If it can get grow the game in nz what chance does it have anywhere else?

AFL just has no real structured plays like other sports. Has no hope.

Overseas people are left just confused when they see it.

no structured plays............

That's like saying soccer has no structured plays ?

You've got to listen to Kev when he speaks. After all he is one of greatest fumbling coaches of all time. And he is the man that desperately wants Izzy Folau to go back to fumbling and said he was one of the greatest talents he's ever seen.

Then again he's mainly only seen the fumbling 'talent' so not much to beat lolololololol.

your a full blown simpleton dude!
if you had any idea about AFL and its structures & plays its actually full of them!
a much larger field to cover, players have to be responsible for attacking and defending moves as well as being responsible for an opponent! as well as scoring & stop scoring opportunities!

its not like league jog in a straight line & either block an opponent or throw and catch a rubber ball side ways 6 meters

Why do fumblers keep fumbling the ball??? It's the most common event in the game and turns it into the bumbling mess foreigners just can't take to.

I say ban the fumble!!!!

if you understood the rules you'd know AFL players arent permitted to merely hold on to the ball when tackled. Therefore they must release the ball. RL players on the other hand can maintain possession even when tackled. What a lack of skill

Oh......so the fumble is a skill based part of the game???? Lolololololololololololololololol.

And I actually played the game for many years - so yes I understand it. That's why I know how easy it is to play.

it's far more skillful to correctly dispose of the ball when tackled than merely hold onto it to retain possession. How can you watch players running mindlessly into tackles again and again while still keeping possession?

why play a game you hate? Sounds like someone is telling massive porkies

You'd be surprised my friend.

Ireland is AFLs only hope. Failed everywhere else. Games got canned in NZ recently due to such poor interest.

Oh my... I engage you as you seem to have some intelligence despite your insecurities. ... don't make it so easy otherwise we revert to the other two.
