I am born & bred in Brisbane. I actually don't mind Origin in Rugby League but it is nothing compared to the footy/AFL in Melbourne in terms of passion. The only thing i can compare it to is Football/Soccer in England & Europe. I dont know why this triggers you so much. The only thing I can ...

Terry if you think Brisbane is more of a sport city & more of a world city than Melbourne then you seriously are as crazy as I thought you are. Melbourne if the sports capital of the world & gets voted most liveable city year in year out yet you think Brisbane if more known around the world ...

Oh & when the mighty lions win the premiership this year in the footy & the Broncos, Dolphins & titans don't make the finals in the rugby league then we will look back on your terrible post just before & laugh.

"whiteywhite ball" you call Australia's national sport. WOW nothing racist about that comment at all... I bet you wouldn't do that for cricket which has more "white" players than any sport in this great country of ours. I think you need to sort yourself out truthbomber as I like ...

Hang on so now you are saying the newspapers in Footy states print racism about AFL.

A few months ago you were all saying they hide it under the carpet because the sport is so popular there.

You guys seriously have issues with AFL they you cant even get your stories straight.

Its pathetic.

There is nothing wrong with being white mate. As I just said everyone is equal & should be judged on their character not their skin colour yet it seems all you want to do is bring up race all the time because most AFL players are white. You would probably be an Adam Goodes fan I bet. Most great ...

That's like saying just because most golfers & soccer players are white then they must be white racist sports. Just because Polynesians tend to play Rugby more does not make Footy, Golf, Netball, Soccer & other sports racist. It just means they are better at playing Rugby. Each to their own ...

I think you are getting mixed up with Rugby Union Terry where all their players are from white rich private schools. In Footy states everyone follows the footy. In NSW/QLD there is a divide. The rich snobby rich kids play Rugby Union & the more rough poor kids play league. AFL does not have this...

I am pretty sure the AFL only did a night Grand Final because those games were in Brisbane (2020) & Perth (2021) because of Covid in Melbourne. Nothing to do with the NRL

Now it is back at the home of football it will stay at the 2:30pm timeslot.

Rugby League has copied AFL in every single thing since its inception in 1908.

It will never change.

Sydney hate AFL more than Brisbane does so how would this magic round work there?!

The Gabba had a magic round for about a year in 2020. It was because of Covid & no one hardly went to most of the games.

I don't see how that would change in 2023 for a magic round as not many people really follow the footy in Brisbane other some Lions games.

The AFL does not need $5-10 Million.

They would make that anyway without the magic round as they get massive crowds all around the country each round.

70% of the crowd were supporting the Parramatta Eels also & they were the team that got thrashed.

It would have been a disaster for them.

Why would the AFL want to do a magic round like the NRL! I just don't get it. Obviously it works in the NRL as no one goes to the games in Sydney so doing it in Brisbane makes sense for the NRL cause they really have nothing to lose. AFL would be stupid to copy this ridiculous thing as they don't ne...
