Can AFL clubs learn from Barcelona?

Real and Barca definitely do - take most of it in fact - and then La Liga negotiates for the remaining clubs - and that portion of the rights, for the remaining 18 La Liga clubs, is only marginally greater than the value of the AFL rights, which is a pretty good result on the part of the AFL considering Australia's smaller population and the fact that soccer in Spain has next to no competition.

Copy Barcelona? I don't see any AFL clubs giving millions of dollars to their shirt sponsor.
No, Different sport, different rules.
The holding the ball rule in Aussie Rules tends to negate the benefit of possession. Possession only works in Aussie Rules if you get a mark or free kick, even then you only get about 10 seconds (in general play) before the umpire calls play-on. Any loose ball or contested ball situation the team in possession can be tackled and pinged for holding the ball, the rule discourages possession for the sake of it, players must seek to move the play on. In soccer players have the luxury of knowing they can't be pinged for holding the ball.
So no, I can't see what tactics a particular soccer team has developed under a different set of rules would be specifically transferable to an AFL team.
Possession in Aussie Rules, you'll jst give up free after free for HTB, or cough up turnovers.

No, they don't
And it doesn't.
And it wouldn't.
But nice try.
Back on the OP, every team plays a possession game when they can, and go longer to a contest when there are no other options, and they are too close to their own goal for precision. This is the same for Barca or Carlton, maybe less so for the Miami Heat. (Yes, Barca play the long ball sometimes, just don't tell Craig Foster...)
The obvious difference in our sport is having someone on your arse with the right to physically mess with your ability to dispose with precision.

Yes you are right my bad was an oversight. Was thinking of the national side as I was going.
Point still stands regarding players like Puyol, Piqué and Busquets. All of them very strong opponents.

Isolated incident.
He is still very good at dishing it, which makes him a strong player when he plays the ball or the man.

So are you going to try and tell me that Basketball is on a similar level as soccer in Spain, like, say, Australian Football and Rubgy League in Australia?
Are Basketball TV ratings on par with soccer in Spain?
Without even looking at the numbers, I'd say to you they are absolutely nowhere near it.
Are there any autonomous communities in Spain where you can say basketball is much bigger than Soccer?
Do the very biggest basketball clubs in Spain manage to earn even 10% of what Barca and Real earn per annum?
I'd be surprised if they are even earning 5% of what they earn.
