Talk:List of VFL/AFL players born outside Australia

message: Does this page have sufficient worldview ?  The word "overseas" in the title does not have much meaning for someone outside of Australia.  Also, it might be confusing for some people as to what the abbreviation AFL means.  Could it be called Non-Australian born players in the Australian Football League or Australian Football League players born outside of Australia ?  --Rulesfan 08:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I'd be happy if the list was expanded to include WAFL and SANFL players, only problem is working out what to call the article. List of overseas-born AFL, SANFL and WAFL players is a bit too much. There are certainly many notable people who could be included ... Bruce Winter (Papua New Guinea), Robin Mulholland (Northern Ireland), Bill Walker (New Zealand) and Marty Atkins (England) for example. Jevansen (talk) 12:43, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Why

message: There seem to be several players listed here who have definitely played in 2014 but have earlier years listed as their 'last games'.  If there is only ad-hoc editing going on to keep this info up to date, then the 'last game' column is usually going to be inaccurate to the point of being counter-productive.  Perhaps there is some way to get this info routinely updated from an AFL stats site or such.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.101.5.181 (talk) 00:13, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

message: As per either a recent request at section for assessment requests or because this article was listed as fully or partly unassessed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Assessment I have just now completed a rating of the article and posted my results to this page. Those results are detailed above in the template box. Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, I am unable to leave detailed comments other than to make the following brief observation: poorly written at this time, language needs to be altered to read less like a bulletted sports report and more like an encyclopedia However if you have specific questions, please write to me on my talk page and as time permits I will try to provide you with my reasoning. Please put my talk page on your watchlist if you do ask such a question because in the case of these responses I will only post my answer underneath your question. ALSO if you do not agree with the rating you can list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it.--VS talk 12:17, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Melbourne Hawks

message: In the lead it claims that Melbourne are a club that "historically did not perform on-field". This is completely untrue as Melbourne have won 12 premierships (4th most of all clubs) and Hawthorn have only won 10 (including the one in '08, so when the merger was planned it was 12 to 9).

Talk:AFL Commission

message: The AFL Commission is not a separate entity. It is the board of (independent) directors of the Australian Football League. The article is written as if it is a separate entity. The AFL is a league which is incorporated as a company. The AFL Commission is just the AFL's board of (independent) directors. The AFL operates its premier competition and other competitions. The AFL constitution was amended to make directors independent of the member clubs and its board was renamed. Information on the governance of the league and competition belong in the article on the league, not a separate article. The separate article on the AFL Commission is superfluous.115.42.6.197 (talk) 09:53, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree - this is a useful fork to keep the main AFL article at a reasonable size. If merged, I can see this just being split again in future. Anon, you're welcome to expand this article and be WP:BOLD and make useful edits. Storm machine (talk) 23:32, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

text: Disagree - the Commission and the AFL may be the same entity, however the Commission and the AFL serve different functions (the AFL oversees the national competition in Australia) whereas the governing body is responsible for the game itself worldwide. The article is about this function. It should ideally have delegates from each of the major state and international leagues like almost every other governing body (otherwise it would seem to be a pretty obvious conflict of interest and self-serving body), however the absence of these representatives does not negate its duty as a governing body. --Rulesfan (talk) 06:39, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:1898 VFL season

message: The extended literature dutifully repeats the erroneous assertion  the very first appearance of which can not be identified  that two sets of brothers (Bill Dalton and Jack Dalton, and Jim Grace and Mick Grace) played for Fitzroy in the 1898 VFL Grand Final. Although the assertion is true in the case of Jim and Mick Grace, Bill and Jack Dalton were not brothers (and, it would seem, were not even distantly related).
* The two individuals concerned were born in the precisely same year (1876).
* The two individuals concerned were born five weeks apart  Bill on 11 March, and Jack on 16 April  making it impossible for them to be "brothers".
* They each had entirely different parents:
**Bill was the son of William Dalton (1845-1914), and Anna Dalton (1853-1925), née Brophy.
** Jack was the son of John James Dalton (1849-1890), and Margaret Dalton (1857-1902), née Manning.
* Finally, this unfortunate mix-up may have been caused by the fact that "Bill Dalton" did, indeed, have an older brother "Jack": John Joseph "Jack" Dalton (1873-1943) (Births Deaths and Marriages Victoria Births Registration no.25309/1873). Lindsay658 (talk) 02:37, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Ester Böserup

message: Boserupian is totally different to Malthusian, her view has a positive impact on the population growth. She believed that population grwoth causes agricultural growth because when something(food) starts to run out we will ;invent' or innovate our way to solve the problem. For example, human invented farming because we were starting to run out of hunted food. Thedrefore population growth can cause the running out of food but also make human invent something new which makes human more civilised. Neo-Malthusian argued that Boserupian totally ignore the environmental impact of population and agricultural growth. (Edited by Felix Leung) 08:20, 3 October 2006 User:203.185.40.100
