The problem is one of hard evidence which means that the further back you go the sketchier it is. As an example when I was in primary school we were taught that the german explorer Ludwig Leichhardt had perished in Queensland probably at the hands of hostile Aborigines. In 2007 they found evidence that he had crossed Queensland into WA and probably perished in northern WA. Second example, Men At Works "Down Under" had a flute piece which Greg Ham thought that he had written however it turns out that it was written in the 50s (Kookaburra) and he probably heard it as a child and remained buried in his head. Years later he adds it to the world wide hit and then in 2013 he gets sued by the copyright owner (who bought the copyright for $100), loses and takes his own life. There is no way to know whether Wills was ever influenced what he watched as a child which is why it remains a matter of conjecture - just as Greg Ham unconciously was influenced by Kookaburra. Should have the AFL taken the step? Probably not as it remains a matter of conjecture. Are the historians expecting too much? Probably because if we applied the same level of proof being asked, then our knowledge of Ancient Greece and Rome would be reduced substantially as there are no written records to confirm what we have a high degree of certainty that did occur. Does it matter? Not one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW the AFL has always had crowd issues. But the media only ever concentrated on the wog ball. These days with mobile phone cameras the images get uploaded and shared so the media could no longer ignore it. As a kid I only ever went once to Victoria Park to watch Collingwood play Essendon and the amount of fights/blood on the way to the train station was like trying to avoid dog poo before we were told to clean up after them. It is interesting to note that just as the FFA has killed the atmosphere at matches, the AFL is following suit. Best explanation that I have heard is that it drowns out the gambling advertising.

mus-28 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Quote Asked on what evidence the position changed, Ms Hosch said the sharing of oral history by Aboriginal elders had changed the understanding of Marngrook within the AFL industry. So more mythical history like the magical rainbow sepent that created animals which turned into humans if they obeyed the rules, thus creating mankind.

Likewise such a group in Sydney did this did the same and one in Perth. Not only has this happened so many times with MV Groups attacking The Gimp/fans after games in a organized manner they have more than once come to games where MV aren't playing to carry out such attacks. There is no such groups amongst AFL fans, there have never been such actions taken by AFL fans and if this did come into AFL it be most likely from fans of Soccer replicating the scene from the A-League. 6 hours ago, Tesla said: TTIM : Princess theater's cramped seats, seriously you get more seating room on a $100 Jetstar flight than in $400 theater seats.

All I said was that there have always been fights at the VFL/AFL games as well as arrests, however I don't ever recall any of that making it into the weekly night bulletins nor to the papers. I certainly recall numerous times the media focusing on the fights at NSL games, particularly the Serbs vs the Croats. And you are right, there is a difference between having organised fights vs random blokes/sheilas getting into a bloody scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's less safe for the every day joe supporter. Football differs where the active support factions cause problems more often than not between each other.

It's probably more that the idiots are spread across the stadium at the footy, whilst the soccer they seem to concentrated in one area. Obv the organised stuff is 100% a soccer thing, but its also generally limited to those choosing to participate in it somewhat. There's a degree of those people that actually don't know what they are getting involved in too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
