The celebration by Adam Goodes in yesterday’s match between the Sydney Swans and Carlton was theatre on a grand scale which epitomised the pride attached to the AFL Indigenous Round this weekend. In a round designed to recognise and celebrate the riches given to the game of Australian Rules football by indigenous footballers, these acts will be remembered as iconic moments.

 

The AFL promotes the weekend’s round of football at all levels nationally by stating:

 

From a deep connection with the land comes a proud history of runners, jumpers, hunters, collectors, dancers, artists and leaders. These skills echo the incredible contribution that Indigenous footballers have made to the game.

 

The 2015 Toyota AFL Indigenous Round is an opportunity to celebrate the role these athletes have had in shaping Australian Rules football. Not just making the game spectacular, but bringing two cultures together.

Supporters The Lifeblood Of Footy Clubs

It was two unconnected, though related events on my recent time down in footy’s heartland – Victoria – that underlined a very real truth: without the fans we do not have a game.

My mother stated that players change, club administrations change, nowadays jumpers change and even venues change. But the one constant is that there are always supporters. For the most part those supporters have been around for years and years – outlasting the players that fleet across a club’s landscape (with the possible exception of Dustin Fletcher who appears intent on playing well into his third decade).

A quick drive into the Sorrento footy ground in my old home town illustrated the point. The juniors were out on the field that I once played on as a teenager, despite the wind chill factor making it about five degrees out there. I had the audacity to see myself out there as I looked, but soon realised that my body cannot do the things it once did.

One thing we always hoped that our site would be valued for in time, was as a documented history of modern International Footy.  The site started in 2004 and we have had thousands of stories since then.  So what was happening 10 years ago this week at World Footy News? 
 
Jake Anson told us the AFL Club Melbourne would be hosting NZ at IC05, and the IC05 venues were announced at Port Melbourne, Wangaratta, Optus Oval and the MCG.
 
PNG won the U16 Qld Country Championships and Malcolm Blight was reported to have put up is hand to coach PNG in the IC05 Grand Final should they make it (they did make it and lost to NZ, as far as I recall Blight was not coaching).
