They should go back to the original.

Will obviously have to be something that tends towards world domination but perhaps I am thinking too small.

    In all seriousness, I think there is another related issue that needs to be resolved first. What is the name of the sport? Is it "Australian Rules Football"? or "Australian Football"? or simply "AFL"?  In recent years there seems to have been a drift to calling it "AFL", but in so doing it becomes confused when referring to the sport itself in other circumstances. For example, does Casey, a VFL team, play AFL? What about the Essendon District Football League? or TAC cup (or whatever it's called now) or school footy? What game are they playing? Is it logical to play a game called by an abbreviation which means "Australian Football League" when the League is actually the administrative body?

    If I were at AFL HQ I'd want the question of product name resolved before worrying about a fresh, new logo.

    Did they ever resolve the ownership of afl.com.

    IIRC correctly it was originally registered by a domain name miner. A quick google search shows a site offering the domain name for sale.

    Or they could have a competition, and give $1,000 to every junior club in the country. I know mine could make good use of that sort of money.

    Gil himself calls it "AFL" football. He doesn't care.

    In our latest episode of continual shark jumping, the AFL has chosen to ignore grass roots footy again, preferring to chase new logos that no-one is crying out for.

    Coming hard on the heels of actually spending time at the commission discussing whether to recognise ancient VFA flags as VFL/AFL flags (an initiative got up by the Geelong president which will handily award the Cats another 6 flags, not that that would influence his thinkinh). Meanwhile umpiring standards are as low as anyone can remember, and the match review process is a travesty.

    Gil doesn't care.

    Unbelievable!!

    We can’t even secure a new training base and the AFL want a new Logo. 

    What a joke

    Wish there was a breakaway league so we could forget these cowboys and rule changers...

    Australian Rules Football. Correct anyone who refers to the sport as AFL, and treat them like heathens from then on.

    Forget it Poita,  the AFL couldn't give a [censored] about grassroots football clubs.

    I agree with this, and expect the same reaction as you get when telling soccer fans that it's not "football", it's "association football".

    ("soccer" being an abbreviation of "association".)

    Where's the revenue from grassroots football? The economic rationalists at AFL house can't see the value in it.

    I say they just leave it as a rolling logo of the current rule-of-the-week written out in Comic sans, preceded by the words "A game where…" and followed by the words "I'd like to see that!" Example provided for effect (you can imagine the font):

    A game where…

    players entering the protected zone must teleport fifteen (15)
    metres away instantaneously or be shot at dawn.

    I'd like to see that!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
