AFL Falsifying History

[crawfiedog]

In their publication 150 Years of Australian Football the Chief Executive of the AFL Andrew Demetrio is quoted as saying "there is nothing to be achieved by falsifying history" when discussing the origins of our great game. He credits Tom Wills as the inventor of the game rather than the theory of others it was based on an aboriginal game.
Fair enough, but why then does the AFL knowingly falsify their history in regards to another matter - the origin of the Final 8 System that they are currently using?
I devised this system and sent it to the AFL in 1994. They rejected it at the time but after 5 years of problems with the McIntyre Final 8 changed to my system in the year 2000 claiming it as their own idea and giving me no recognition at all for the time and effort I put in to convincing them this was a better and fairer way to run their finals.
I have copies of newspaper articles on my system, letters from the AFL recognising my system prior to them using it as well as letters from every AFL club, many calling for my system to replace the McIntyre Final 8.
Having used my system for the past 7 years surely it is time for the AFL to truthfully acknowledge the origin of their present finals system.
What are they acheiving by continuing to falsify their history in regards to this matter?
Surely history should be an accurate record of events that took place.

If all of that is true then I think you have grounds for a lawsuit, you should meet with lawyers.

Should it be necessary for lawyers to be involved?
Why can't the AFL simply be truthful rather than perpetuate a lie. As I said in my opening thread if they knowingly falsify their history in relation to this matter why should we believe all other aspects of their history are correct.
The AFL place high expectations on players, coaches and clubs in regards to their behavior both on and off the field. Severe penalties are imposed on those who digress.
Shouldn't these same standards apply to AFL administrators themselves or is it ok for them to lie, threaten and falsify history as they have done when dealing with me over the use of my Final 8 system.

If we don't punish Demiblablabla now how will he learn? If you genuinely have prrof then what he has done is not just morally wrong, but against the law and after what he's done to the game he has no right to get away with that.

What's the issue anyway? They have been bullsh1tting about history for yonks.
Look at all of the wooden spoons that the Dees, Dons, Blues, Pies and tigers won that aren't counted.
