Which State Aussie Rules League is most popular after AFL?

[Grim Reaper]

I would have to say the SANFL is the most better State Competiition here.

[Beaussie]

Not sure, but I'd probably say the VFL followed by one of either the SANFL or WAFL. The SANFL and WAFL would be about even in popularity wouldn't they?

[Grim Reaper]

The VFL is the old VFA....not that good.

Look at the well know AFL players and where they started. O'Loughlin, Wanganeen, Buckley, Cornes, Platten, Kernahan, Jarman, Fosdike, Bradley, Carey etc...all SANFL.

Clearly from standard of games, and crowd attendances it would be SANFL, then VFL, WAFL, NTFL (Tas.) and then NTFL (NT) AFLST.

I am sure there are some leagues above the AFLST, which would make them least popular due to bad administration.

in would have to say the SANFL it seems a very strong leauge and i respect it

I assume NTFL (Tas.) stands for Northern Tasmanian Football League? If that is indeed the case, why aren't both leagues (NTFL & AFLST) under the one banner of AFLTAS? And what's this about bad administration at AFLST?

Did you guys know that Aussie Rules is the most popular sport in the nation of Nauru??

Yep, the national sport of Nauru I've heard. Aussie Rules is also very popular in PNG.

The best league is the TAC Cup in Victoria for Under 18 boys.Without it no AFL would exist

[Grim Reaper]

There would be no AFL is there was no SANFL, WAFL, NTFL etc...the Vics are just parasties who poach players from interstate!

1. The North Coast of Tasmania and Hobart have never got along in football administration. It's a rivalry that has always split the state.

2. The real problem is Football Tasmania. They put too much into the state team in the VFL and not enough into what they should be doing. Clubs around Hobart and the general southern region have been going over like nine pins. They don't even react when local private schools push clubs off their ovals and change them to soccer grounds!!

On subject - yes the SANFL are the strongest. I'm struggling to seperate the VFL and the WAFL but they are the next two.

I would rate AFL Queensland and AFL Canberra just ahead of the NTFL - and the other NTFL (Northern Territory) would be in that group as well.

[Beaussie]

Shame about the situtation in Tasmania. If only they could work together, we might one day see a team from Tasmania in the AFL as a real option to consider.

I would say that the two strongest would be the WAFL and the SANFL..coming after that in terms of talent would be NTFL and VFL the others are still emerging..
