Thanks Freddy. And it's great you've got off the porch and are running with the big dogs again pal.Fred wrote: Mon Dec 02, 2019 2:34 pmI agree. There is some support for the team ... but there is just not much of a grassroots game. I think they need to focus on this area as if the kids have limited opportunity to play then it creates as issue. At least there is a large grassroots Australian rules presence across the country and in non traditional areas.

Now to your post: it goes without saying that the more grass roots players you have the better chance you will have of kids graduating to the top level. Thanks for saying it though!!!!
The fact is that from a very low base junior RL is growing in Vic. Here's a couple of sites to check out.

As to fumbling in the northern states: there has always been a small presence due to the fact the mess was competing with Rugby to be the No 1 sport over 100 years ago. The emergence of RL then confined it to a tiny niche but some small amount of clubs and comps survived.
Then of course there was the moving of the Australian parliament from Melbourne to Canberra in 1927 that bought thousands of Melbourne born public servants and there families to Canberra. Those folk bought the fumbling mess with them as they did not have the skills or aptitude to play Australia's most watched sport.
Then there was the Soldier resettlement scheme after both world wars where Vics moved onto farms in southern NSW and again bought their sporting mess with them.
And then there is the millions upon millions of $$ fumblehouse has poured into the northern states for decades. Money that has bought the game recognition and 'participation' numbers.
But Freddy you must always remember the Lawson report. You know ......the 'ol 'AFL propaganda over reality' facts delivered by the dear Dr Lawson. Things ain't as rosy as Gilty and the boys make out my friend. You of course are incapable of thought diverging from the dear leaders pronouncements.
And a question Freddy 'ol boy: How many kids from Sydney/NSW were picked by clubs in the recent draft? I had a quick glance and it seemed like......um......zero, zilch, none and nil!!! I only looked quickly so can you take a peak......I'm sure there must some Sydney kiddies drafted. I mean ...its Australia's biggest city. Here's a site for you to check Freddy. I look forward to your reply.

keep winning and maybe one day the support levels wont be so minnow
The team has more support than 2 of Victoria's soccer teams and by the looks of it, are closing in on the Victory who are dropping down each season. So if that's the case, how can they be the smallest and least supported football club?
Stop eating and drinking so much soy, it'll rot your brain and turn you into some sort of feminist freak. Wth am I talking about, it already has, you already watch the wimpiest code of them all.

melbourne city maybe? but they have only been around 7 or 8 years and havent won anything
the storm have dominated and only had one yes one local player represent them where as the two melbourne sokka teams have had far more
once again clutching straws and stuggling to keep up
Ah Fred all jealous about Rugby League. I am a big fan of the MLB in America.Fred wrote: Sun Dec 01, 2019 12:52 pmAgree. Bellamy would have yo be the best coach I have seen and the Storm reflect that. Indeed having the Storm in Melbourne has been good for the NRL however unfortunately this has not transcended into RL which is a very minor sport in Victoria with there being a large portion of the state without even a presence and a very small league that covers all of Melbourne. Baseball, which I played in a Melbourne is far bigger for instance.
