That was a very close match too. Would never have predicted South's to be there either.

You would think they would want to put a team in Canberra before the Northern Territory. Canberra is the largest city without their own AFL team.

I've heard the AFL women's is a full competition now with all teams having a women's side?

How can they have AFL at the Olympics when no other countries play their game That has to be fake news.

It could never be like Rugby7s, which is actually highly entertaining and competitive.

Can you tell us how many afl clubs in NSW. I do not know but would have thought it was more than 126. Thought it would have been higher for soccer too. Re: the other points re: grounds and such would be good to have some actual figures too. Re: media. You seem to compare AFL to NRL in your comments...

Until I see AFL on prime time tv stations all the time in Sydney and on the top rating radio stations. I will remain far from convinced that AFL is number 2. Swans AFL ratings are regularly higher than the national metro ratings for soccer and not far off the national metro ratings for Rugby, let a...

Until I see AFL on prime time tv stations all the time in Sydney and on the top rating radio stations. I will remain far from convinced that AFL is number 2. And the A-League and Super Rugby are broadcast on prime time tv and radio stations in Sydney? Seriously :(/ Again from an NRL clubs own repor...

Thank god this Never gained any traction. The only thing that stopped it was a world war. Would have ended up like the NFL with 30 plus teams and a football code superpower dominant throughout the nation. I wouldn't mind seeing them trying to play this game now with the best of AFL vs the best of N...

I’m thinking you’re lying there LeRoy re: 40 dropped balls and such. Exoect better from you. But that Latrell… how fat is he ? And he is one of the elites. Seriously, he is pretty fat for a guy playing at that level. Imagine how fat he is going to be when he stops training. I thought the days of a ...

6 points in a goal. Decided on Friday 26/2/1897 The below was reported in several newspapers of the time, including all the colonies, but below are the best I could cut and paste Coolgardie Mining Review Saturday 3rd April 1897 “THE VICTORIAN GAME. The New Victorian Football League has been making ...

Until I see AFL on prime time tv stations all the time in Sydney and on the top rating radio stations. I will remain far from convinced that AFL is number 2. AFL has less grounds and players than Rugby Union in NSW too. So it is even questionable to say the AFL is ahead on Rugby Union when everythin...

AFL is not really a media earner in NSW. If it was the sport would be showed on Channel 7 instead of 7mate. Even the AFL footy show is shown on Gem instead of Ch9. Even with the top rating radio station 2GB. They only cover NRL games because that is where the audience is. Most Swans games this seas...

Some of the best goals in afl are kicked from crazy angles which a cross bar would take out of the game. Also, if you mark the ball on the goal line or received a handball you’d have to go further out to kick it over. I think trying to evaluate one game based on the rules of another you are familia...

It is a bit of a Granny sounds team, Swans aren't the most agile animals. Kind of suits AFL.

I would still watch it over an AFL game. They have to start from somewhere.
