Talking Footy

Stewie your starting to amaze me! I thought I'd let it go because it would go over your head but when someone says something really stupid I think it's only right that i pull them up on it. Broncs are owned 50%+ by news limited they also make a 2mil+ profit year in year out. So if they wanted to spend more money on their football dept I think they would!!

I would of thought you'd have enough problems to worry about with port and the AFL let alone showing that you have NFI about NRL.

Let alone ports money problems you have the AFL doing their best to stuff themselves.

News own part of Brisbane, not all of them like they do the Storm. As the Broncos are self sufficient, News wouldn't need to give them millions to keep them afloat. News give the Storm the extra millions to try and make them successful and eventually self sufficient, but despite all this success the sport of rl just isn't growing on Melburnians with crowds down on the 2011 season by almost 2,000.

I guess you should look at the total crowds for Collingwood. With your reasoning for storm not growing in melbourne I guess Collingwood/AFL is going backwards. Collingwood 2012 total crowds as a comparison with 2011 is 15000 fans less. Whats your excuse now?

Oh and you forgot to repost the last bit of my previous post.

Moron!

In 15 years of success the storm have less fans than the year they started! In the same time frame Collingwood have increased their average crowd by nearly 15k, more than the storms entire average crowd!



As for the rest of your BS:
- Port are in the middle of their worst on field era ever but have many positive things ahead such as a new stadium. Plenty of AFL teams have struggled financially over the years, even the strongest. Yet they all bounce back.
- Kurt Tippett, one player and one club who cheated. How dos that compare to the storm and their unprecedented cheating?
- The AFL are currently addressing the drug issues in their code head on, which despite recent media attention, is still a tiny proportion of players. However the silence from the NRL on illicit drug testing or results is deafening!
- crowds were down due to live TV and 2 new expansion teams. Yet 10m extra viewers tuned in. Despite this the AFL still double the NRLs attendance despite playing more than 3 times the number of games in expansion states
- Tanking is done and dusted. The incentive was taken away years ago. Recent talk is about behaviour a number of years ago.

This idiot sounds like Striker in disguise.

Stewie and I were comparing 2011-2012 crowd figures and then you compare storm and Collingwood over 15yrs. Who's the moron?? That's like comparing souths (profit) and gws (-200mil). As for the rest of your rant all I got was whingeing here and whingeing there

but but but.......
AFL drug policy is a joke... Maybe they could take a leaf out of nrl's book.

who the hell compares crowds of a team from one year to the next? They are too dependant on performance. A long term comparison shows growth and the storm havent had any, despite success. However The fact the storms crowds went DOWN in the year they won the premiership is hilarious!

As for taking a leaf from the NRL, thats what the NrL did. They saw the AFLs policy, copied, then took a strike off to make themselves look better.

Sounds good yeah? Well not even close. Not only have the NRL failed to show any testing results for scrutiny, they have left testing to the clubs! one club was even sprung not even performing testing as required! WHAT A FARCE!

Collingwood and storm are both highly successful clubs. Storm were minor premiers in 2011 so it seems reasonable to have higher crowds than 2012. Do you agree? If you check 2012 final attendances storms crowd figures double.

Nrl's (1st strike tell club and fine, 2nd suspension) 2 strike policy is far superior than AFL's (cheat twice then we will tell your club) 3 strike policy.

I would like to see proof of where you saw that nrl clubs do testing? I think your a bit out of date!! Where in 2013 xman

As I showed you, the storm havent grown in 15 years! How will they go when they eventually have a lean few years?

The NRLs policy is a disgrace! All words, no action, no accountability, no public scrutiny. Its a total sham.

The sport has one of the country's most highly regarded in-house testing policies, with each club conducting at least 70 tests annually for illicit drugs.

Other league players have also spoken out against a culture mixing recreational drugs and alcohol with painkillers.
The real issue is that, as one leading rugby league player who wanted to remain anonymous puts it, “clubs are turning a blind eye to it”.
I’ve been to end of season parties with clubs of the NRL where players are openly gloating about their drug use, both in Australia and on overseas trips. As if they feel they are unrestrained by the regulations of their respective sporting body.

Given these comments how have we not heard anything from the NRL? Nothing. They are totally ignoring the issue.

Difference is Xman our rules on illicit drugs puts your to shame.......

I’ve had ties with a rugby league club that was forced to sanction players from their Toyota Cup and NSW Cup squads for failing drug tests. Some players were sacked, others were allowed to continue representing their club.

You left that part out and i know why, imagine the AFL sacking up and comers like the NRL, not in our life time.............. =D> =D> =D>

VFL...a junkie haven

Prove it Dave! Show us some results!
