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 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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
