The self anointed national sport

[baselinepanther]

Still more national than RL

only because a heap of ex pats wanted to get the hell out of the wasteland states 40 years ago & have bred.
90% of this odd little sports fans up here have some links to ex pats.


fact remains derpballs vision 40 years ago to become our national sport & dominate all markets is hardly any closer to be achieved

so

Whether they are expats or not they still live there and still make AFL more national.

Thanks for playing Dave

It is still the number 1 winter sport in the country - this is noted by Vlandy's and co who report wanting to become the No 1 winter sport and topple the AFL.

Why is tv the only metric that seems to matter. Australian Rules is very popular in new and qld... not the most popular I agree but it’s not exactly a minow. It has very large participation numbers, they have lots of team and lots of leagues... there is clearly a large presence... and it is growing.

you call 70K people watching a game out of 14 million ... very popular ??



its as popular as barf in your pool
a turd on yr toilet floor up here.

Very large participation numbers compared to what ? League.. nope .. touchfootball.. nope.. oztag .. nope
Cricket.. nope.. soccer .. nope
union ... its still behind this all but dead sport.
you keep bleating but provide no numbers & its really all just in your deluded mind. It is not played by large numbers & even if it is
again....
soccer is the example of playing numbers meaning absolutely ...... nothing
huge numbers of players , but in reality as popular as a hemorrhoid when it comes to how people want to be entertained by a sport.

derpball falls into the same category

so says Peter Rabbit

do I need to post again for you crapper the list of teams playing AFL in QLD and NSW - the number of leagues etc. Seriously. It is played in significantly large numbers and getting larger. I could post the figures listed by the AFL but you'd say they were fudged or something - even though they break them down into categories.

Anyway - some reading - you will be even more fearful after you read this lol.

TOTAL PARTICIPATION
Total participation has grown by 54% since 2014, with female participation experiencing growth of 331% over the last five seasons. Female participants now account for 42% of total participation (2019 season). This level of growth is the result of targeted investment provided by AFL Queensland to grow the game across the state.
Total participation consists of club, Auskick and school competitions and programs. Of these participation categories, engagement in school competitions and programs comprises the majority of participant numbers, with 77% of total participation occurring within schools in 2019 (212,815).
School competitions and programs provide an introduction to AFL for many students and drives conversion into club participation.
Outside of school competitions and programs, participation in 2019 consisted of club competitions accounting for 11.5% (31,841), Auskick 10.5% (29,331) and AFL 9s 1% (3,708) of total participation.

CLUB / AUSKICK PARTICIPATION
For the purpose of this Plan, the planning focus is on facilities for club competition, Auskick and AFL 9s participation categories, as these formats generally require the use of public sporting infrastructure. In these participation formats, there has been strong growth across the board, with
participation increasing by 16% between 2014-2019. This growth trend has been reflected in male/female and junior/senior cohorts, with male participation up by 6.6%, female participation up by 48%, junior participation (5-19 year old's) up by 5.9% and senior participation (20-39 year old's) up by 52%. While South East Queensland has experienced significant growth across all participation segments, Regional Queensland has experienced lower levels of growth in traditional participation segments (male 3.1%, junior 1.1%) and high growth in emerging participation segments (female 44.4%, senior 59.6%).


That should get your juices flowing lol.

[Lookin back]

Participation and Auskick numbers are so flawed and bent...

2 AFL Football players can go to a school
and do some training drills with 4 or 5 classes
and this is counted and added to numbers.

its laughable.. over to you..

[Fred]

Good thing they separated them out then

[Fred]

I think the thing is to look at club registrations and also kids playing in school comps. Either way you look at it it is a healthy number don't you think. The AFL now separate the figures so you get Auskick, schools, registered players.

I was waiting for the Auskick comeback from crapper lol. What are you doing!!!!!

[leeroy*NRL*]

77% of total participation occurring within schools......

Like what i said should be taken with a grain of salt, it is Events paid for by AFL
to be taken to Schools which boost numbers.

What they are doing however is good and smart for future kids to get involved.

[leeroy*NRL*]

be good to see club numbers comparison between QLD and NSW for AFL

not participation cause that is meaningless.

[Fred]

agree- registration or playing school programmes.

[pussycat Mark 11]

Birchgrove Oval numbers are usually fairly accurate.

can you read you halfwit ?

playing numbers MEAN nothing


Skinny white boys who can't play anything else
soccer & AFL
does it translate to what people want to be entertained by with their sport in NSW , QLD & the ACT

Peter Rabbit says no


who the F is crapper ??

No they have a school competition ... school v school culminating in a grand final which is quite a big even ... goes for a whole term. There is a whole independent schools competition ... my son played in it a few years back ... won the competition that was played on Sunshine Coast.

[Fred]

I think playing numbers do matter as another metric . It’s not just weather it rates or not. There are other things to consider. And what’s with this attitude ? There’s no need for that type of name calling crapper!! New name new beginning - we believe in you.

[leeroy*NRL*]

i Agree it is good to have playing numbers, it helps with engagement in the Sport.

It was why NRL have teamed up with Touch and Tag, so they are engaged in Rugby League.
as not all sports people can play Rugby League
they perfer touch and tag as it is not so Brutal on the body.
