Talking Footy

Like where do I start.

The songs they play at the start of games really sounds like a piss take to me compared to the preparations I see at the start of EPL, NFL & NRL games.

Then you have the uniforms. They honestly look just like a couple of male netballers trying to play a rugby code.

Then you have the streamers and cheer
squads on the back of each goal. It honestly looks like something you would see at a 5 year olds birthday party. Cheesy as fark & just plain embarrassing.

And the goals, not 2 goals, no we have to have 6 goals in AFL so it is impossible to miss and you have scorelines like a game of basketball.

Then the boundary rules. There is no boundary line rule so less skill is required.

Crossbars? Nope, kick as high or as low as you want so you are certain to score with extra goals on the side so you just can't miss.

And why can't a player get a line break and bolt from one end of the field to the other like real football codes. It is the dumbest shit I have ever seen having to bounce an oval ball.

Then the reward for catching a high kick is an uncontested shot at 3 goals next to each other. How can you possibly miss?

I could absolutely go on forever how bad this game is.

Yeah I would be insecure too if I was an AFL fan. Just knowing nobody else cares about or takes your sport seriously except for in one small populated country.

Maybe do some research before clowning yourself.

Rugby League has 29 First grade clubs in 4 countries.
AFL has 18 in just 1 country.

So Rugby League has 11 more first grade clubs than AFL and it has them in 3 more countries than AFL. That is a complete global smashing over AFL. Light years ahead of you AFL losers.

It also has a two first grade competitions to AFLs one. And the competition in Europe is 100% professional. Their top side actually beat the best NRL side in the world club challenge.

SAINT HELENS vs PENRITH

League started in England, when many other sports thast were exports from similar parts of the world, Football, Union, Cricket and spread through migration patterns

braging aboiut how you have one pro league, and a few other semi pro leagues with only a hand full more fully pro teams than the AFL is pathetic.

Australia, hasnt been around as long, population any near as big or has been an empire like England has so there is no way in hell that any sport from Australia will be remotely popular over seas

again, just another nonsens post from a insecure low iq moron
