What is the normal AFL practices for clubs in getting new players?
Q. what is the AFL rules, ways or processes in getting new players for clubs? Is it normal for a club to offer a player to train, and during the trainning period (before any employment contracts were signed), the player injured himself by taking certain medicines or drugs, then the club terminate any further training? In such case, is there any contracts between the club and player? If the player cannot play any games for 12 months, does the club owe any obligations to the player or vice versa? Any similar cases happened before?

A. In the AFL, they have a system called the draft. You get picks depending on where you finish on the ladder at the end of the season, so 16th gets pick 1, 15th gets pick 2 etc. They have a rule called the "Priority Pick". If a team wins accumulates 20.5 points in a season (5 wins=20 points) they get another pick. if the team that finishes bottom wins 3 games for the year, they get picks 1,17 and every subsequent pick is based on whether another team gets a priority pick. A team may get 1,17,33,50 etc. Draft picks can be traded for a player already on a list. There is two draft systems, the nab afl rookie draft where players from U/18's and reserve teams chosen by the AFL are picked by the clubs. Any listed player who is out of contract or a… [cont.]

How long will it be before the AFL administrators get the game's rules right?
Q. Aussie Rules has been going for 150 years now. Now the main competition is the AFL & it's administrators make new rules. When are they going to stop tampering with the rules? Look at the recent interchange farce. There is an old adage that goes somthing along the lines of, "If it ain't broken, don't fix it!" Do you see the rugby codes dramatically changing their rules every year - even mid-year? The answer is a resounding NO.

A. As you are a Rugby League supporter, normally i wouldn't agree with anything you say, but seeing as you asked a pretty serious question, I totally agree with you. This is the kinda thing which you Rugby Leagiuns can ask 'why' although as Rugby League is celebrating it's hundreadth year, you think, their have been hardly any rules changed and with the AFL only celebrating 50 more years, this contreversial change can only meen one thing, revenge. The League committy could ruin the AFL's dream by only one click of the finger, they can just say, " No, weve decided too keep ANZ stadium" but all that woould do is stuff up the Leagues money problems, but cmon Australian football committies, THINK, long answer cut short, step up AFL.

What do you think of AFL footballer Kouta as a Gladiator?
Q. He is to go under the name of Kouta the Greek God, & wear the Big V, in the coming C7 production of Gladiators. That show is about as credible as professional wrestling. Anthony Koutoufides should therefore fit in very well because he has always been a bit of a poser. In fact most AFL footballers are up themselves.

With nearly as many umpires on the field as players, & double the amount of cameras, a player only has to say 'boo' & he gets rubbed out. The game has lost all the muscle & the bit of biff that went on. Not many players reach 30 years of age nowdays - the teams are full of kids because it is less a contact sport than basketball is. The umps pull the game up as much as is done in netball! The powers to be don't want men involved - they are pandering to the female audience. They have female umpires; female boundary riders; female sports presenters...soon it will be female players!

What is the worst umpiring blunder you have seen at a non AFL game?
Q. (I asked this earlier, but deleted due to 4 spam answers) I am talking non AFL here - so I mean in state leagues, local comps, junior games etc. this will sound odd coming from me, but I actually like hearing massive umpire screw ups outside of the AFL. so what the worst umpiring blunder you have seen at a game?? And have you ever seen a good umpiring moment?? Im sure someone has =P

A. I was playing footy for my side in melbourne's SE suburbs one day and we had this umpire turn up that stunk of bourbon, it was a senior game so the game started at 2pm and he still stunk of it. Anyway we were winning by about 30 goals to 2, (seriously) and one of our blokes gave away a free kick, they kicked a goal, I was Captain so i asked what it was for, he went off his tree and awarded another kick in the Goal square, so they kicked another goal, then on the way back to the center square, i said to him, you can't do that, i am allowed (being skipper) to ask you what the free was for, to my amazement, he started screaming, "another free kick in the goal square", i shut my mouth as i knew i couldn't win, they got 3 goals from one… [cont.]
