I am interested in being a Football 'Keeper'...no, not a Goalkeeper, but someone like a Zoo Keeper or a Game Keeper: looking after the interests of the Game and all who inhabit the great Football Zoo!
I have played, coached and been addicted to the game for most of my life. I have also written about it as a young budding journalist, driven by the desire to progress the cause of Football in society.
I regard those involved in Australian Football like family, an important group in a country that has other sports holding traditional advantages.
My purpose in this blog is to address those irritating issues and problems that hold the game back: the incompetence of Administrators, the usual attacks from anti-Football campaigners, the harm done by the pro-Football media, errant Coaches and Players, anyone or anything that prevents me from seeing the game continue to rise in prominence. In other words, to 'keep' Football strong, safe, healthy and alive!
My focus on the game will always be to critique in a constructive manner, but my focus on other sports will be to match any of their tactics, destructive or otherwise, if they seek to damage the game that I love.
I want to promote a community of readers that are involved in commenting and participating. I welcome both agreement and disagreement. Any criticism, in any way you choose to give it, with a proviso: that it is not abusive, or incites abuse, in any way.
I believe the 'pen is mightier than the sword'.
