AFL over ..RL still going..Sokkah starting .

[Fred]

Lol
What a load of shit
Who are these people

Seriously ... do read the paper. I went to that link for league unlimited or whatever it is ... and even there the bag out the administration. For dragging the game. Those people I guess.

[Fred]

Biggest sport in half a country ...

Player numbers in nsw and qld would suggest otherwise. Crowds in these states would also suggest otherwise. Gold Coast and Brisbane had a massive AFL presence and growing ... geez even rl people know the games in trouble .

Gee you're an easy target Freddy Lolololololololololol - you're the gift that keeps giving. Do you ever actually think before you post Lolololololololololol.

Ok: If RL is in 'trouble' how did it smash the fumbling game in TV ratings this year, last year, every year????? Lolololololololol. Infact if the game was in trouble how could it even remotely get ratings anywhere near your God fumble let alone flog it?

Fred and fellow fumblers: This is the time of year you should really pull your collective heads in. The ratings have again spoken and RL wins.

Suck it up, take deep breaths and prepare for next years battle - god knows its going to be a massive mountain to climb Lololololololololololol.

Predictable. So so predictable. Beaussie should pay me a fee. Geez I miss KE. Except I get his second cousin once removed. Lift your game Terry for goodness sake. Give me something bro or this site is going to fold. LIFT!!!

[Fred]

There is an extremely small presence internationally ... wouldn't call it a footprint ... although I think rl is doing better internationally than it is outside NSw and qld to be honest ... well in northern England anyway

I know it is hard to accept, but Rugby League is absolutely killing AFL at an international level. .

Yes... I agree... I think most agree on this. Can we all agree on this ? Is it even a question ? I don't really care but there is no denying it ... I'm not sure what you're looking for in response... it's an undeniable fact. Rl is far far more international than Australian Rules football. ????

[AFLcrap1]

Lol
the typical reply of the jealous fumbler .

Small presence ..yes compared to other sports
Compared to fumbles & bumbles it's a HUGE presence

Lol
You wouldn't call it a footprint .
With teams from 2 countries playing in our top two levels
With international teams playing tests .
With a new team started up in Canada ...with talk of more ...

Then apparently that's not a footprint.oh my
Lol your jealousy is showing .
So I'll expect the usual reply of ..well I don't really know much blah blah

Listen, I don't really care to be honest yet here I am commenting. Anyway, that aside, just do you know... rl shits all over Australian rules re: international presence. Australian rules basically has no real international presence at any decent level. I know that... you know that... shit we all really know that. But let's not pretend rl is massive internationally either... it's not. But compared to Australian rules ... any international presence at any decent level is huge.... but it's not really huge in real terms. If it were it would not need the questionable eligibility rules for the rlwc. In saying that I like the rules... it is a step in the right direction... it acknowledges the lack of a major international presence and has rules that reflect this so as to broaden the competition and actually lead to increased interest which, if suvcessful, will see such rules become obsolete.

Australian rules domestically however is by far the biggest sporting code in Australia by a long shot. Grassroots there are clubs and participation across thr nation. It rates highly. It gets crowds consistently that are large ... even in Sydney and Brisbane and Gold Coast where the suns got more people to their games than the local nrl team (as you know). AFL is expanding into non heartland areas ... nrl could only dream of this growth in non heartland areas.

Anyway ... argue away . Pull a comment or two from the post and focus on that... but the reality is Australian rules and AFL is the biggest sport in Australia ... you know it, I know it ... and you all know it.

Oh dear .
Can you show where I PRETEND RL is massive internationally .
Why do you fumblers have to reply with utter bullshit .

[Fred]

Oh sorry aflcrap ... whilst I did quote your post the part where I was saying that was more aimed at the general reader but i can see this is not clear ... and indeed can see my error.

However I did say pull one or two comments out and and make that the focus .....and hey ... presto."!

Anyway... so we don't get tied down on that and to be clear aflcrap did not say he thinks or pretends rl is big internationally.

[leeroy*NRL*]

I would say, if it were not for Internationals and rep games in Rugby League>>

Rugby League clubs would be in a way better state as well.

