[|Michael Long] - A true sporting hero, Michael Long is one of the most gifted and prodigious players in the history of the AFL. The former Essendon captain and winner of the Norm Smith Medal, Long blew the whistle on racial abuse and famously walked to Canberra in 2004 to confront the then Prime Minister. Long now leads a charitable organisation that's committed to Indigenous wellbeing, inspired by his 650 kilometre walk.

[|In Defeat We'll Always Try: the death of the Fitzroy Lions] - With the football season in full swing, this is a story all about the game, and the business, of Aussie Rules. It may have slipped from public memory, but it remains a bitter pill in the hearts of some followers of one football team. In the wake of the AFL's recent $1.25 billion television rights deal, it's hard to imagine that only 15 years ago, a debt of a few million dollars was enough to send one of Australian football's foundation clubs under. But that's what happened to the Fitzroy Football Club.

[|AFL has won the battle of the four football codes: Kevin Sheedy] - The AFL is the national football game, with the greatest attendances, TV ratings and it will get bigger, says AFL legend and former GWS Giants coach, Kevin Sheedy.
