Apparently the AFL CEO wants the 20th AFL team in Brisbane. Not sure how that could work. The lions have really struggled for support when they are low on the table.

AFL boss Andrew Dillon on the future of footy in Queensland
The AFL sees Queensland as the key battleground state to grow the game ...

Yeah the storm will be out for revenge for sure. Likely will be against the Panthers like you said.

Maybe Swans in the grand final again too.

Poor crowd numbers for the final match in Las Vegas ...

Looks like the GWS logo.

The AFL Grand Final and the Superbowl are very very alike.
Not in game playing rules but the amount of National pride and passion both events generate.
Both are much loved sporting events representing a sport unique to its country and developed from within.
NFL is the favourite much loved sport ...

The Lions winning the flag was big headlines in Brisbane. At least they know its footy, same as Sydney with the Swans.

Whereas if the Storm won the Premiership in Rugby League then most Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, NT & Tasmanians would have no idea the difference if its Rugby or Rugby League ...

Azif no one in half of your country knows the difference between Rugby & Rugby League. That shows how popular it is here in Australia. At least everyone knows what footy is here whether they like it or not :)


AFL is not even known as footy in NSW & Qld. It is just called AFL. Don't forget you ...

AFL (Australian Rules Football) was invented in Australia & is our national football code. Rugby League is popular in Australia but is still very much foreign to most normal Australians.

NFL (Gridiron) was invented in USA & is their national football code. Rugby League is played their also but ...

They need the Penrith Panthers to give them a pep talk before their next Grand Final.

I think the Penrith Panthers train way harder than the Sydney Swans though. Their players look a lot more like elite athletes.

If the AFL can get 10000 thousand in NZ and China without even trying then that figure is great.
Now if the AFL gave both countries a 100 % commitment those figures would be massive.

Big future for the AFL to grow in these areas .
The key is commitment, stop wasting money on the surplus NM type ...

Great game.

Meanwhile, do people even know the AFL W is still going :lol: :lol:

Oh but wait they have the AFL international cup with no tv coverage and no crowds. :lol:


Pity you can’t get decent crowds in your heartland regular games.


pity you can't anywhere else on god greens earth ...

RU is way bigger in the UK
AFL is way bigger in Australia
Combination of GF crowds proves nothing.


Globally Rugby League is bigger than AFL. You have zero ...

Well I guess Foody (as you call it) is shit & everyone in the world loves Rugby/Rugby League :)


Well more in the world like it than AFL. Kiwis, Poms and Pacific Islanders aren't turning up to an AFL game in any significant numbers lol .

Pretty sure League is already better known than AFL in ...

I think you love NRL players Asif :).


The AFL male fans probably like their male players a lot more in general lol...
Like where do I start, from banning cheerleaders, to having gay pride rounds, to having their male players wear less than all other football codes... really says a lot about ...

Round 2

our American friend decided to push his luck
after shit mixing a fumbler & believing he was now able to handle any Australian footballers
( if you could class fumblers as footballers )

He next lined up against NRL Players ..... & .... very quickly wished he hadn't
