wow, if they would help out countries with airfares to Australia for next year's IC that would be fantastic. Not to pay all of the airfare, but to let's say strike a deal with Qantas, with something like if we fly 400 people through you in August, give as a good price, we (AFL) will pay half and participating countries will pay other half, how about that.

But note well that's just me giving an example of what they could do with that money. More likely it will be distributed between various aspects of Game Development and we'll never know exactly what was spent where. The IC would be a great cause, but also it's high time a large junior program got started somewhere - we have South Africa and PNG doing well, and some good signs in NZ, but no real large numbers anywhere else.

We do know the AFL haven't in the past splurged large amounts of cash on the international stage - - however, if ever they were to give it a crack - then, all the planets are in as near to alignment now than ever one could hope.

With a full time international manager, with Tony Woods' voice added to Dave Matthews, and with the first instance of international squads in the U16s Nationals done and a relative success. With Sheeds spruiking and Dipper on 60 mins and Brett Kirk given an international brief. If ever there was a time to at very least something like to go to Govt and say, we'll put in $1 million into PNG, can you match us at very least dollar for dollar......after all, the Feds have given the NRL $4 mill for PNG. Or, likewise to leverage Fed support for the IC, just a million or 2, minute compared to the amount of Fed committed to support just the bid for a FIFA WC.

But, obviously, the players have lead the charge for a pay day - and fair enough. Certainly outside of that there would be no shortage of deserving recipients from the 'footy community'.
