Re: Is AFL even a real football code.
I think the key element here in defining something as football is how often the foot plays a part in controlling the ball.
I have no issue with Rugby Union or League being called football as I assume there is an historical element to how it got its name - I am guessing something to do with Soccer (football) and Union deriving from that game - and later League from Union. But to call out a game that has far more use of the foot kicking the ball then either Rugby code, as not being "football" - well - to use your own words - "Fark - - do you ...realise how stupid that sounds".
And to then criticise a sport because you are allowed to hold the ball with your hands and state it is not football because of this - then claim the Rugby codes are football - when that is the main part of the game...... seriously.

Re: Is AFL even a real football code.
I think any soccer enthusiast would demand they are the true football. They hate soccer as a term. So they hate any other football calling themselves football. But when it comes to using your foot with the ball... soccer and Australian rules share a common ground. I have no problem with soccer seeing themselves as the true football nowadays.

For starters almost no one can tell the difference between league or union!
Ones a popular game around the world and the other is a direct dumbed down rip off!
The version you follow is the latter that thinks itβs popular on its own not from then more popular union

Re: Is AFL even a real football code.
Lol your jealousy is laughable
We are international .
Not very big at all internationally ..no one claims that .
Yet compared to afl internationally we are in different universes.
Over 100 years of test history between Aust ...England & Nz ( you know Aust old enemies in many sports) says your rants are the hysterics of a jealous fool
RL internationally has nothing to do with RU ..yet that's your standard rant .
laughable

Re: Is AFL even a real football code.
AFL is nothing more than a land of a few million people girt by the Murray River.
Rugby League, the dominant force in Australian sport!

Re: Is AFL even a real football code.
No one plays Aussie rules north of the Murray
Despite the strong amateur comps and teams all the way through NSW and Qld all the way to the top end!
The current listed players from those regions currently on afl lists that could form teams several times over!
Yep no one plays afl up there

Re: Is AFL even a real football code.
We, by far the majority of Australian Rules fans, donβt care our code is not international, donβt even think about it, just the name, Australian Rules should give you some idea...you Chuckball people keep bringing up 2 things consistently, SOO and international games, because that is all youβve got, Chuckball domestic comps are crap, NRL is the best of a bad lot and still you lose a lot of your best players to other comps. When your major broadcaster says teams need to go....join the dots...AFLcrap1 wrote: βSat Aug 31, 2019 11:40 pmLol your jealousy is laughable

There are lies, damn lies and then there are ratings.
Rugby league, Australias most popular game in some of North Eastern Australia.

Re: Is AFL even a real football code.
AFL fans don't care because they accept AFL can't grow outside Australia. They know it is not an internationally marketable sport like Soccer, League, Union etc..Quolls2019 wrote: βSun Sep 01, 2019 6:04 pmWe, by far the majority of Australian Rules fans, donβt care our code is not international, donβt even think about it, just the name, Australian Rules should give you some idea...you Chuckball people keep bringing up 2 things consistently, SOO and international games, because that is all youβve got, Chuckball domestic comps are crap, NRL is the best of a bad lot and still you lose a lot of your best players to other comps.

No other nation will ever take seriously a game with 6 goals and played on a cricket field.
