Richmond Aussie Rules Results

On January 25, 2001, Seven Network`s main competitors, led by Kerry Packer, Nine Network, Network Ten and Foxtel, formed a consortium that offered $500 million for the rights to broadcast the 2002-2006 seasons. Seven had acquired a guaranteed right in 1995[82] to make the final offer,[82] but had decided not to outbid its competitors. [83] The matches were split between the networks, with Nine Friday broadcasting Night Football, a live match on Sunday afternoon in the East, and, if necessary, a doubleheader for WA and SA, with Ten showing a Saturday afternoon match and a Saturday night match, while the other four matches were broadcast on Foxtel. Foxtel set up its own version of an AFL special, the Fox Footy Channel, which aired every game of the week, as well as plenty of Australian rules football-related news, talkbacks and general broadcasts. [84] Although there are no professional leagues or teams outside of Australia, the AFL has stated that it wants to introduce Australian rules football to other countries such as India, China and South Africa in order to create a global fan base and thus create more visibility for its sponsors in the growing Asian and African markets. [70] [71] On October 17, 2010, AFL clubs Melbourne Demons and Brisbane Lions played a friendly match in front of 7,000 spectators at the Jiangwan Sports Center in Shanghai. [72] It was the first professional AFL game to be played in China. Since then, AFL Premiership games have been played in New Zealand and China, and the competition has generated some interest in North America amid the COVID-19 pandemic. [73] The AFL has attracted increased interest in Ireland due to the introduction of the international set of rules between an Australian AFL Pick All team and an Irish International Rules football team from 1984. The series is under the auspices of the AFL and the Gaelic Athletic Association. [74] The game itself is a hybrid sport consisting of the rules of Australian rules and Gaelic football. The series offers the only way for AFL players to represent their nation.

This series encouraged young Irish footballers to switch codes to join AFL teams, as salaries in the AFL were much higher than those in Gaelic football.[75] However, most Irish players fail to make it to the 1st team. [76] It also paved the way for increased coverage and dissemination in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The Australian Football League (AFL) is the preeminent and fully professional men`s competition in Australian rules football. Through the AFL Commission, the AFL also serves as the governing body of the sport and is responsible for controlling the rules of the game. Originally known as the Victorian Football League (VFL), it was established in 1896 as a spin-off of the Victorian Football Association (VFA), whose inaugural season began the following year. The VFL, which wanted to become a national competition, began expanding beyond Victoria to other Australian states in the 1980s and changed its name to the AFL in 1990. In 1976, the National Football League, then the national governing body of Australian rules football, formed the NFL Night Series as the successor to the Australian Championship. The Night Series, which took place at the same time as the Premiership season, was played between twelve VFL clubs, SANFL and WANFL, who were invited based on their ranking from the previous year.

The event was mainly played on Tuesday nights, with nightly matches at Adelaide`s Norwood Oval, and all matches were broadcast live in colour on Channel 9, opening up unprecedented revenue streams from television rights and sponsorship opportunities for the sport. [5] The NFL began planning to expand its nightly series to include more teams from the VFL, SANFL, and WAFL, as well as representative teams from other states. As the dominant league that attracts many of the country`s best players, Victoria`s Australian rules football team (nicknamed “Big V” and made up mostly of VFL players) dominated interstate matches until the introduction of the Australian Football Council`s country selection criteria in 1977, after which Victoria`s results became more balanced with the other major states of Australian rules football.
