Why is AFL only played in Australia?
I live there and am a big fan of AFL, the aussies are very competitive and very good at their sport. The aussies could have their own sport and play against other cities as a country.
I REST MY CASE!!
However, AFL (Australian Football) is not only a chief sport in Australia, it is also classified the the main sport of island nation, Nauru!
In fact, it has leagues in most of the Pacific Island nations, though it is not a forerunner sport in most other countries.
It also has minor leagues in Europe and North and South America, as well as an Asian presence ... so the game is slowly expanding.
Australian football has had 3 main challenges to its growth over past generations:
1. Australia's isolation from the rest of the world;
2. The great size of the ground needed for proper play (which is cricket ground size)
3. The need for 18 on-field players to make a team plus necessary substitutes due to its higher-than-average rate of injury to players - which means, it traditionally needs at least 40 players to play out a match.
Of recent decades, its promoters have begun to overcome such hurdles by inventing 9 a-side games on smaller pitches.

How do you kick further in AFL premiership 2005?
Getting a good kicker like a guy with at least 90 kicking average. Put them in Centre Half Forward and stuff. THen in Pre-season make sure u have a crappy marker at full forward. Kick the ball to the 90 guy. Have him run bak if he takes the mark. If he doesn't just go for a big kick. If he takes the mark more bak a bit like 5 metres. Then run forward. Keep running until u get close to the man on the mark then kick. A 9 pointer should be yours. Also put a good kicking guy in defense and have him kick long if the other team u no. If your going for goal at fullforward do the same thing. Try this and see if u can kick a 9 pointer in pre-season or the furthest goal u have ever kicked. Good luck mate.
How much does an AFL teams cost?
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071118190122AAbMqKK Expansion fee for an Arena Football franchise is currently $20 million.
However, the AFL Board of Directors also require that you have a net worth of more than $60 million, after your expansion fee. They will also have to approve your application into the league as well.
So, basically your looking at a total of $80 million dollars in the bank(so to speak) and approval from the league to get your AFL franchise.
Extralarge size 111 XLIII stands for 43 They're Roman Numerals for 43, Super Bowl 43 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals X=10, L=50, Each I (letter i, not ones) = 1 When you put the Bigger number last, (as in XL) the first number (X) is subtracted from the Bigger one (L) (not real sure when these rules apply, maybe it's mentioned in the link) For example... V is Five, VI is six, VII seven VIII is eight, but nine is IX, then ten is X Good luck figuring out the rest...I know because I learned it in school way back when...

(B)
CYBERCOACH LIVE.COM: THE WORLD'S FIRST ONLINE INTERACTIVE/ TV GAMING MAGAZINE. (Interactive TV/ football Webmag)™ ©G.Stingas 2009
Free Monthly/ Fortnightly Online magazine. AFL would be the first club worldwide to offer a free football magazine online! AFL Cybercoach Live.com. the world's first online interactive magazine with heaps (53) of online competitions.
Offer the magazine within the AFL website instead of just listing games on the website. The online TV component would award prizes to supporters and used as an informative community segment with news, current events and competitions supporting the website magazine/gaming initiative. The webmag would be accessed by providing a password to fans within the official AFL website.
How does it differentiate from existing online products?
No other organisation has offered an interactive entertainment package within a magazine website structure in conjunction with an online TV component. The Cybercoach Live.com website will be designed and structured as a magazine whilst allowing for an Online TV infotainment/competition segment. Supporters will be receiving the online magazine experience whilst accessing interactive gaming components. A world first!
Would the interactive webmag require the online TV component to succeed?
No, but it would generate twice the profit margin from sponsors and advertising opportunities available. Website traffic would increase as a result from offering both the webmag and the online TV segment.
What is the most beneficial factor concerning generating further profit?
- Online hits increase, therefore AFL's advertising website value increases. Supporters/public access magazine through AFL website.
- Online hits/traffic increases due to supporters and new members requiring access to magazine and wanting to view online TV Cybercoach Live segments.
- Online hits increase attracting new members to visit the AFL site and also visiting the Cybercoach magazine site. Two hits from each person deriving from the AFL website, just to enter, further hits to play games & check results.
- A second online platform owned by AFL Cybercoach Live.com allows for a greater advertising & marketing scope for sponsors and advertisers. Allowing for a choice factor to associated business partners.
- Homepage advertising scope created by changing Cybercoach Live.com magazine's cover page. Greater volume of homepage advertising in line with a successful concept means that no restrictions are applied to AFL's main website. Advertisers have a different avenue of advertising without clogging AFL's official website with advertising.
- Advertising on the AFL's TV component generates further profit, especially when airing NEW SEGMENTS monthly ONLINE TV GAMES with contestants competing online.
How would the AFL offer & promote the webmag?
Would supporters & general public require any conditions to access the webmag?
Offer the magazine within the AFL website BUT with a separate link to Cybercoach Live.com. Fans can subscribe on the condition of sending Cybercoach news "Tell a Friend" to 2 FRIENDS and/or 2 SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES.
Include a component within the AFL site where this information is collected.
Fans must satisfy the above requirements before receiving access to the magazine.
Fans will be provided with passwords to access the magazine.
Why would sponsors be interested in a separate webmag concept?
Sponsors and advertisers could exclusively tie in purchases of products / services on the condition of providing webmag access to consumers. Products could contain the passwords, therefore both sponsor & consumer are satisfied. This marketing methodology would be very successful with telecommunications/service providers as outlined in correspondence emailed 27/6/2009 with attachment titled: Cybercoach Live Media Services Telecommunication Business document.
Why will the concept be successful?
It contains the exclusive membership factor, without the price, where you require password access. Exclusivity contains a mystery factor of what is on offer. People will become inquisitive and start asking questions, therefore further promotion & advertising on social networking sites directly from your supporter base & general public. Fans will discuss the new initiative on social networking sites, therefore advertising and marketing kept to a minimum. The AFL website & online TV component can promote the concept to an established fan base.
The AFL will gain interest from the football community wanting to see and experience this innovative entertainment package.
Can the Online TV initiative easily tie in with the webmag?
Outline the recommended online TV segments.
Yes. Utilise AFL online TV to promote & advertise the new Cybercoach Live.com Interactive Magazine: Got what it takes?" Make an announcement that subscribers directly from the web magazine will be selected for the AFL TV gaming concept.
Include simple online TV competitions once a fortnight or monthly.

Why is it important for an umpire to know all the rules?
Because the umpire is in charge of the match. He decides which free kicks are paid and what happens when the rules are broken. If the umpire doesn't know all the rules, the game isn't run according to the rules and therefore isn't a proper game of Australian Rules.
How many people are on a football side?
11 people form the playing side and there are 3 subs which can be replaced during the game.
How many players have kicked a goal with their first kick in the AFL?
As scant records have been kept of anything back in the 1890's when the original official competition began, the question would be impossible to answer.
It would be something that results many times each year I would think; aplayer achieved it only 2 weeks ago.
I doubt that anyone would be keeping such records.
However, whilst on the subject of Australian sports:
In Australia's only other sports' invention, the newly-invented GrappaBall [also known as grappleball], the inventor himself, Denis Towers, at nearly 62 years of age, while playing with 20+ year-olds, virtually kicked an AFL-type goal with his very first kick in his own Grappleball game. However, because the game calls for a crossbar under which all goals must be scored, the goal was considered too high and therefore, disallowed, despite that a crossbar had not been installed for the game at that point!
Had the game been scored in AFL style, however, despite his seniority, he would have booted a goal with his very first kick in his own new invention!!
