AFL in New South Wales is flying high

[Terry]

Ok fumblers I'm back from holidays in the Caribbean and taking notice of this ridiculous site. So I will state one fact that the great Wookie can verify - If you add TV ratings and crowds of both fumbleball and RL together the great game of RL had more eyeballs on it in 2016 than the fumbling game. In fact the TV ratings were at least 14 million ahead......yep that's right ........14 million.

The question of course is why and how do the fumblers deceive themselves that their bumbling, stumbling game is somehow superior. Stockholm syndrome???? Confirmation bias????? Base ignorant stupidity?????? Probably a combination of all.......the poor buggers!!!!!

Now to the point of how fumbleball is 'flying' in NSW. Yes the Swans get great crowds and 'membership' numbers but their supporters are overwhelmingly expatriates, women, LGBT community and assorted Eastern suburbs hangers on. None of this demographic will support them when they have their inevitable downturn. They do not resonate with mainstream Sydney.

The TV ratings for you fumblers in Sydney are abysmal. A case in point is the 2016 GF. More people in Melbourne watched the RL GF than Sydney people watched the fumbling game.......how do you explain that if the game is 'flying' in NSW??????? Further: The Swans played in the 2005 GF and got a Sydney TV ratings audience of 991,000 - great figures. They have subsequently played in 4 more GF's and each one has had less viewers than 2005 culminating in last years GF when 534,000 people tuned in, the lowest ever. So the GF audience for the Swans has almost halved in 11 years.......despite hundreds of millions of dollars poured into Sydney by fumblehouse. How do you fumblers here reconcile that in the fumbleball is 'flying' in NSW propaganda????

I await the usual suspects response.

## Please note I will not respond to the village idiot who has just been released from his padded cell. I would encourage other posters to do the same. ##

— Sydney Swans membership up 15.7%
— GWS Giants membership up 13.6%
— 2016 NSW/ACT AFL players: 237,549 up (10.4%)
- 2016 NSW/ACT Auskick players: 61,037 (up 18.24%)
- 2016 NSW/ACT AFL 9s players: 7347 (up 12.2%)

Funny how they include Auskick in player numbers. But lets not let load of shit get in the way of inflating some fake news lol

Remember the liar from Aflol QLD .
Claimed it had far more participants ...lol than RL in QLd

He quoted participants in AFL to actual registered weekly club player numbers for RL .

& these fumble fans wonder why we scoff at the figures .
Lying & propaganda are at the forefront of AFL player numbers

I trust you can link us to your research/findings that show this? Nah didn't think so, just more rubbish from Terry. What a surprise.

Says the guy who likes to count Touch Football and OzTag participants in RL player numbers. FFS

[AFLcrap1]

Lol
Stamp your feet Bea .
When it comes to Dodgy PARTICIPATION numbers .
Why are they gospel when AFL use them but you scoff at Rl using the same .
If you want credibility .
Post actual registered club players
You won't
You take great delight in posting crap straight from the AFL,propaganda DEPT.
Yet get all upset when we post RL figures .

If a preschooler touched a Sherrin, they would probably count the toddler as an AFL player too going by their logic.

It's seems you are correct. Going on the numbers quoted here 1 in 6 males aged between 5 and 38 and one in 20 females of the same age played fumbleball in NSW in 2016. I note the quote given listed the numbers as 'players'.

Now call me a cynic but I personally know hundreds of men and woman in this age group and not one of them played the fumbling game in NSW last year. In fact does anyone really believe that if you travel the state and ask random males if they played fumbleball last year every 6th one will reply in the affirmative????

This is pure fantasy. The fact the fumblers even publish these figures is extraordinary. I mean there is marketing and promotion but this is straight out lying. Remember the Lawson report?? It's conclusions are still clearly evident in any 'figures' ever publicly posted by fumblehouse.

Not everyone can play league, not everyone can they play women's netball. They simply don't have the hand-eye coordination or the athleticism that's required. So AFL should be commended for offering these people an alternative. [-o< [-o< [-o<

Catch a 5 meter throw, run with the ball under your arm, then make a 5 meter throw to your left and right, then repeat several times, the. It's the other teams go?

Lol and you say AFL is u skilled.

League is like the introduction to a sport involving a ball
