Dear AFLFA member,

We write to extend an invitation to attend a Fan Forum run by the AFL Fans Association at Richmond Football Club's Maurice Rioli Room in the Swinburne Centre at Punt Road Oval on Sunday, 24 June. All fans are welcome (including non-AFLFA members).

Those attending will voice their views on a range of topics, such as their experience of football, their concerns and ideas as to continued improvements to the game, now and into the future. We want to hear about how fans feel about the game, both good and bad.

Entry is free however fans are asked to register their attendance at bit.ly/AFLFA-Forum.

Format

Attendees will be seated at tables of ten people. Discussion at each table will be facilitated by a moderator who will feedback on broad questions which are aimed to stimulate discussion. A scribe will capture all discussion points.

What will we do with the feedback?

Fan feedback will be collated and provided to the AFL, media and help shape AFLFA policy.

Want to help?

We are looking for attendees who would be comfortable with being table moderators and/or scribes at the Fan Forum. If you can help, please let us know! Everyone at the AFLFA is a volunteer. You can indicate your interest in helping at the Fan Forum by responding to this email with the subject heading “Happy to Help” and we'll be in touch.

Can't come but interested in participating?

At this stage the AFLFA does not have the resources (money and personnel) to run a Fan Forum in every state, so to ensure that everyone can participate who wishes to, we will send out the questions to all interested members. You will then have 24 hours to email us back your answers. You can indicate your interest by responding to this email with the subject heading “Participate By Email”.

Thanks

Thanks to Richmond FC which has donated the venue and the Victorian Women's Trust which has helped to organise the event.

We hope to see you there or hear your thoughts via email.

Regards

Debbie Hall
Secretary,
AFL Fans' Association

I’ll be there. Sack Gil

There's just no adequate emoji for this ????????

I may be a moderator, so expect a lively and diverse discussion. Given what's transpired so far this year with umpire contact verdicts and challenges, video reviews, the impeding the mark memo from the AFL, plus all the other issues to date like the fairness of the draw, I suggest this could be an interesting afternoon's entertainment.

These things will go one of two ways.... dependent upon direction.

Good luck

Yes, I would do it - but I’m very positive about the future of the game, these days I also would put the game in front of any particular club loyalty & although I'm based in Victoria I support a national game over old Victorian VFL bias. 

IMHO the health and welfare of the players is paramount ( both during and after their playing career ) and I stand firmly against internet vitriol and “haters” - So im not sure I’m the type of supporter you would want.
