Truth a bit scary?

I'll shoot down one duck at a time, KE.

Your "second point" is a porridge comprising an airswing of personal opinion, and two sub-questions.

Easier to address if you had paragraphed it better.

Hang on a minute. Do you guys still, after all the evidence, think that the AFL has made significant inroads into rugby league heartland?

The evidence is that in 2014, the four northern clubs (Swans, GWS, Brisbane Lions, Gold Coast Suns) attracted a total of 948,000 to 46 games in NSW/ACT and QLD. An average of 20,608 per game.

The AFL is not the dominant code in the northern states. But it is seriously significant. And growing ...and growing ...and growing.

Phil Gould warned NRL Central not to underestimate the AFL.

KE, you appear to be ignoring his advice.

I wouldn't worry about anything that comes out of Phil Gould's mouth.

"Personal opinion"??? Shall I source some others with exactly the same opinion for you brucey ol chap? As for the paragraph I'm certain you get the gist quote clearly but are just buying time or deflecting.

Comon ol chap, there's no denying the flipped avgs between nrl and AFL avg crowds and tv audiences in nsw and qld. And there's also no denying the awfully low AFL tv ratings in these states. My point is valid and backed up by both the numbers and others' opinions re the AFL and watching live vis a vis tv. You can't refute it can you brucey?
Would you still like me to rub it in by finding evidence of others with the same views? :D

KE,

You threw out a challenge to the AFL community that there is no evidence Aussie Rules is making inroads into RL "heartlands":

I gave you the evidence: 948,000 tickets sold to AFL games in RL " heartlands" in 2014, in NSW/ACT and QLD.

I gave you links to the evidence upon your request.

I said that while AFL is not the dominant code in northern states, it is seriously significant. ...and growing. ...and growing. ...and growing.

I gave you the evidence you carelessly said did not exist.

You appear to have comprehension problems, so repeat after me:

948,000 tickets.

Again,
948,000 tickets.

Once more,
948,000 tickets.

Whew!

KE,

You are not a good debater:

Your technique is to throw paintballs at your adversary. And you hope your opponents will be disconcerted enough to try to address the splatter.

Not me, mate. I'm nobody's bunny.

docker24, you irritate the bejesus out of me.

Sure con artist, I don't care what you think.
BruceofRedfern you're probably SanjeevOfhomebush.

I said evidence didn't exist? Why you need to lie brucey? You know lying makes baby Jesus cry don't you?



A bloke who calls someone a bad 'debator' and then makes shit up when trying to 'debate'



Shows over!

948k is great, but de cwowds is pretty much it in terms of the numbers. AFL is going backwards in western sydney, since 2005 sydney siders have become less and less interested to watch the swans compete in the gf, brisbane AFL is a car wreck with cwowds going backwards. Gws is the laughing stock of professional sporting organisations. These are all facts. And I predict The Gold Coast are about to go back to where they belong around the bottom of the table this year.

You can try defend all you like with "yeah but that's only your opinion KE". Fact is, heaps of people see it my way. The smart ones anyway. Would you like some links brucey?
