@J G 1) No true fan refers to the apparent beautiful game as soccer...2) wow 2050.....20yrs ago they said by 2020 and look how that went for the game. 3) Man United are like Essendon. Was once a powerhouse of the competition now just bangs on about the trophies it won in the last century.

Very good documentary, still relevant if you see Hawthorn have added 4 premierships since '93. An outstanding club, huge respect from watching them against Collingwood, they are so hard to beat.

It's a fantastic game that actually has a score and unlike soccer lol...the players don't hit the ground after a stiff breeze.

Soccer is the greatest and by far the most important sport on Earth and is massive in over 240 countries. Soccer is the universal language that every nation on this planet loves. Afl is massive in 4 out of 6 Australian states. Still and always will be a minority sport in Qld and NSW. Soccer will be the number 1 sport in Australia by 2050 and every suburb will love soccer and every suburb will have its own soccer club sgv

When you consider the success of Carlton and Essendon in the 80s-90s and 2000 for Essendon, it’s a wonder how far both these clubs have fallen with salary cap issue and drug saga stuff etc… Hawks have shown the way. Really hurts to say this, I’m a North supporter, still waiting since 1999, thinking I’ll be waiting quite a while yet

How bloody good was it when you could have a blue and bump , the game was awesome then and that’s what I grow up on watching being born in 83 . It’s so bloody nothing like it was , goo dam ice hockey’s tougher . Cry cry we have to let the weak boys with no balls play , go play soccer if you can’t handle it . Bigger money 💴

David Parkin probably never realised what might happen with a closed roof stadium and a hotter (and in many places drier) climate, which reduces the supply of talent and make it less difficult to equal or beat Hawthorn’s record even with an 18-team competition. On another side, looking at Hawthorn’s early VFL years, I have long thought the League had genuine desire to make them (and St. Kilda) competitive on-field after the war - akin to the Bears and Swans in the early 1990s.

@@mickirving6779Point by point: 1) Hawthorn's record from 1925 to 1953 is quite unparalleled for its ineptness over such a long period. The club won only 111 and drew three of 522 games in the seniors (their reserves and Under-19s were even worse) and had won more than seven games only twice out of 65 seasons in all grades. It was clear that to make Hawthorn competitive something had to be done to overcome extreme shortages of money to allow Hawthorn (and St. Kilda) to recruit enough decent players. This is why revenue sharing was developed after the war, though it took a decade to affect Hawthorn's lack of competitiveness 2) Back in 2006, it was pointed out that men who are not above average height were, compared to 1996 (the last season before a climatic "magic gate" that produced a hotter and drier climate) at increasing disadvantage in present-day football. If we follow from David Berri's "The Short Supply of Tall People" (online at www.researchgate.net/profile/David-Berri-2/publication/237566712_The_Short_Supply_of_Tall_People_Competitive_Imbalance_and_the_National_Basketball_Association/links/54764b2d0cf29afed6142098/The-Short-Supply-of-Tall-People-Competitive-Imbalance-and-the-National-Basketball-Association.pdf) we should expect that increasing height requirements mean a smaller pool of players and much more chance that a really good team could come close to winning all its games. Also, reducing the variety in playing conditions as a closed roof stadium does should further reduce the pool of players available to play in the AFL.

The 1987 Qualifying Final was not the Sydney Swans’ first final - they had played against Carlton and Fitzroy in 1987. Although travelling to Waverley was an inconvenience, Carlton were a fair-weather team and the Swans might have beaten them in 1986 if they had played in the wet.
