Every footy fan thinks they can improve the great game of AFL.

But if you won the jackpot lottery in Powerball of almost half a billion dollars, and were forced to spend it on AFL, how would you use the money and what would actually do to develop the game?

Perhaps you would help your own club better improve their facilities and their off-field football department.

The best training methods and weighs and recovery rooms in the competition would not doubt give your club an advantage over the competition.

Or for the true football lovers who want to see the game grow, a big win in the Powerball lottery could spark a huge injection of cash into grass roots football, to ensure the growth and development of the game.

Or maybe, you are a local footy star and want to fastrack your own development to the big league by putting your Powerball winnings towards ensuring you have the best facilities and pay the best coaches in the country to take your  game to the next level.

If we won the nearly half a billion in the Powerball, we would invest the money into grass roots footy. Local footy clubs, particularly those in regional areas are crying out for extra funds to keep their club afloat, and donating the money into local footy would be the first port of call.
