"I've coached AFL rah rah...."

Get your hand off it mate. Unless you're outside the gym again watching the NRL boys bulk up as that apparently whet's your appetite and gives you great reason to keep it on there. Or do you and Crapper hold eachothers' whilst you're there to make it a little more special?

You have 0 understanding of the sport, something you prove every time you speak about it.

It's cute watching you all get so fired up with the need the whack AFL because you arent travelling the way you'd like to be. More and more bitter, it's beautiful.

This rounds final margains have been a bit of a stinker in particular but the way you clutch at it like its the be-all and end-all....
The inability of any of you to open your mind to the fact that the scoring system and it's reflection on the game quality is different to that of Rugby is staggering.

The dour and dull grind of Rugby needs to be close for it to be somewhere near entertaining.

You've shown that your getting a little ancy Eliagh. Been quiet from you upon my return as your little game has been playing catch up. I even saw a little jealous hissy "before the AFL got cocky and put teams in gws and gold coast when they weren't wanted" in some thread, it was a thing of beauty, I can't remember where it was though so please enlighten me.

Do yourselves a favour and actually watch the match today. Hawks v Cats the AFL's best rivalry for a decade - anything but Mundane. Could be a 300pt margain today and that wouldn't change. But it won't be.

There'll also be a peculiar amount of people their for a couple of mid-tier teams.

Are they beating us in any way yet nlol? Or do we have to wait until June?

Errrm do you have the hots for me or sometin? You seem way too emotionally engaged in my affairs. Just... ease off a bit bro and focus on the theme of the thread.

Supposed rivalry aside, there’s something quite special about today. The afls going for five days of shithouse lopsided matches in a row today. this kinda thing don’t happen in other pro league sports such as basketball, soccer, ru, rugby league etc. I’m sorry it makes you upset that I’ve played and coached the game and that i point out these things but, it’s just the truth dude, deal with it.

[AFLcrap1]

Lol mini meltdown
Fumblers just can't accept reality .

[NlolRL]

You clearly know jack diddly about bball put their bench on the court during the final quarter teams barely ever put their entire bench on the court during the fourth. As they do in AFL they might but won’t often give one or two of their stars a break.

I never said their entire bench you disingenuous liar But they will certainly give 3 or 4 of their bench players a go in the final quarter if the game is decided. The AFL may rest the odd star, but that's 1 or 2 players from 22, not 4 from10 or 12.

As for your other point. Errrm you argued earlier that because AFL is high scoring then games are not as close. You’re contradicting yourself big time in ur desperate attempt to make the AFL blowouts appear ok

Higher scoring games will generally result in larger winning margins. In soccer an easy win could be 3-0. In AFL a 3 point win is a nail-biter. Use your brains KE FFS!

Furthermore, as I said, the rules of bball make blowouts less likely.
1. Possession of the ball is changed after every score.
2. The team with possession has a high chance of shooting for a goal because you cannot touch the player with the ball, and the size of the field of play is very short.

The result is essentially a difference in shooting accuracy, the ability to get position close to the key, and your ability to rebound missed shots.

In AFL:
1. the ball is in contention after every goal, you are not awarded possession just because you are scored against.
2. the player with the ball can be tackled and dispossessed more easily.
3. The length of the field means many passes must be executed in a single play, all while avoiding being tackled, in order to shoot at goal.

This means a more skillful team can get on a scoring roll far more easily than basketball.

Then you compared AFL scoring with cricket!!!

It's a sport where performances on the day can result in very one-sided games, even when the teams are fairly closely matched

[AFLcrap1]

Lol
Just lol

[NlolRL]

30-0 before half-time in the NRL.

Shame NRL fans place so much importance on close games

[AFLcrap1]

Lol
It's not game after game after game

[NlolRL]

Lol
It's not game after game after game

you're the ones who think it's so important. You must be devastated

[AFLcrap1]

Nope not at all ..the occasional thrashing happens .
But if it happened as much as AFL we would be concerned .
As yet no probs

[NlolRL]

if we had games where teams didnt even score, or there were only a few scores in 80 minutes, we'd be worried

[NlolRL]

Number of one-sided gamesin the last 5 rounds:

AFL: (more than 5 goal difference)
rnd 1: 5
rnd2: 3
rnd3: 1
rnd4: 1
rnd5: 6
TOTAL = 16 from 45 games

NRL:
rnd 2: 6
rnd 3: 5
rnd 4: 3
rnd 5: 3
rnd 6: 3
TOTAL = 20 from 40 games

Yep, AFL is far more one-sided

[Cats_Steve]

30-0 before half-time in the NRL.

Shame NRL fans place so much importance on close games

Final score at the opening of the new Parramatta Stadium...

Eels 51 def Tigers 6

Wow must have been an enthralling game for NRL fans.

[King-Eliagh]

Wow what a MUNDANE Monday arvo in the AFL!

Cats never looked like losing in the second half. They smashed em all over the park. and, well, I picked it didnt I? saw it coming a mile away but well, blind freddy coulda picked it too so I shouldn’t gloat

[notaleaguefan]

There’s apps. And for your info I’ve played AFL and have followed it for many years. Also coached it. I’d say I’ve more experience and understanding of the game than you Nlol junior my dear

You think Geelong will get up tmw?

If that’s the case you still fail to understand AFL is a much faster and free flowing game that result in higher scoring

So simply your full of shit and do not understand

Shut yo dumb ass trap. Basketball is faster and generally higher scoring than AFL and you don’t see the type of blowouts the AFL regularly produces in the nbl. (tho it didn’t use to be the case that bball was easily said to be higher scoring than AFL... many AFL teams are struggling to manage 50points these days )

So yeah shut ur traps about AFL is a high scoring game bullshit. It’s a blowoutaphon any which way you look at it in the AFL and I’d put ur house on it that Gil and co are desperate for a competitive game today the media will start picking up how bad things are very soon and then that channel seven boss’ll Be calling for changes to the game he funds

Speaking of free flowing of the AFL and the dog shit swam game of league!

What a blow out today between the Parramatta poke club and West’s Tuggers
