“Get any major football club like Manchester United to play in Sydney. They will gets bigger crowd than the Swans and Giants.” As they would beat the NRL clubs too, as the Swans do now,. A 1 off game, even a series of “marque” games proves nothing. The swans average home attendance this year is 29,...

Yeah was an absolute disaster for AFL.

And when will that happen? Don't know but odd that you'd boast about placement you pay for Not odd at all, I agree that the 2 newer AFL clubs are dependant on the AFL, more than the Storm are dependant on the NRL...how much is debatable. But they recoup it on broadcast rights and sponsorship, and w...

Isn’t this enough.

Any footage of the game being actually played in those countries though.

Like Rugby League in Russia

I don’t think the pacific island body type is suited to AFl as it is rugby and rugby league. Although there has been a couple in Afl. As for Turks and Lebanese I would be interested to know that too. I would imagine there would have to be a few going around. Still want to know how many Sudanese in ...

China here we come???

Agree soccer is popular at a junior level across the country I think. When you look at other measures though like crowds, memberships, revenue, tv ratings, media coverage is soccer still in front of Aussie Rules? If so, I’d say you have a point. I honestly don’t know but do hear soccer rates fairly...

Yes, soccer is more popular than AFL in NSW, except in ratings, attendance, sponsorship, membership and revenue...but otherwise... Membership lol.. Is AFLs membership above the 200,000 paying registered soccer players in NSW? I am betting soccer is making more money than AFL in NSW with 200,000 pla...

To me it makes no sense. Why not just let Canberra have their own team. Is like putting a new NBL team in Melbourne but playing half their games in Bendigo. Is beyond stupid. They will never have a big impact in Western Sydney when they play half their games in another region that is completely diff...

49 is actually older than I thought. Was thinking 30s.

Why don't they just play Ireland. That is the only other country AFL has potential to grow.

AFL is light years behind Soccer is Sydney. That is pretty funny. Really… hmm you lot love to point out tv ratings as a measure of popularity right??? Well let’s look at yesterday’s tv ratings for Sydney and compare the codes. • AFL triumphs as Super Rugby GF airs on Nine TV Ratings Seven easily wo...

Considering the international relationship between the two countries. I am betting AFL has abandoned all plans in China. And let's be honest, AFL never resonated with the Chinese. I think Canada and the U.S will have professional Rugby League clubs before AFL even thinks about playing another game i...

What a revelation!

Maybe, just maybe that's why the AFL is far higher scoring!

Why don't AFL make their goal scoring system more difficult like the NRL field goals?
Then only the best kickers will score.
