Have there really been people who have dismissed it? I think it is great. Crowds up there with some nrl games... although larger population... but still.
Seriously - this is not an organic team this is just a publicity stunt!
Swans forever dismissed it, and are plenty of other AFL fans just like him.
I guess it is jealousy, some AFL fans think their sport has some kind of presence in Canada.
Yet now we have a Canadian Rugby League fan who has just created his own team in Canada.

They just got another record crowd this weekend.
7247
North America is without a doubt Rugby Leagues best untapped market.
Has a much better chance at relating to locals than AFL ever will, due to them loving full contact sports.
Biggest AFL crowd outside Auastralia was in canada attended by 32,000.
Year Location Stadium Teams Attendance
1987 Vancouver – Melbourne v. North Melbourne 7,980
1987 Vancouver BC Place Melbourne v. Sydney 32,789
1987 Vancouver – Collingwood v. Hawthorn –
1988 Toronto Varsity Stadium Collingwood v. Hawthorn 18,500
1989 Toronto Toronto Skydome Geelong v. Melbourne 24,639
They are some great crowds, even though it is almost half a lifetime ago.
Maybe AFL should play exhibition matches in Canada instead of China.
I still think Rugby League has a huge advantage over AFL in North America due to similar field dimensions to Gridiron and the structure of the game.
AFL is pretty much admitting this themselves, which is why they are creating AFLX.
You can see in this interview the Canadian owner Eric Perez likes Rugby League as much as a lot of Aussies.

Well show me a Canadian that is willing to invest so much into AFL like Perez has done with Rugby League?

You can't deny expansion into North America is one of the most exciting things that has happened to Rugby League in a long time.
Already had a few passionate Canadian fans on the debut home game.
