Not sure if anyone would of seen it byut Last Saturdays Age had a tremendous article about the similarities between AFL and Hockey, new AIHL fans and where they are coming from, the history of the sport in Australia and forcasting of it's future was a great read. Im still searching for a copy online!

Not the article I am talking about but still good: http://www.theage.com.au/sport/for-a...903-1jrgh.html

Like the rule adaptions I think in the main. Australians are more likely to swing to the 'hard but fair' mantra, especially found when I started watching alot of the cheap hits physicality, initionally annoyed me until I got use to it.

I havent been to any games yet still trying to force a mate along, but might just fly solo next year.
