Talking Footy

With no AFL on in Melbourne today and the first game of the NRL season being a home game for the Storm, isn't it pathetic that the NRL can only muster a paltry crowd of 10,484 in a city of over 3.5 million.

Time to pull the plug NRL, as just like Adelaide and Perth, Melbourne is a lost cause and money wasted that could be better spent defending your share of the market in Sydney and Brisbane that the AFL is intent on - and mark my words, will succeed in taking. :<>

I think you're being a bit unfair Beaussie. It wasn't that bad - it was nearly a quarter of what the AFL got to a pre-season trial series final the night before.

Yes G&F, perhaps it was a bit unfair of me this early in the season. Shall we revisit this topic once the AFL season starts and the Storm have to compete with the AFL in Melbourne? That should be interesting.

I cant pick this glory. Is he trying to be sarcastic or serious?

Anyway the storm will prob never compete with AFL crowds. Beaussie is right, cant see any wolves coming to bite you on this one beaussie
