The following message is to ask the President of the NAFL Mr. Carne to explain comments that he posts on websites here in Japan, as we feel that they inhibiting the development of the game here in Japan.


Dear Mr. Carne. Following your posts http://www.whynotjapan.com/newbb+viewtopic.viewmode+thread+topic_id+688+forum+11+post_id+4891.htm#4891

we wish for you to explain the statements you consistently post. We also wish that you think about how you may be damaging football in Japan with such posts. You post material on site listed above, there is damaging material on the NAFL website and at times posted on other websites.

Please explain why you think that the NAFL is the only non-race based league in Japan?


The Osaka Dingoes are part of the JAFL. The Osaka Dingoes and the JAFL are both non-race based Australian Football originations. Last week when the Osaka Dingoes played the Tokyo Goannas http://www.worldfootynews.com/article.php/20080414005541159 players were picked upon their sporting merit, it had nothing to with race.

Within the JAFL the national team is also selected upon merit and the rules laid down by the AFL on who is eligible to play for a national team. This seems normal; after all it is a national team. It is also accepted by most nations, once the New Zealand national team had to display their passports before a game could start.

It seems that the Mr. Carne has a problem with the rules of the AFL. If this is true then I suggest that Mr. Carne contact the AFL and not continue writing things that only damages the game here in Japan.


Could Mr. Carne also explain this statement “We're the only league in Japan with people who know the game.”

I would say that the 4 JAFL players who spent time with Essendon and Genki Tanaka who spent a season in Melbourne and a season in Darwin know the game well enough. There are also many other people within the JAFL who know the game well.


We feel that the statements made by the President of the NAFL are not true and are damaging to the Australian Football in general and particularly in Japan. We hope that if Mr. Carne cannot explain his statements then he stop posting such statements.


The Osaka Dingoes.

Easy to explain my comments

All the posts put on this site by the so called JAFL are done by an Englishman call Stuart MacLean.

Mr. MacLean has no real background in Australian Football other than a few years in the low levels of Japan football. My own credentials are as follows.

35 years in the game as a player, coach and adminstrator. Coaches such as Barrie Robran, Paul Weston, Glen Elliot, Jeff Sarau, Daryl Schimelbusch, Malcolm Blight and Danny Harrington. All played at the highest level and with distinction. I have the support of a multiple of other AFL organisations across the globe.

Genki Tanaka, Michito and a few others have had limited experience in the game. The whole Essendon exercise was a publicity stunt by Essendon to garnersupport. The fact is that players like Michito and Tanaka struggled to make it at the lowest levels in Australian football. I've stood both these players in my 40's and beaten them easily. So they are not up to standard and will only do so by getting proper coaching which exists only in the NAFL.

The only one damaging football is a certain Charisma Man Stuart Maclean who was given a life ban. The poor deluded guy thinks he is a football official and has spent the last three years venting his revenge on the NAFL for giving him a justified Life Ban.

We are backed by the AFL. Quote by the AFL reps. "It is the NAFL that has the expertise to see the game develop in Japan, not the JAFL". Their words not ours.

Mr. MacLean. You forget the fundamental rule of Australian Football. Cross the white line and your lies will find you out. You Mr. MacLean are a fraud and are only surviving because the Japanese know no better as to who knows the game. Now go away and leave football to those who actually know it and love it and stop using people as a tool for your pathetic revenge attempts.

Here's another lesson. When you sign a notice have the balls to put your name to it rather than hiding behind the cover of "Osaka Dingoes"

For those wishing to learn the game as it should be then contact the NAFL and see www.nafl.jp

Yours most sincerely

Andrew Carne (NAFL President)

You didn’t explain your comments. Please explain them.

Yes, you have a lot of experience but that does not mean you can damage football in the way you do.

So please explain your comments.

Thanks good information
