AFL vs Soccer

The question is being asked what does the AFL need to do to combat the rise in soccer in Australia.  Well I think that the answer is wait.  If the AFL wait (Keep playing great football - Not like Richmond) the soccer will pass as fast as the Aussies fail in Germany.  Once the wait is over the Aussie players will head back to the money in England and other Europe countries and all will settle down back here where the best form of football is played.
