Wow, 9 from Sydney in 30+ years.

I wonder if the Storm can get close to that, they have 3 local Vics come through into first grade in their first 15 years.

Para that is only players with over 50 games there are MANY more than 9

Vfl has been played in Sydney for 140 years you lying flogs.

it's had plenty of time to grow.

And in that time there's been many VFL/AFL players
Woollies list is not exhaustive

Not having an issue that it's accurate just saying there have been many more players prior to 94 and many who didn't reach 50 games that's all - to say just 9 in 140 years is just so inaccurate.
Just some of the Players prior to 94
Paul Kelly
Greg Stafford
Meldrum
Michael Byrne
Tony Daniher
Terry Daniher
Chris Daniher
John Longmire
Etc etc etc many many many more!!!

wouldn't it be easier to argue, how many players that where born out in Australia but out side of the states of NSW & QLD, have played or currently playing NRL, as the list wouldn't be that long

How about comparing Players born in another country who have played in The NRL..

I bet the AFL list is about as low as your IQ,
Dumbo.

Paul Kelly - Wagga/Riverina
Greg Stafford - Western Suburbs Magpies (sydney)
Meldrum - ? Paul Meldrum I assume? He was never from Sydney. http://www.blueseum.org/tiki-index.php? ... ul+Meldrum
Michael Byrne - North shore (sydney)
Tony Daniher - Ungarie (Riverina)
Terry Daniher - Ungarie (Riverina)
Chris Daniher - Ungarie (Riverina)
John Longmire - Corowa-Rutherglen (Riverina)

Maybe wrong but Didn't Meldrum play for East Sydney prior to moving to Melb where he played in Armatures then got invited to Carlton.

Interesting that this reasoning is never applied to leagues fringe states.

Yeah, you got a list of all the comps RL was played in for all the decades leading up to now like vfl has had Australia wide for as long as I stated.


Good luck, like looking for a needle in a haystack. League was supposedly played in Victoria early on in the 1920's until something happened and the teams crossed over to union, good luck finding any info, didn't start back up till goodness knows, I think it may have been the 50's with a couple of teams, I know the Vic side play Canberra and hosted France around then, but again, good luck finding anything.

Same goes for all the other states bar maybe WA, you can find a little info about them.

I have a few books here with gate receipts, crowds, team line ups and scorers from French tours to Australia playing right across the country, yet I have no idea about the make up of the local teams and or comps the RL may have had back then in these RL outposts.

Lala land para!!

AFL

AFL - acronym for Australian Football League, the governing body of Australian Rules Football.

Australian Rules Football is a regionally stunted game played primarily for and by rampant non-heterosexuals in the Southern States of Australia. The AFL is a conglomeration of blind lepers who have unnerving control over the sporting minds of ½ the population.

The game itself begins when two teams of 18 limp-wristed nancy boys run onto an oval through a 40 foot high banner made of toilet paper which has messages of love from their fans painted in it in various shades of lipstick. Running though the banner is the zenith of anyone's Australian Rules Football experience.

Prior to the game's commencement but after the "running of the banner" each side gathers in a group and runs around the oval to warm up. This is commonly known as a "melee" and is the first of many over the approximately 120 minutes the game takes.

Once the game starts at the sound of a hooter that would arouse a Moose, the ball (similar to a Gridiron ball, but less heterosexual) is bounced by a prat in a dangerously loud shirt called the "umpy". The main vocation of the umpy is to spend the game listening to 40,000 lispers calling out "ball". Most umpys are thankful that the word "ball" has no S in it.

From the first bounce until the end of the game there is a 100 minute game consisting of the aforementioned 36 men attempting to do things to each other that would be considered outrageous at a Mexican Donkey Show.

Scores are earned by kicking the ball between 4 posts at either end of the ground, yes 4. A player earns 6 points (a goal) for kicking the ball between the two highest posts in the centre of the 4 posts, and he scores 1 point (a behind) for missing the big posts but still managing to not miss all the posts.

Talent and co-ordination are not requirements to play Australian Rules Football. It is slightly tougher than Draughts but a smidgeon under Backgammon in toughness.

It is a game adored by 1/2 the country and hated by the other half. The collective IQ of the former is 12.

Hate Australian Rules Football even if you've never seen a game, it saves time later on.
