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!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
