Stumbled across this old article......it is intriguing.

Uncovered: When league and AFL tried a hybrid game

Rugby union and rugby league have long toyed with the idea of a hybrid game, but what many don't know is that a pursuit to create the ultimate football code in Australia once involved AFL.

VFL approached the nswrl a number of times for a hybrid game

The first time was early they wanted to benefit from tours to and from Great Britain which were a huge money spinner (sometime in the 1910s or so)

It never got off the ground as the nswrl were focused on organising a tour to England

In the 70s they actually played a hybrid game behind close doors at the scg and it was so awful they immediately stopped it

All attempts were made by the vfl who wanted to gain traction in nsw and qld and England tours

It is easy if you actually want a hybrid:
- American football with kicking instead of throwing (A7FL is close to what it would look like)

but the Victorians are too attached to their shit sport

I think the most important thing that everyone seems to be forgetting is this:

There is nothing in that other game that they could possibly add to ours to make a better game.

The only things are off-field stuff like extra viewers, extra bums on seats, extra sponsorship, ect, from the states deemed to presently be 'aussie rules states'.

Good lord no.

Might I suggest to the staff that this thread be moved to the cave?
