They must be ex league player's forgetting to leave their league life behind them.

We hear way more stories on junior league violence then junior AFL.

Need some more buckpasser?

Wow someone knows how to google. Gratz.

You are welcome, got anything to add to the shit ya mate exman said, or you just going to bury your head as usual or do the other thing you do really well, buck pass on to RL or use RL in some way to justify what has happened in your own sport?

It's great when others start the stone throwing aye.

Get shown up as hypocrites ...then it's deflect

Ahhh Parra, where has the violence in one league been so bad that the organisers have threatened to cancel the season for everyone? Weapons were involved, people playing just to start fights....

I think swans4ever summed it up well, when he said it was a reflection on society more than a code directly. Football (soccer) has had a long term problem in this area, but I do believe it is getting better, it is far from fixed and I know of one game in the Granville district that was abandoned recently because 1 player was given a red, refused to leave and hit another player. But is is a lot rarer, what has helped is the "no competition" until under 12, which soothes some parents ego's And lets be frank it is more often than not parents that are the problem. Usually powerless males, maybe under employed maybe working in a job they hate but cant move. They release their frustrations through their kids sports, sad I know. There are lost of studies in this area and I have seen it being involved in junior football and league.

It is not about the codes (which in fact attract similar demographics where the sport is popular) Using a term to illustrate my point not generalising the whole fan base ok, so go with me. A bogan in Victoria or Adelaide will follow AFL, a Bogan in Brisbane or Sydney will follow league, the issue is cultural and societal not code based. Now clearly non bogans also follow those sports, that is why you don't hear of fan violence at Rugby League games at Castle Hill or Ryde. And I guess you don't hear of them at Richmond???? (what ever the equivalent is in Melbourne) but you do hear of them in Sunshine or Mt Druitt.

my sport of football has less bogans (I Believe) but obviously the violence in junior levels is as much societal but from a different root.

For all codes, it is simply sad parents trying to live their frustrated lives through their kids

What about the game where the axes and tomahawks were used in an AFL game a few years back, I think it was from the same p[lace that Liam Jarra or whatever his name is comes from, around alice springs or somewhere.

I couldn't give a stuff actually, I only responded because the wookie wanted to start throwing stones, so I hurled a few back myself.

Is thread is really going around in circles - I don't like comparing one sport to another because of the actions of a very small minority. It's like comparing whose tops shine the most on TV - what does it actually prove about the sport itself???? RU is about the toughest sport on the planet yet it's fans drive Range Rovers and have jobs in investment banks. Stupid thread

Smartest thing you've ever said .
But why do most of these stupid threads get started by Aflol fans?

Because they can't see the woods for the log in their eye.

Yeah, just locks them when it makes the local white boys sport look bad, and if it really is a bad look like a pedo one, he deletes it.

Then starts a thread about the big bad NRL having knife fights at junior games, the sookie strikes again.

What a load of shit, you should get into politics.
