Gotta laugh at the AUSTRALIAN-EXCLUSIVE bit lolololol. Where the hell else is it gonna be watched. Of course its Australia-exclusive. No one anywhere else in the wide world gives a crap. AFL types are truly delusional lololol.

I guess it was a good idea to have it in Perth - they will lap this up. I do doubt how many will visit to watch the game though.

the AFL never pretends to be an international game or has large over seas viewership
League started off in the UK or somewhere tht part of the world, is a rip off of Union a game that is popular in Europe and Uk. the popularity of it continued over the centuries with migration.

its more laughable, the little international presence. its gone almost nowhere and survived off Union