I would say that is FACT.

Even with out the Nrlol club would still be irrelevant minnow shit tanks of clubs

[AFLcrap1]

Same rant over & over
Minnow minnow

Hi Gilligan

[leagueiscrap]

Same rant over & over
Minnow minnow

Hi Gilligan

Of all people claiming that crapper! Lol
Your by far th worst of the lot!

And it is fact and in response to a previous comment

[AFLcrap1]

Listen fuckstick
Hers a hint
If you removed the words minnow
Poke
Basement & tin foil hats from your posts you'd have very little to say .
Same shit over & over & over & over .

[leagueiscrap]

Yep but nation wide.... AFL is much larger than any other sport . You'd be hard pressed to play rl in victoria and would have to be prepared to travel ... if you're in the country areas like Gippsland or warnabal you couldn't play. Compare that to Aussie rules in nsw or qld. You can't argue that. Aussie rules had a footprint right across the nation in grassroots as does soccer, but AFL also has ratings and crowd numbers soccer dreams of. Crowd numbers rl dream of actually ... even in Sydney. The nrl would love to have the footprint AFL has across the nation.

Soccer blows AFL out of the ball park with participation and it is not even heavily promoted.
And AFLs tv rating are dismal in NSW.
Not only that, your two Queensland clubs are a laughing stock at the moment with the Gold Coast Suns cannibalising supporters from a struggling Brisbane lions side that is heavily is debt.

Rugby League matches get better crowds in Perth than the Giants usually get in Sydney. Without the mass promotion and free kids tickets.

AFL is not even close to being number one in more than half Australia. Are plenty of places and categories other codes are still ahead.

AFL is easily the number one football code thickshit!
Just look at the stats and all the metrics

League has next to fuck all presence in wa l! You base your knowledge of one game that the nrlol once got 15k 15k to no doubt with their trigger happy crowd counter! Then compare that one off crowd to what the giants get in gws who crowds are on average similar to many of the nrlol clubs in that area, and like usual when speaking about the popularity of AFL in Sydney you fruit loops always purposely leave out the swans who are easily the largest team in nsw!

You have zero to fuck all idea about anything

[NRL&NFLweLaughATafl]

More media coverage? AFL womens international cup had had zero coverage in Sydney. I did not even know there was such a thing.
Has been all about players defecting to Tonga in the rlwc.

Time to get out of the Southern bubble.

The list of things you dont know is no doubt extensive. And just because something isnt big in Sydney, doesnt mean it wasnt big elsewhere. Time to get out of your Sydney bubble.

And besides, its all about the draft and trade period at the moment for us. Dont think for a minute that every other code wouldnt give their right arms to get half the coverage the AFL does for the draft.

I did not even know the trade period was on either. Insignificant things like this just are not getting the news coverage in NSW & Qld like they do in AFL heartlands.

At the end of the day. No matter how much you AFL delusionals want to sugar coat it.
AFL is still only number one in half of one country and non existing outside Australia.

[Fred]

Aussie rules numbers are great right across the country? Can play it in every region I believe. And it’s growing whilst Rl is shrinking in its own heartland. Sheet even the suns had more people go to their games then the titans.

Wrong again fred Soccer is miles ahead of AFL in grass roots participation. And that is including your Auskick numbers that AFL journos often include to talk yourselves up.

At the end of the day AFL gets out rated by childrens shows in NSW and Qld. That is not the kind of figures a number one code should get.
No point trying to sugar coat facts fredy. Soccer has way more players than AFL across Australia too. So your not even number one there.

And you AFL guys keep trying to make out you don't care about not being international.
Yet why do keep holding international rules games?
Why do you have international cups?
Why have you created AFL X so you can play on rectangular fields overseas?
Why do you have games in China which only Aussies turned up to?

AFL keeps holding international games which embarrass themselves. Yet some how they don't care about being international

AFL is trying everything they can to get other countries to like their little one nation games but keep failing. So now you say you don't care when it never works lol..

Your a joke just face it. Even trying to get SBS to show your international cup. Rejected once again.

Again you seen more concerned than ago fans.
