Aboriginal All Stars vs Carlton attracted a huge record sellout crowd of 17000 in 2003, these figures won't be beaten for years. AFL cannot afford to lose its dominance in NT as is is such fantastic recruiting area of skilful scintillating players have contributed enormously to the game. Many player...

That's not what happened to South Melbourne. The members had no say in it. Club exec said yes. And the AFL can also take the license off North and either give it back to them on the proviso they move to Tassie, or tell them to nick off and give Tassie the license anyway - with the ability to have f...

Geez this will have the fumblers frothing & foaming .
The jealousy will just ooze out of their posts

Certainly a mixture of rules from some British public schools with some local adaption's at the start. Nothing to do with Gaelic football. And not invented by Wills, besides writing the initial letter suggesting formation of a football club, he was pretty much ignored by the other members of the fi...

The AFL is wrong. That history is incomplete.

I think membership figures are so all over the place they are hardly a measure of anything!

You imputed it because it's NSW that has the least amount of games of FTA. Fact. With the shovelling to 7mate as part of the issue. You either make up stuff or see things that are not there. You assume absurdities…I did not say NSW was the biggest AFL market nor did I mention 7 mate. Again see belo...

There we have it
As predicted
Comparing an afl final with an ordinary RL rd game
Desperate much .
I would be too if my code was getting towelled up in the ratings

to be fair, you guys frequently compare Origin/Rep ratings to things that arent Origin/Rep fixtures in the AFL.

The NRL with Parramatta vs Melbourne playing for a Top 4 spot was live on Channel 9 and ranked 52nd in Melbourne with 32,000 viewers. Meanwhile, Brisbane vs Richmond in the AFL on 7mate was ranked 43rd in Sydney. Gee whiz Sydney 4 Nine THURSDAY NIGHT NRL LIVE 8 Nine THURSDAY NIGHT NRL LIVE -PRE MATC...

Sure thing bummy. But of course when you break down the numbers proportionately to respective broadcast lengths, and advertisement time availability, RL is easily the most valuable sport on Australian TV. You know this but your raging bias and fumble fever will preclude you from ever admitting it. ...

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 good...

If this doesn’t make a mockery of the AFL calling the seconds league for Vic, NSW, qld the VFL than I don’t k is what will. Three teams in the qualifying finals of the VFL?? Great for footy in QLD and all, but seriously!!! Anyway, I’ll be down there next week at Southport Sharks. Should be a good ga...

Tasmania needs to be sooner than that.

Prefer the soccer way where they celerbrate the best team as who is the best of the season is who finishes atop. But it is what it is. Often the best team in the year does not win the grand final. By all means have an end of year knock out comp (which is how I view finals) but the team that is cons...
