Pacific Test showing AFL how international footy is done.

[Fred]

And that's a problem because?

Still the biggest sport in the country by a long way.

[NlolRL]

yep, the NRL

AFL is the only sport which can't grow outside of one country. Nothing changes that fact.

you sure about that?

At least we can grow across Australia

70,000 on a saturday afternoon between two Melbourne suburban sides - the 5th game in 7 rounds to reach more than 70,000 attendees - why would they give a shit about internationals?

Because Melbourne has a population of 5 mill and the world has a population of 7.5 bill. Pretty simple really.

id much rather huge crowds here, and nothing overseas than poor crowds here and poor crowds in a few other nations

[AFLcrap1]

Poor crowds here .
Oh my

By what standards .

[Fred]

When you average 15-20,000 a game, its poor by an AFL standard.

Touché

[AFLcrap1]

Lol he said here .
We beat the aleague &
super rugby in this country .
Two of our main competitors
So saying we are poor is laughable .
We are in the top 25 attendances world wide
Also beat every domestic Ru comp worldwide .

Who cares about fumbleball standards. No one cares about FB outside Melbourne and the desert states. No one overseas has ever heard of it.

RL gets the biggest domestic crowds of any Rugby or RL comp in the world beating both the English RU, RL and the French, NZ and SA RU.

French soccer gets average crowds of 20,000 and have won a world cup and have a population of 67 mill. Italian soccer gets average crowds of just over 20,000 with a population of 60 mill. and have won 4 world cups. And they have powerhouse clubs that are known worldwide.......yep......even better known than Collingwood and your other little Melbourne suburban teams.

RL gets average crowds between 15 - 20,000 with a base following of 12 mill. By world standards RL is doing just fine. In fact I would say RL does very very well.

By world standards FB beats every competition everywhere per head of population... so congratulations.

The question I would ask is what drives people to this fumbling mess of a game?? Is Melbourne a cultural vacuum devoid of sophistication and class? Does it have a putrid stinking river run through the middle of it? Will the people do anything and go anywhere to forget the dreary sad lives they lead in bleak city? Seems the answer is yes.

As for little Adelaide and Perth: if you drive 10km out from the CBD you're in the desert. Is it any wonder these poor simpletons flock to FB on the weekends to block out the boredom and humiliation of their miserable existence.

[Fred]

So what about Sydney swans? Hmmmmm why do Sydneysiders flock to the game?

And Gold Coast .. an nrl heartland still get near on the same as the local team.

Brisbane does okay too considering rl heartland.

And what is the actual average for the nrl so far this year?


afl remains the biggest sporting organisation in this country by a country mile ... there's a reason for that .

[Terry]

You don't seem to get the point Fred, which is usual for you as you lack basic cognitive function.....i.e. you're a dill!!

I don't care what fumbleball get or why they get it. By world standards RL crowds are very good. With the money now in the game and infrastructure being provided in Sydney I would expect a gradual increase toward a 20,000 average - the same as the Serie A. Simple as that.

And how can FB be the 'biggest sporting organisation in this country by a country mile' when RL outrated it last year by millions of viewers and will do so again this year?

Now cue groundhog day as Fred waffles on with the same brainless drivel he spits out day after day.

Note to Fred: I won't be replying to any more of your moronic posts on this thread. Case Closed.

[NlolRL]

Heading towards 20k hey? That claim was made a few years ago and since then crowds have gone backwards. Yes, AFL gets good crowds on average, while RL languishes well behind

We are talking international footy and Fred brings up the Sydney Swans Are they an international footy team now are they?

[NRL&NFLweLaughATafl]

At the end of the day videos like this prove AFL is the international footy joke we all know it is.

This is your AFL World Cup final

[NlolRL]

How long will it take until you realise we actually dont care?

Ims sure NFL fans dont care about having a world cup
