I remember one year in the NRL they had to give away tickets for the Grand Final just days out from the match.

I mean how embarrassing is that.

At the AFL Grand Final there are people willing to pay 4X the price of a ticket to get in.

I would imagine people, me included, listen in their cars when they can't get near a TV.

I just saw last nights ratings for AFL & NRL.

786,000 for the footy
385,000 for the Rugby League.

Yet you Rugby League guys think your sport is watched by more people than the AFL. Its laughable how deluded you are.

The Storm game got 32,000 viewers in Melbourne for a top 4 massive clash. That is a joke.

385,000 for a top 4 clash nationally is terrible AFLcrap!1.

Stop using excuses all the time.

I think it is without question that Aussie rules is the number 2 sport in Qld

numb 5

As far as the football codes: number 2.

Also not a big fan of suns playing home games away from Gold Coast either.

It makes sense that a side outside of the region when it plays draws more tourists


AFL fans do definitely travel more than NRL fans.


the 30K league fans from NSW & QLD who travelled to the SOO in Melbourne & the 20K to Perth

True. I am not too sure what is so controversial about a team who plays a game in Canberra draws more tourist and generates more tourist income than a local Canberra team? I mean if people are having to travel to the game the need accommodation, somewhere to eat, may take time to take in ...

Funny stuff beatup. Hey pal, what happened to the $600M deal? Oh yeah........that's right.........Gilty just told lies about it lololololol!!!!! And what about Paramount/10............oh yeah...........they were never interested.....more lies lolololololol!!!!!

And now it's all gone wery wery ...

If not a combined NT and North Queensland team, then yeah Canberra makes sense for the 20th team. Extra broadcast money would like you say, pay for it, along with lots of travelling fans to the ACT to support the local economy.


I’ve posted before that a Northern Australian team would also be a ...
