The Football Australia Thread

[erogenouszone]

Just in case you have no idea who is responsible for football in Australia.

3 paper shufflers or 3 blind mice.
This cast me back to the article posted
Congress is Football Australia’s national voting body.

It is responsible for:

• electing the Board
• approving constitutional changes
• voting on major governance reform

It does not run football day to day.

But it helps decide who does......<<<< oh yer thats right 99 other votes lead where we're going ?????? hello where are we going ? haha

• approving constitutional changes
• voting on major governance reform

That's all the above actually do to be fair.

yes for sure but they could impose more and leverage their position over the voters to at least "Think,Listen" influence.
I'm not going to accept thats all they can do - this is not a corporate as we know it its a National sport that needs guidance/direction/directives/ideas/push for the better of the game because its packs and packs of volenteers etc involved, not people on FA/Feds salaries.
Do you sit in that position and wonder why your voting bodies are not doing more to improve the game after seeing countless reports after reports.
The costs burdens etc.
Doesn't mean all they do is sit in their office and talk about NT revenue.
You posted them up to show/remind who the ghosts are......

For eg EZ, who can tells us what else the FA have done in bold below barring the obvious tasks down to grass roots.
I have not noticed one thing in my Association barring the efforts by local clubs lobbying their local councils yaddayadda the usual carrying your own weight.

"Football Australia (FA) acts as the governing body for soccer (football) in Australia, responsible for the overarching administration, national teams, and strategy of the sport. While the professional leagues (A-Leagues) became independent in 2021, Football Australia still holds regulatory oversight and manages all levels below professional, including grassroots, coaching, and referees."

Whilst James Johnson was at FA he at least tried to help the APL in the operating of the A Leagues.
In an interview he had with Simon Hill he said that his role in Canadian football was the equivalent of heading up the FA, APL and Paramount together. That indicates to me what he would have liked to have done here, obviously he was blocked and so took his ideas to Canada.

yes agree lib, I feel its a huge shame he decided to go like you do but when you've kept hitting the brick walls when you really want to instigate changes and a another offer comes up you'd be a mug not taking it eh.
I recall the JJ interview, bitter sweet and I'd say he'd feel the same.
Canada was/is ripe for changes - I hope he's doing well for himself for again Canada being so merican influenced sport wise football would have its challenges - even the canadian MLS franchise is in trouble I've read talks of re location its that bad.
