at all. They can get stuffed. I'm going to go to bigfooty instead. Sad but true.

Unfortunately I have spent a couple of frustrating hours on the AFL site - yeah, I know I said I'd never go there again!

I am researching interstate/State of Origin games and it really was a fruitless search on that site!

One time there was quite a reasonable history section - all the finals' descriptions and scores and, I'm sure, there was something there about interstate games and State Carnivals.

But try and find something now!

Oh, there is a history section there hidden under something where you'd never think of looking for it but everything, every date I punched in just bombed out.

This time I mean it - I am not going back!

This story is not going away. I'm hoping it keeps gaining momentum because it's one of the worst things the AFL has done yet. I'm going to send my own protest letter tomorrow and we'll see if I get any response. I'll post the reply if it happens.

Have to admit, their stats section is quite good.
