In this episode, I take a look at the financial struggles that the VFL faced in the 1980’s, and how the future Commissioner of the NBA played a small role in helping the VFL survive the 80’s which led to thriving today.

Episode 9 - A Yank on the Footy
If you like the show, consider helping me out at Buy Me a Coffee . Also, if you are interested in any podcast gear, you can find it on my Redbubble page.
This week's episode takes a look at the expansion of AFLW game coverage in the US, and whether or not it is sustainable and whether it will carry over into the AFL season. I also explore a very “doable” idea to help promote the AFL to fans in the US. I’ll also explore the possibility of an entire round of international play, as well as look at two very sad stories this weekend. I'll also share a bit of information about the research I am doing for an upcoming episode.
Here are the links that I used for research into this episode.

Episode 8 - A Yank on the Footy
This week's episode takes a quick look at last week’s Super Bowl, but the main focus is a little known hybrid game that was developed out of necessity in 1943. A big shout out to Orville Gibson of Russell Island in Queensland, for pointing me in the right direction with some of the questions that I had researching the US military in Australia.

Episode 7 - A Yank on the Footy
In this episode, I sit down for an interview with Frode Jurnhart, arguably the biggest Western Bulldogs supporter on the East Coast of the United States.
Frode talks about his 2019 trip to “The Kennel”, his interaction with many of the Bulldogs players, and how he was welcomed with open arms by the Bulldogs Cheer Squad.
He also talks about his first impressions of Marvel Stadium, and perhaps the most important part of the interview….talking about those wonderful, tasty Meat Pies.
