Aurora Stadium

Thanks for that - although I don't think it is intentional, other edits have been well written and usually correct - we will see if he gets the message! -- Chuq (talk) 02:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh well, looks like I was wrong! Might also want to keep an eye on User:Aaroncrick's contributions as he appears to be the same person. -- Chuq (talk) 08:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes thanks for that. Bloody Collingwood supporter, jokes.. haha. Aaroncrick (talk) 11:42, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the support AFL-Cool. I think I was up to three reverts so didn't want to continue myself, even though it was borderline vandalism. It also helps to indicate that it is a Wikipedia policy issue, not a personal issue. However some recent edits make it very difficult to assume good faith. -- Chuq (talk) 13:07, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Tasmanian Football League

Ah, he appears to have stopped it now - but I will keep an eye on it to see if it happens again! -- Chuq (talk)

No worries, btw... WP:UWT (User Warning Templates) is a good place to start if you are unsure as to how you should warn someone for incorrect/inappropriate edits! -- Chuq (talk) 05:50, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Shouldn't the article be re-named the "Tasmania State League"? Cheers Aaroncrick^{(Tassie Boy talk)} 07:30, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah i suppose, thanks Aaroncrick^{(Tassie Boy talk)} 07:11, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

The article has been moved to Wrest Point Tasmanian State League, something I don't agree with. If it is going to keep that name it should at least say Wrest Point Tasmanian State Football League. I also don't see why it needs to mention Wrest Point. As the AFL doesn't mention anything about Toyota. Aaroncrick^{(Tassie Boy talk)} 05:38, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

STJFL Under-14's Grand Final

There would need to be multiple mainstream media sources which discuss this Grand Final for it to be notable and I can't even find even one. When I removed this non notable incident last November you reverted my edit saying that 'it got mainstream media coverage in Melbourne' yet to this day the only reference provided is video footage from some obscure website (which for copyright reasons I don't believe is allowed on wiki). Seeing as you have had all that time to come up with references confirming it's notablity, I am going to remove the material again. Please only include this incident if/after you have found these references. Cheers. Jevansen (talk) 04:31, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I agree. You've been inserting this material without a source since last May—nearly a year now—so the suggestion that we should leave it in while you find "a moment" to dig up a reference is a bit hard to swallow. Hesperian 05:57, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Reply to: "It's notable because it is the first and only grand final result to be affected by the Sirengate ruling. The fact that it was juniors is irrelevant. I need to view the Mercury microfilm to get a page number because the story is no longer online. And that entails a visit to the State Library. The same applies to the Herald Sun. I'm putting it back and it stays".

You're missing the point. UNTIL the references are provided, it shouldn't be included on the article. If you want to go to the state library and get this information that would be excellent. However, while the best reference remains an amateur video on some little known website, this incident has no place on wikipedia. Cheers. Jevansen (talk) 12:42, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in, but I'm in SLV now and I just looked up the newspaper microfilm to help you out. Try these;

I'm not even going to bother replying to him anymore ;) Aaroncrick (talk) Review me! 10:17, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

You did well, however, I would refrain from name calling (even if you're not the only one to share these views) as this could get you in deep water. All the best. Aaroncrick (talk) Review me! 10:26, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Heh, not too worry. Aaroncrick (talk) Review me! 11:21, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

northern Australian? Aaroncrick (talk) 22:54, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Huh? AFL-Cool 22:55, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Suggest a Sydney resident added that :) Interesting how West Sydney will go.. Aaroncrick (talk) 22:58, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Yeah probably. West will stiff and wreck the Swans in the process. AFL-Cool 22:59, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

At least they have Sheedy on board. A lot gets made about it being a Rugby heartland but crowds are only about 15,000 Aaroncrick (talk) 23:01, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

That was a move of desperation I reckon. AFL-Cool 23:02, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

I accidentaly stuffed up your userbox when I was trying to copy paste some of it to my page.I apologise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Norchy pies4life (talk • contribs) 01:33, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Tasmanian Football League

How does a disambiguation explanation at the top of the page, which clearly explains the difference between two competitions that have/had the exact same name, and are referenced as such in other places on Wikipedia, 'serve to further confuse'? It is standard practice in Wikipedia articles that when there are two things/people/places etc with the same name that they use disambiguation pages or header explanations to make it clearer (AFL is such an example) - as I have done with Tasmanian Football League. The fact is the statewide Tasmanian soccer comp was called the Tasmanian State League for several years and quite a few soccer articles link to Tasmanian State League. So I put up the header to make it clear they were in the wrong place. I cannot really see how you think this makes things more confusing. Please kindly leave it in place. 42° South (talk) 13:20, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Oldest sporting trophy

I'm still having a lot of trouble with that statement. Partly because the Newcastle comp seems to have been dormant until 2000, but mostly because there are a lot of competitions and trophies that have existed for longer. E.g. The Melbourne Cup, interstate cricket, even the AFL would have older e.g. Challenge Cup (Australia). And I don't like the source either as it's commercial.Ticklemygrits (talk) 04:06, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Melbourne University Football Club # Early history 1859 for that oneTicklemygrits (talk) 04:27, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I had a look at the history and obviously it has been an on and off competition since 1883. The only claim that it is the oldest trophy in Australia comes from the source you have given. Even the clubs pages don't make that claim. Given that there are more than likely other trophies that have been around for longer, surely there would be one that still exists. I just think it's a very big claim to make and requires more evidence than just that website.Ticklemygrits (talk) 10:30, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Sorry but it is up to you to provide evidence with a reliable source. I've already put other older cups in the post above, if you like I could add others but I don't see the point really. If you called it the oldest Victorian Rules/AFL cup in NSW still in use then I wouldn't have a problem with that, but at the moment I don't think the claim is accurate.Ticklemygrits (talk) 10:26, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

TFL Statewide League attendance figure

Gday AFL Cool - you asked for a source on that figure on the main TFL article in regard to the total number of matches played and the total attendance that paid to watch the 1,427 matches that occurred. All you need to do is read the articles of 1986 through to 2000, all attendances and numbers of matches played are clearly marked on the right hand side of each article, add them all up and there is your total. It isn't in any book or any other publication because nobody has ever bothered to do any research on it previously, hence why I've been doing it.Forfuxake (talk) 18:04, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
