    AFL Fans Association

    The AFL fans association website is up and running. What are all your guys thoughts on it. Can it be a success?

    No.

    Who cares what I think. In a multi billion dollar industry I add about 0.00000000000000001 percent of the money. I'm not a major sponsor. I'm not a TV network. I'm not in the AFLPA.

    All this is a release valve for people to express their opinion. At best an assistant in the AFL might do a synopsis of things Vlad might want to know, but that's it. Unions or Associations work industrially on the threat of withholding labour. Do you think EVERY Facebook like person will withhold memberships or attendance?

    So long as they publish opinion pieces such as this: http://aflfans.org/2013/12/18/dogs-cheersquad/ they won't get far.

    Well it was written by another teams cheersquad member who would have been friends with both people.
