Why Polynesians don't like AFL
This is an older article, but I think it is still as relevent today with so few Islanders seeming to want to play AFL.
A lot don't even consider it a contract sport.

Re: Why Polynesians don't like AFL
I don't think their body size suits afl. Nothing wrong with that. I think they are more suited to the crash and tackle of rl and ru.

Re: Why Polynesians don't like AFL
Deflection .
You picked two races .
Lol
Are they the only two races in the world
Does having a sudo player make it far better than a player from another nationality
Roll out your players from other nationalities .
It will be an eye opener for you .

Re: Why Polynesians don't like AFL
Is Sudans Chol Chol playing for Melborne Storms under 20s.
Is a whole rugby league comp in Thailand too.
http://www.trlrugby13.com
But making it to NRL level is no breeze. No AFL player has ever been able to cross codes into NRL first grade. So will take a while for other cultures to make first grade.
The amount of Asian and Sudenese players in AFL is hardly anything to crow about. Is still a very majority white anglo game. Your not fielding competitive international AFL teams like Rugby League can.
Where is AFLs Pacific Test? Where is AFLs 4 nations?

Re: Why Polynesians don't like AFL
While AFL can't even field a team of decent players from any other nations. Thanks for that.
