It's up to you how you participate in the community!

I am sure you can still buy a copy ......... I think i's more reflection of the market demographic football is chasing. Most Boomers are rusted on to there existing codes whereas the X & Y gen's are not so. Thus the pitch is at the market demographic "they see" as willing buy a football product. My guess will be aimed at women as well as men...... thus will need a fair bit of skill from the editor .......... and hopefully as Dibbo & Kev have already stated will have articles and stories of interest like what Kool eats for breakie, and how he takes his kids to the park and plays on the seasaw ........ well maybe not my examples ...... but you get the idea not player stats ......... at least I hope not.

What's the bet that it will take the form of AFL and NRL rags, with the bulk of content revolving around:
. who's allegedly sniffing coke or popping pills
. who's allegedly glassing their girlfriend in a pub
. who's allegedly sleeping with the captain's wife
. who allegedly is blowing over the limit while driving their sports car
. who allegedly deserting football for the money in another code
Well, maybe not the last one. ;D
Seriously, I hope it doesn't take that tone, as it is destroying NRL at least (not that I care), although Melbournians AFL-ers seem to thrive on that stuff.

Thankfully AFW is better than I thought. Not brilliant, but what can you expect for under a fiver. The two page article on Bossa was a nice read.
Take out the Full90 mag insert and there's not much there beyond adverts and a few articles that read suspiciously like previous content re-written slightly differently.
Some of the stats made no sense - figures without any context.
Biggest downer was that 'King Tosser Sacker Whacker' was the poster boy on the front page and inside - no taste.
A glossy mag style when I was expecting a newspaper feel to it. Not sure if that's a plus or minus.
Jury is out at this stage, but if it stays like this, it's a positive addition for the football-starved punter.
