AFL Commission

The AFL Commission is the official governing body of the Australian Football League (AFL), the elite national Australian rules football competition.

The AFL Commission is responsible for the administration of the competition and its constitution proclaims it as the "keeper of the code", the body universally responsible for the sport of Australian Football. Since forming in 1985, the AFL Commission has become increasingly wealthy and powerful and has had control of the sport in Australia since 1993 and internationally since 2005.

There are eight members that comprise the AFL Commission who are elected by the 18 AFL clubs, with each club entitled to make nominations.

    Children cannot eat rhetoric and they cannot be sheltered by commissions. I don’t want to see another commission that studies the needs of kids. We need to help them.
