Door opening for New Zealand AFL club

To be honest I think some of the fault (if any) lies in the reader who may choose to get momentarily excited and think it means 100 new clubs or something like that. The data is what it is. Exposing kids to the game through Auskick equivalents is very worthwhile and worth measuring and should be reported in the overall total. If people want a more specific focus on the numbers playing school or club footy then sure, try to dig a little deeper (and we will) but I don't think it's fair to say the overall total is unreal or fluffed up. That's just my take on it anyway.
