What an exciting prospect. Australia has had an influx of recent immigrants from Africa, Asia, South Pacific Islands, South America and Mars. Soccer, Rugby, Basketball, Cricket and Baseball were revolutionised by multiculturalism. How much improvement at AFL level will our new citizens bring over the next few decades?

    I live in an area where there are quite a lot of african immigrants and quite a lot of them are appartenty getting into footy. I'd say with in about 5-6 years there'll be at least a couple of african kids playing AFL.

    Good observation. I saw a dozen or so of them the other night, kicking the soccer ball around. Whilst I'm glad it was a ball they were kicking, I wasn't impressed that it was a soccer ball. If I had a old sherrin I would of gone back and given it to them. They're pretty quick too...

    Yes. We'll see a few in the AFL by then.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
