Isn't it great not to have melbourne?

[NlolRL]

That is Melbourne, in Sydney AFL is followed by a very different crowd. AFL is a rich Eastern Suburbs snobs game here.

You keep talking about ratings when the first two State of Origins and the NRL grand final clearly had alot more viewers than your AFL grand final :<>

whats wrong with wealthy people?

yes, they were also shown in prime time. When the game are up against each other like the first two weeks of the finals the AFL won easily

Nothing wrong with rich people, but upper class types is who the Sydney Swans mainly attract. Is a white collars game in Sydney.

Why do you think GWS is having so much trouble attracting interest in Sydney's West compared to the Wanderers who started after them?
Soccer and Rugby League have a much more working class appeal. AFL has a real dorky image in many parts too :_<>

maybe so, time will tell if the swans get a decent following eventually. However their crowds are tracking comparitively to the storm at the same time after they began, and the Giants are yet to get off the bottom of the ladder

state of origin is a state vs state gimmick
and the NRL GF is on prime time in the most viewed spot on the weekly tv calendar. what ever the networks put on a sunday nite it rates. the NRL worked this out because no one was watching their afternoon and evening grand finals. while the AFL is in a dead slot of saturday afternoon.
oh well you basement dwellers won't take any notice of this, but the AFL has revenue, crowd, memberships, sponsorship & participation figures to back it up.

Old dumbo shooting himself in the foot again..

According to mine boss dumbo ,a gimmick is bigger than any game of fumbleball every yr.

Lol .

You are a bright one

[leagueiscrap]

Give it time, most of your AFL clubs have had 80+ years in promotion. You can start crowing when AFL is actually followed seriously in more than for states only.

no no, you sad the HAD a strong following. Now you're conceding the needtime

I am talking about the massive head start the Swans had over the Storm, Melbourne Storm started with nothing while half the Swans Supporters are original South Melbourne fans with 50 plus years of history in Melbourne and another 30 plus in Sydney.. Yet AFL is still shown mostly on low rating Sub Channels here though and never makes front page sports news here.... so how can AFL be taken seriously here with coverage like that???

Nice try clown :_<>

but but ratings
why is it the swans are the biggest club in NSW
membership, crowds, football revenue, sponsorship
the storm are a financial basket case for the low amount of money needed to run an NRL side rarely turned a profit. based in the centre of melbourne , in a sports man state. their membership and crowd levels are crap
30, 50 years how ever long the storm will be around for they will always be irrelevant

[King-Eliagh]

The storm should be booted in my opinion. We don't need em :D

[ParraEelsNRL]

Your talking fox, but on free to air their ratings are usually about 1/8th of NRL games in Sydney when it comes to ratings.
AFL is more a rich persons sport here in Sydney anyway. Most of their supporters are from the lower North Shore and Eastern Suburbs or inner city.
I can't see it ever attracting Sydneys large working class areas. Has a real stigma attached to it as been for white middle and upper class people only. How many Islanders, Westies and Arabs do you see into AFL in Sydney. Pretty much none.

swans games have been 70-80k in prime time on fta. Plus its shown concurretly on fox with Sydney having the countries highest subsription rates. all up 100k minimum per game. not bad given a number of NRL games rate under 400k on FN

as for this "rich persons" sport rubbish, the AFL crosses all financial classes. You only have to look at Collingwoods average fan to see that.

And a real figure was never given nor given a fuck about aye

The swans might be a big club, but nobody celebrates their finals wins here like they do with Sydney NRL clubs. Are just here but people could not give two shits about the swans in general.
If they had won, everyone would still be talking about the real Sydney club South Sydney.
They always have and always will have more respect than your boring victoria game lol

There are no heroics in AFL, is just a game played by fairies and followed by them too :_<>

[King-Eliagh]

Hair pulling testicle nibblin fairies

[lol@buttsniffing]

I agree with the self proclaimed King. Fuck the Melbourne "cheating" Storm off. We don't need that shit or the pathetic culture it brings with it. Anyone see the live cross from a pub in Redfern the other day. Quality humans there. I honestly hope the AFL never appeals to epsilon such as these

[King-Eliagh]

Would ya listen to this stuck up chardy sippin hyfalutin snot ball.

"Redfern people" it says like a stuck up haughty pompous turd.

What's wrong with ur head dude? >

[lol@buttsniffing]

Whats wrong with yours condoning some bloke flashing his cock in the middle of the day while on live television. Really. You think this is cool. Ive spent a lot of time in Sydney and you know as well as me there isn't many working class left in Redfern.

[King-Eliagh]

Wtf are you on about ya snobby twat mouthed dribbler. Explain urself for fukks sake

[lol@buttsniffing]

You obviously didn't see the live cross from the pub then dickhead.Honestly can you read. Youtube it then tell me what you think

[lol@buttsniffing]

And its highfalutin. Maybe you should use smaller words

[King-Eliagh]

You obviously assume all see what you see. A dumb ignorant snob I definitely got you picked!
