AusKick is not Aussie Rules

[docbrown]

And that figure of less than 3,000 is not just junior players but total players at all age levels.

 

[spritzer]

"We've only converted 642 junior members from a total of 29,260 Auskick participants in 2009."


You guys are absolute morons, out of the round 30,000 kids playing auskick in QLD in that year, 642 kids became junior members of the Brisbane Lions.

I dont know how many kids play junior league or kids to kangaroos, but how many are members of the Broncos, that would be the comparison, for all we know 29,400 are still playing aussie rules.


I am embarrassed for you losers, i really am.

 

[spritzer]

Remember that Brisbane Lions newsletter where they noted they had about 30,000 Auskick participants in QLD but only got 600 to sign up for club competition.

Wrong, only 642 signed up to become members of the Brisbane Lions.

Your an absolute idiot.

It's usually a 1 hour session of training drills. If the kids are lucky they'll play a 15 minute non contact game of kick to kick at the end.

Anyone who tells you otherwise should be rightly shouted down.

That is all.

Wrong, i am telling you otherwise, at the club i coached auskick at we had half an hour of skills training and a half hour modified game.


Young kids have a limited attention span, you have to keep them interested and change things around.

The difference is Victorian that RL doesn't claim children who attend Kids to Kangaroos clinics in its player participation numbers in an effort to massively inflate them.

Then you must be a really poor coach if you can only keep them interested for 30 minutes.

Which part of that was too complex for your tiny little brain?

ie. half an hour of fumbling followed by another half an hour of fumbling.

Do you understand the difference between a club competition and becoming a member of a AFL club ?.

Those 30,000 kids could all be still playing aussie rules, but specifically 642 of them signed up for a Brisbane Lions membership, nothing to do with any junior club competition.

I really hope you now understand the difference, because i think you are all under the mistaken belief that out of of 30,000 auskickers only 642 signed on to play at a junior AF club.

These kids were not actually signing on to play football, they were signing to become members of the brisbane lions AFL club, their junior clubs are a totally separate issue, its quite possible they are members of the Lions , but do not play football, alternatively it is possible that the remaining 29,400 kids who are not Brisbane Lions members do play football at their local Brisbane juniors club.

do a search on Brisbane Lions junior members

here is just one example of what you will find http://www.lions.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/5085/newsid/119444/default.aspx

 

[El Diablo]

Thanks for that, but what are you actually trying to say.

Thats not what i said. :roll:

 

[East Coast Tiger]

If the Victorians are claiming cats in their player numbers now it's just another good reason for a cat cull.

I'd prefer we cull Victorians.

One step at a time.

They're not all playing Aussie rules. I've seen the AFL's 2011 report.

And as for club competition, you do realise that the Lions run an academy squad? You need to be both a Brisbane junior and a Lions member.

About 2% of the Auskick Under 15s were interested in it.

Of course you have seen the 2011 report, you are some sort of fanatic, under 15's do not play auskick.

You are just so confused about whats what, its very sad.

Kids that are picked in the academy, of course have a junior club, but i am really hoping that you understand, that the 642 kids who signed up a Brisbane Lions members, may or may not still be playing football, and the other 29,400 kids may still, or possibly not playing football.

You also do not have to be a Brisbane junior to be part of the Brisbane Lions academy, they come from all over QLD.

I really hope its seeped through.

Out of 30,000 kids the Brisbane Lions only converted 642 to members of their club, nothing to with their junior football or if they are still playing with their junior club.

 

[_snafu_]

Your an absolute idiot.

Oh the irony.

f**king Victorians.

Didn't know it was against the law read a publically available report.

In your mind every single Auskick player plays AFL whereas it's not the case, not even according to the AFL.

under 15's do not play auskick.

So the kids aged up to 12 aren't younger than 15? :roll:

The 15 is in reference to the Lions Academy squad.

You also do not have to be a Brisbane junior to be part of the Brisbane Lions academy, they come from all over QLD.

Only the Future Stars aren't juniors. Levels One, Two and Three are AFL Lions junior club members.
