Only true footy fans!

AFL or should I say gayFL [Cheesey smile]

The origin is on next week. Go the Maroons!

I hope I haven't offended you victorians, you afl people; tsk tsk.

There will only be a lazy 90,000 turning up to the ground and about 5 million people watching on the telly for a regular home and away match. League can't get that for a final, in fact that would be a whole years attendance. At least the crime rate should be right down for the night because all the magpie supporters will be at the game or watching it on telly.

Here Here Cropper!!

Well that is impressive. Are they really fans or are they ther just to place bets on who throws the next game

You might want to look away now if you don't want to be embarassed

Scroll down the page and run you mouse over the teams to see the attendences. Notice the figure at the very bottom. Oh my

2010 AFL Attendance

Team Games Total Average Collingwood Magpies 8 481,793 60,224 Carlton Blues 8 443,255 55,407 Essendon Bombers 8 416,633 52,079 Hawthorn Hawks 8 372,578 46,572 Geelong Cats 8 345,845 43,231 Richmond Tigers 8 305,251 38,156 Melbourne Demons 8 299,160 37,395 St Kilda Saints 8 291,316 36,414 Fremantle Dockers 8 277,462 34,683 Western Bulldogs 8 275,322 34,415 West Coast Eagles 8 257,045 32,131 Brisbane Lions 8 251,349 31,419 Adelaide Crows 8 243,603 30,450 Port Adelaide Power 8 230,302 28,788 Sydney Swans 8 219,106 27,388 North Melbourne Kangaroos 8 207,490 25,936 ALL 64 2,458,755 38,418

wtf is my name on that list >.> can i be number 46 PLZ ( thats the number of my race car )

Well as I was born in VIC and raised in QLD, i'll throw my 2 bobs worth in. They are 2 completely different games. It's like comparing baseball to cricket!! I know its the age old comparison, but at the end of the day there is no comparison to be made.

Some people like AFL, some like NRL and some of us (like me) enjoy both. The fact is, and always has been, that AFL carries far greater spectators than NRL. I daresay the majority of people around AUS still consider rugby league, that game they play in NSW and QLD. That could be said about the old VFL and Melbourne, however the stats of spectators each year, tell a different story.

In the end, I say, watch what you love and love watching it. If you need to pay out on another football code, you may want to look at the REAL reason why you feel the need to do this??

Let the games begin!! Peace.

It does make for an excellent, stirring forum however...

You know Cropp, I have this ongoing thing with a lot of the people here at my work who like to hang it on things like attendance at NRL vs AFL. The thing that most of those people fail to realise (not you guys but...who knows?), is that in the two states that play rugby league, the most popular sport is surfing.

OK - some seriously great beaches in vic, but really the lifestyle in nsw and qld allows for many, many, MANY other activities. They don't have that so much in victoria.....there is this "this is your only sporting option" mentality. And the media up north don't jam the whole footy shit down your throat like they do in vic.

I've been living in vic for around 15 or so years and I've never had the inkling to go to an AFL game.

Sorry girls.....

But just in case you didn't notice...

THEREISASOCCER/FOOTBALLWORLDCUPSTARTINGSOON....

Who Cares about anything else???

LOL!!

And before you get your knives out... I am not a full on wogball fan but the world cup IS the World Cup... nuff said hehehe

Go Saints in RL and Carlton in AFL... MEH to the rest

M

AFL or NRL Both games for homosexuals!!!!! Any guy who gets excited about fir guys in tight shorts chasing each other has to like the sausage.

Give me my under 25 womens beach volleyball any day of the week, in fact women's under 25 anything apart from shot put, weight lifting hammer throw. I guess you get the pic

Unessocary thread...who gives a flying **** wether people prefer Aussie rules football or soccer or rugby...its just a sport...

Orh jasper, you're taking away a fun discussion. Hmm oppy13, I also love watching those sort of teams, but I prefer under 19s.

While we're at it, I think Union is better than league...because I play it

Hey guys,

It does not matter what sport u follow, the thing is we Aussie's are sports crazy and all sports in this great country of ours have fantastic following, thats what makes our sportsman & women so competitive the world over.

Jasper m8 if your noy interested ina subject in these forums of ours dont make a comment, it makes u stand out m8 (sorry m8 not trying to be a nasty old bastard)

As far as footy goes, soccer as we Aussie's call it is the only true football!

Nothing like a bit of friendly rivalry (which means absoloutely nothing by the way) between friends. A good old fashion bit of bs jsut see where it's leading to, nothing more. Oppy does have a point and like Drugzy said, makes for interesting forum reading, even if there isn't a point to it
And just in case you're wondering how this post started, I split it from Team annoucements about our clan bash. It was just heading off topic so I thought this would be a good home for the post.

Anyone for a nice game of two-up??

hmm i was wondering how i started this post (THANKS CROPPER) just to let all of you know it didnt start as nrl v afl it was a simple comment suggesting that nobody cares for the pies and the roos. my thoughts on afl or nrl or even soccer for that flaming mater is that i will sit and watch them all as long as i have good mates to watch it with and a beer in my hand so for those that (CROPPER) upset go and chew his ear off. oh yea curn the blues!
