not too sure how many of you have been following this one closely, however there is a currently an AFL game in development for release within the first six months of 2011 (rumoured March 2011) - published by BigAnt - reading through this forum link and viewing the screenshots and details of the game, i'm damn excited!!! http://www.games-ranch.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8394
I read an early review for it last week which sounded promising, but for me, nothing yet has come close to the 1991 aussie rules game on the original nintendo. http://www.1980-games.com/us/old-games/nintendo/a/Aussie_Rules_Footy/big-game.php
I loved AFL 2005 on PS2. One of the commentators was Dermie, i think, and all he says is "This guys on fire, how many ways can you say, this guys on fire". Funnily enough, that's where my SC team name of 'this guys on fire' came from =D
I heard about this new version, I heard it's got a draft component about it.. meaning at the end of the season you can draft the big guns! Should make for an interesting play!

heheh,Boo yah. thank you walesy. I nearly threw that quote on the end of my post, but decided to leave it open and see if someone else took it
Both consoles, hopefully it has online support so they can keep improving it, and squad updates year to year.
I played the game today (ps3 version) at a preview launch at EB Games Chadstone. Awesome fun, and a great platform for future releases. Because it doesnt have 'be a pro' and 'franchise' mode it will date a little quicker then some games. They have got it right though. Can't wait for the release April 14 or April 21 i beleive
