OI! It said in the second article that it was ST.KILDA doing the covering up! Don't blame the cops for that - they can't investigate if the club doesn't co-operate! The Brisbane Times is a mucky tabloid along the lines of the National Enquirer. Besides if I was to do an NRL search the list would be...

Okay I've had a look, and the majority of NRL crowds in Sydney have been below 20K. There have been a few below 10K. The Swans are yet to have a crowd below 20K, and won't. ummm ... didn't you say Swans crowds always thrash Sydney NRL crowds ..always ? in fact your inference was it takes 3 Sydney N...

One or two incidents , and it's St.Kilda doing the covering up - not the cops. Just calling it rubbish without verifiable proof is not an excuse for name calling. one or two :_<> ... theres as many or more as there is in the NRL .. a list as long as your arm stop being a tool for once & pay att...

Meanwhile the alcohol related BS continues unabated in Sydney........ And personal abuse is against this forum's guidelines just by the way. and the covering up of all manor of crimes committed by AFL players .. mainly by the Victorian Police continues unabated in Melbourne stop posting rubbish &am...

The pair of you have no idea. AFL on the Sapphire Coast is strong. Not as strong as the Riverina, granted, but stronger than other regional areas. AFL in Cairns is way stronger than it is in Townsville. Oh, they do play AFL in Townsville, Mackay and Rockhampton BTW. Foxtel want Austar because of th...

The Swans -where are they nearly thirty years down the track? Best to compare to other AFL teams who while they may have 50k at a game can rely on having around 500k watching a FTA game so for every fan at the game they have ten watching. For the Swans well they close to having a one to one ratio. ...

the Govt spends money where it sees a need .. the League venues in the ACT are in pretty good nick & the AFL ones dilapidated... again .. this has ZERO influence on a sports popularity anyway. ROTFLMAO! Are you serious?? Who in their right mind would go to a poor venue? Name me ONE venue that h...

You pulled out everything that AFL players have done in that short post. NRL players have done way more than that - that we know of given the clubs have a bad habit of covering things up! Especially in Sydney! For every single AFL controversy there's about five NRL . LOL you're a peanut the AFL is ...

Attendances. Salaries. Presence at all levels. Credibility off field (oh there's a big one!). Safety. yeah players picking up under age school girls at clinics arranged by the AFL & player agents having sex & doing drugs with them has credibility written all over it .. doesn't it :roll: rac...

On the ACT - how come the government there spends more on Ainslie, Manuka, Tuggeranong and Jamison (the four main AFL venues in Canberra for those playing at home) than they do on ANY rugby venue? Answer me that! And I can tell you that the ratings would be good for Prime - if they would just take ...

ummm what ? SE Qld is not League Heartland ? this would be the same place that attracted 890K state of origin Veiwers .. & with the Gold coast .. over 1 million veiwers :? where 2 origins sold out in 14 minutes .. thats 105K seats gone in less then a 1/4 of an hour thats a game of RL you know &...

Enarelle, practical fact. FTA TV in the regional areas is a joke - for both AFL and NRL. They treat the regionals with contempt. That's where the majority of TV viewers come from. That's why Austar is not a factor like you think it is. Second, the Riverina, the ACT, South East Queensland and Cairns...

Regional markets don't matter to the tv networks bidding. Bids for football tv rights are based on the almighty capital cities where the AFL dominates. a myth put forward by the AFL & its clueless supporters its where advertising is written that counts for TV execs & advertisers 67% is writ...

League is just running into a brick wall but AFL is going around over under etc AFL looks like a mad womens t.urd its all ova the place its like 36 sea gulls fighting over a hot chip its a ridiculous sport that half of the country it was invented in cannot stand & want nothing to do with there ...

Apparently there were 6,700 odd fans at CUA Stadium in Penrith on Monday night. Yeah right :roll: Finally an NRL CEO admits what we have always known. NRL crowds numbers are commonly fudged. Storm CEO claims crowd figures inflated Stathi Paxinos June 1, 2011 MELBOURNE Storm chief executive Ron Gauc...
