This quote from Gilligan gives the real reason they have gone with this freak show of a game, "there’s an opportunity here that means we can get onto different ovals in New South Wales". Yep, as I alluded to in an earlier post this is the real game plan for this mess. They will go to thei...

if soccer is a contact sport then pretty much every team ball sport is contact, including basketball, netball, hockey etc In hockey, you are penalized for hitting another opponent with the ball, so no not contact, similar to basketball hitting the arm of another player equals a foul, if you think n...

You think soccer involves nearly as much contact as ARs? You said it wasn't a contact sport,your claim was black and white, not grey. I NEVER said it had MORE or AS MUCH contact as AFL, jesus christ, you need to actually look at what you wrote. Words have meaning. if soccer is a contact sport then ...

Like i said, you really have no idea. You think soccer involves nearly as much contact as ARs? You said it wasn't a contact sport,your claim was black and white, not grey.

LOL, so a direct comparison between two Sydney derby and this poster goes but but but. God the AFL fanboys are so predictable

Like i said, you really have no idea.

Why would there be a pro-stadium petition. The decision has been made to build the stadiums, there is no need to CHANGE, which is what a petition is for. Jesus Weeps at your stupidity

If you think football isn't a contact sport you really don't have a clue

So, if you were building stadiums for a City, Perth built 1 Stadium for $1.3 Billion which will be used for what 5 months a year at best? Sydney is building 3 Stadiums at a cost of $1.6 Billion which all 3 of them will be used 10-12 months per year. Now which do you think provides better value for M...

it is about 800 down on last years average crowd, so yea a MASSIVE difference, idiots. BTW bigger crowds for Sydney FC v Wanderers than Swans V Giants, after all isn't that what you like comparing, Swans v NRL Teams? Two team city A league v AFL in Sydney and AFL doesn't even come close to the prope...

Football allows 3 replacements, that's it, no interchange.

Football midfielders run about 11-12 km per game, no interchange, little to no breaks, constant moving transition from defense into attack. So sorry but you AFL players having a whinge about running and needing a break. From a social football perspective, I have runners social runners, that run half...

Why do they need to 'put money in' all three of those organisations have guaranteed major events for next X years. Which DWARFS $10 million that the AFL throws in. Mind you would love to know IF the AFL then gets honeymoon rental agreements, wouldn't surprise me if they did. So Government might get ...

I know what you meant, I was highlighting the point the Stadium in Sydney is used all year around, the Perth Stadium for a few months

The gain is unproven though where as Perths is based on demand. What demand, you said current stadium is almost full every week, really? Who played there last week? The week before?, The week before that? Who is playing there on Saturday January 6th? According to Austadiums last used 18/11 for inte...
