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: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
