1. he was paid to promote the game. Not sure saying it's difficult is promoting it. If anything you'd want to say it's wasy so it appeals to more people
2. Again it's pure assumption on your part to say his comments were based on income
3. Even if he was paid to say it, that doesnt mean it wasnt his honest opinion anyway
4. He made these comments recently yet retired in 2014. Are you saying the AFL are still paying him?
Is'nt it funny how the NRL or Union has never found the need to poach AFL players for first grade.
No AFL player has ever made first grade Rugby League and no AFL player probably ever will.

Re: Why Polynesians don't like AFL
No AFL players just are'nt built to play league. Would be like trying to get a netball player to play rugby.
And why waste money on an AFL player when you could get someone from Union who would be way better.

Re: Why Polynesians don't like AFL
Last comment makes sense .. unless it is purely for marketing as per hunt and falou.
I think an afl player would have to bulk up indeed which is not hard ... and would depend on position as well. Just as hunt and falou had to trim down and increase aerobic capacity. But you are correct .., be easier to get someone from union as game is similar.

Re: Why Polynesians don't like AFL
Still to this day i do not understand why they got Folau for Western Sydney... "Giants"
he Played for Melbourne Storm and Brisbane Broncos and Played for Maroons..
He was a winger and had little kicking skills..

On one hand they were saying they were giving the smaller white kids a chance to play at another sport instead of getting smashed by much bigger poly kids .
Then they get a poly to try to attract the poly community to fumbles .
But wait there's more
they get a QLD SOO player to promote fumbles in west Syd .
Anyone with an IQ above .5 knew that it wasn't just dumb ....it had gone way past that
It was a giant fuck up from day 1
The only winner was Falou who banked a fortune & the Rl community that got first class comedy from it .
TLPG liar extraordinaire

Any code that puts so much time money and investment in a player and then for them to quit early is pretty embarrassing.
Was a bad look for AFL.

Re: Why Polynesians don't like AFL
hehe i guess soccer wins out then as we have polynesians, asians and africans playing in the a-league
just saying this as someone made a comment about body types possibly making people from certain backgrounds exclusively associated to only 1 sport...just isn't true.
of course if you're generalizing all polys being 6 foot 4, 120 kg bouncer like tanks then that might be the case...but not every polynesian is built like that

Re: Why Polynesians don't like AFL
LOL AFL with it's token non white players in a sport which is 99% white.

I'm not sure how good your maths is but that would seem to add up to more than 100%
Of course the game is mainly Caucasian, that's what Australia is primarily made up of

AFL has even postponed it's indigenous all stars match till 2019. I am guessing due to lack of good players.
When AFL can form international games which tv networks want to buy and crowds want to watch. We might actually take what you say half seriously.
AFL AUSTRALIAN FUNNY LEAGUE
