:I would like people to consider that there is a definite difference between comps like the BARFL and the DAFL that have been around for 15 years or so, and other overseas comps that are just starting out or are simply a means for people to have a bit of a kick around the park.  So when we talk of some of the older clubs in the BARFL and DAFL that may have won a few premierships, names that are actually known to many footy followers in Australia - is there something really wrong with writing about that?  Also, aussie rules is the national code of Nauru - so why shouldn't its older clubs get a bit of a write up if necessary?  Wouldn't it appear a touch condascending to say to them: "you can't talk about your own clubs, but you can mention your league"?  Aussie rules also has a reasonably long history in PNG and has been played in New Zealand as a minor sport for 100 years.  In fact, it wouldn't surprise me that you might be able to find an aussie rules club in New Zealand that is even older than any soccer club in Italy.  Lastly, it is well documented that aussie rules was played as a minor sport in both Scotland and South Africa around 1900 before dieing out (only to be reborn in the latter country more recently, under very different circumstances).  Let us also not forget  that two Japanese born players are currently trialling with Essendon, and when people say that only 5-10 AFL/VFL players have been born overseas - I would submit to them that they are out by a very large margin.  ρ¡ρρµ δ→θ∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 06:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

message: While the Sydney Morning Herald is usually reliable, the USAFL's own reports state "participation exceeded 1,000 for the first time" in 2011 (2011 USAFL Annual Report, p.3, International Development Regional Plan, p.9). An independent source for this number of 1,000 players is Aussie Rules for Dummies, p.127. The text book Principles and Practice of Sport Management (p.197) mentions over 2,000 players in 2007, but this does not say registered players, and may include an estimate of unregistered participants who try out the game and Australian visitors who play casually without USAFL involvement.

replies: text: Thanks for finding those  - it was just the use of simple maths to question a source (which sounds about right but is unfortunately WP:OR) that I was disputing. What about perhaps using the last source and the 2007 date without the word "registered"? Cheers, Melcous (talk) 07:11, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The total number of people who play the sport in the US might be suitable for Australian rules football in the United States, but USAFL-registered players is appropriate in this article about the league. Jack N. Stock (talk) 19:24, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
