Brett, long time reader, and never before have I felt the need to post a comment. However, your recent statement concerning AFL fans being "a little unhappy" has caused my outrage to be sufficiently prodded to make this comment.

You say that AFL is "the game formerly known as Aussie Rules". Nothing could be further from the truth. That's like saying that all rugby players (other than those playing Union) play "NRL", or those playing the beautiful game (soccer) are playing "FIFA", or those playing the sport with bats and wickets playing "ICC". "AFL" is simply the league that runs the major Aussie Rules competitition. The sport has not, and never will change its name. There are plenty of leagues playing Aussie Rules - VFA (Victoria - where there are dozens of leagues playing Aussie Rules), TFL (Tasmania). WAFL (WA) ... . Need I go on. The sport is Aussie Rules.

Thanks for the clarification; it's great to hear from you. I think I meant to say "Australian Football" being the sport rather than AFL, which, as you say, is the competition.
