The Simon Crean and Federal Government connection would be that "the AFL and Federal government subsidise the wage and other employer costs" of these kinds of positions, according to the AFL SportsReady website.

Definitely very good news. No doubt being called a Sheedy gimmick by knockers of international footy. It must be getting harder and harder to knock though.

What does it say about the Australian media's view on international footy that besides the ABC, the only mention today (at least as far as google news tells me) was in a paper from Rugby League territory?

Surely this is of some interest to the sporting public in the traditional Aussie rules states?
