Not everything has to be international you know

Any pro players/group have a right to more when your governed by mis handling ivory towers be it any sport mind you.
I agree, in the mean time a pro needs to focus on their payed job.
The point re gafl is not that it gets more bums on seats be it nrl/aru for eg but that too much corporate dollars are squandered purely due to cable/fox contracts at the expense of other sports suffering down to grass roots where its needed to encourage future Youth development.
The numbers are far larger for kids doing other sports in the big picture incl Norms fav basketball.
gafl play dirty to stifle any sport gaining traction in this small country therefore were getting weaker in sports that do have more exposure outside instead of insular concentration. They are worried of any sport and No the relevance is more so at the bottom end of our nation and the minority across.
Melb papers alone are just as the abc and their lefty down your throat politics, crap journalism.
