There isn't much positive to say about Australian football.

What irritates me about this country is everything is marketing.

Talking things up doesn't make footballers better, it just perpetuates the status quo. Australia lives in a bubble of its own unreality.

I've been around long enough to see that standard of football decline because the people running the game just take what they can get and the only thing they ever do is marketing shit to an increasingly indifferent population. Now they're going for the low hanging fruit of women's football and marketing via identity politics. Its not about the sport anymore, its lipstick on a pig.

The game peaked in the 90's and has gone backwards ever since. You at least had a player base then who were mostly coached by 1st generation ethnics who knew what they were doing.

Australia will never be good at football because it lies at the arse end of the world with no competition in its region to raise standards. People here blame NRL and ALF etc, need to look at Ireland where football is the 4th most popular sport and still shits on Australia in terms of playing standard with a quarter of the population, simply due to its location and being part of UEFA.

Look fair enough I respect you explaining yourself and get the frustration. It's the pot shots at tilio. As I said to mono and lfc and others on here the suits can't run a bath they make stupid mistakes and the a league has its faults but surely it's worth getting behind and the second division?

Partly agree that a lot of sport, and this isn't exclusively Australian, is about marketing of an event. Call me crazy but I feel the NFL has smartly moved back to a big sport focus after plying the event concept for years.

While massive with attendances, a lot of European first divisions have also become an event. What has been observed it a lot of the upper class start sniffing around when clubs go up. Go down and they disappear. I'm referring to things like the aperol spritz crowd now attending Dortmund games or how a lot of people in business casual as games after promotion is achieved.

Muscat has left his coaching job for a stint in international diplomacy after going for a walk with Albo in China.

We'll get whatever we want if we take Muscat into the room with the threat he'll two foot the negotiator.

How does a miserable person’s opinion that no wonder cares about has to do with Tilio playing for Celtic? Lol

Just odd that its presented like this? If anything, its makes a mockery of even having a salary cap if some club have millions in revenue and others dont manage to develop and to sell any players???

100%

if you're going to have a socialist franchise league then the money should be shared

the clubs after all are losing millions every season on financing the ALW

to be fair they are talking removing the cap for a fair play system

I have NEVER understood the need for a salary cap or floor in a sport where the global marketplace dictates players worth like ours...

A fair play system to protect clubs from their own greed is understandable but even that I have some reservations about (yes yes I know its the norm in many countries).... I think the ONLY limitation on clubs should be their own ambitions.... but then again I also desperately want pro/rel .... I keep forgetting "we unique" lol....
