| The pack is growing but the game shrinking - The Sydney Morning Herald |
IRONICALLY, for significant periods of each match, Australian football has gone back to where it began 153 years ago - one lump of players chasing a ball. Two years ago, Ron Barassi told me he was worried about the game becoming one mobile pack of bodies. Players, he said, were getting fewer opportunities to show their skills. Some people would argue that current trends in the game started in... |

| Friends to foes - AFL |
WITH GARY Ablett junior facing his former Geelong teammates for the first time on Saturday night, it's timely to highlight the similar experiences of two of the game's most successful figures - Norm Smith and his virtual foster son Ron Barassi.

| Making the most of limited talents - The Age |
BEING committed to anything isn't easy, because it means you have to give 100 per cent, 100 per cent of the time. Football clubs strive for that. Few achieve it. I believe Richmond, at the moment, has to be the most committed team in the AFL. There's a lot to like about this Richmond side. The thing I like best about them, however, is the effort, drive and will coach Damien Hardwick has... |

| Indigenous pioneer - AFL |
WHEN David Kantilla arrived in Adelaide from Bathurst Island at the start of the 1961 season, he might well have landed from Mars. With few exceptions, the SANFL was an all-white competition and a ruckman from the Tiwi Islands, who looked like he was carved from ebony, was always going to attract attention.

| Why SA footy is in a sorry state - AdelaideNow |
FOOTBALL in SA is on the nose. It has never stunk more in memory, according to Bruce McAvaney. McAvaney's assertion a week ago, following Adelaide's 96-point loss to Melbourne in a Mother's Day massacre, that SA footy has never been lower is the painful truth now confronting the state's sporting landscape. The two biggest teams in town, Adelaide and Port Adelaide, are languishing outside the... |

| Bringing in the changes - The Sydney Morning Herald |
When Greater Western Sydney join the AFL next year, the competition - in the space of 30 years - will have morphed from a 12-team Victorian league into an 18-team competition with clubs in five states and matches played the length and breadth of the country. The temptation, naturally, will be to expand abroad what is essentially a southern states game. AFL luminary Ron Barassi would love to... |
