The Socceroos of 2030?

9 Apr 2013

As my children are now entering the age where my weekends are going to be gleefully jam-packed with trips between local sporting grounds, and I have started to learn what friends of mine have been saying about junior football in this country.

FFA must continue taking the A-League to the people

22 Mar 2013

I would like to preface this article by mentioning that I was a staunch supporter of Sydney Olympic in the old NSL, and have also firmly booked a seat on the Western Sydney Wanderers bandwagon from the announcement of its creation.

The sleeping Wanderer has awoken

10 Jul 2012

1977 was a momentous year in Australia’s sporting landscape. It was the year that football set itself as a standard bearer in the battle of the codes by creating the first national sporting competition in this country.

TV rights (and wrongs) in the A-League

26 Nov 2011

I read Adrian Musolino’s article about TV rights with great interest, and it raised in my mind the spectre of our burgeoning A League – and how our next TV rights deal is crucial for its growth.

Is Brisbane Roar the best Aussie team ever?

4 Mar 2011

I think it is time that all fans of the old NSL (and I was one of them) come back to Australian football, or more specifically the A-League. It is worthwhile returning if only for one reason – to see the Brisbane Roar play.

The Fury's axing and the Balloon Theory

3 Mar 2011

Let’s start off by stating that the A-League is not in peril, despite what the non-football media will be espousing after the dumping of the North Queensland Fury.

Is Brisbane Roar the best Aussie team ever?

I fully understand that you support your team no matter what. Maybe those of an English background can fill us in. If your team gets relegated does that mean you never watch a Premier League game again or even recognise quality play from any of the teams?

Is Brisbane Roar the best Aussie team ever?

I have to say that i have never changed teams Savvas. Although i cannot make it to every Sydney Olympic game in the State League now due to my young family and heavy workload i normally get out to at least 5 home games a season and am a member of them. I do not have a team that i specifically follow in the A League. But i support the game in this country no matter what. I have travelled to watch Olympic play in every state of this country. When my kids grow i will take them to watch Olympic, and i will definately be taking them to the A League. Even though Olympic was my team i will take great pride in telling my kids how i saw players like Mark Viduka, Ned Zelic, Chris Kalantzis etc before they were weighed down with pressure - when they just wanted to play. I agree with BES. You can support more than one team. I am a fan of the Roar now as the article states. I bet you used to support Olympic, South Melbourne, Heidlberg and West Adelaide back in the day?

The Fury’s axing and the Balloon Theory

Im sorry but an average of 17K for a competition that is the best in its code in the WORLD, with the best players, coverage etc is quite pathetic, regardless of our small population base. What about the AFL? They are 4th in averages with less of a population base than the NRL (considering NSW and Qld are NRL states) From the list you have linked it seems that MLS almost has it beat for average. I know the USA has a massive population but it is easilly the 4th sport there! Wookie, i stand corrected. The AFL dont need private investors. It is the "Giant" in the story without them already.
