League or AFL

[ducky_poo]

when i see any sort of big hit without a free-kick being given, i'll list afl as my fav but for now league gets my vote.

gotta love the hits

NRL isnt football - the ball isnt kicked enough...same with Gridiron, thats not football

Soccer is the true "football"

afl cant really be called football either.

it should be called semi-football. cause they use their hands still

would we class soccer as football as they use there heads also and not just there feet ?

Why not plan stuff in Nov. nothings on then.

Thats a big call.... Ever heard of this small horse race we have in Melbourne called the MELBOURNE CUP?? :shock:

Actually, over 350,000 people go to the races in just 4 days....

By the way, AFL wins my vote!!

 

[ducky_poo]

the other thing is is there anyone who voted for afl thats not from victoria?

mmmmmm anyone? no ok then lol

and i'd like to see a soccer game where they bring the ball all the way up the field by using just there head lol be cool to see

Actually Duck....read my earlier posts and you will see that i am from QLD....

 

[ducky_poo]

ok thats 1 for afl outside vic

 

[justdabestcards]

not from Vic here! AFL is by far #1.

Super 14 is leaps and bounds better than NRL.

I think you'll find wolvesjr34 & Richo are not from Vic either...

One of you said league is like netball. AFL is more like netball whenever there is a slightest bit of contact they call a foul!

 

[Footycardtrader]

Here's another few not from Vic....

JZA, twentysomething, clarkescards, MetallicA', drewjulz.....

Ducky, I think you were a little off with that comment...

Go AFL, i could never get into the NRL. Ive tried to stay up and watch the games on channel 9 but i just cant get into it.

 

[ducky_poo]

hang on a sec ok let me put it this way. if you take out all the people who are from vic then basically you'd have the same as nrl supporters. just saying vic is an afl state. full stop. victorians are like cletus from the simpsons. lol

ya huk

Darts is an international sport as well, does that mean its better as well?

Eddie doesn't commentate the footy either...

I think crowd numbers tell a pretty convincing story.... Even in Sydney, the AFL games get more people than NRL...

who cares if its international, i think the fact that AFL is uniquely australian makes it better not worse. what other country has a nationwide pro sport as big as Aussie rules that is played only in that country? the fact that only we play it and understand the beauty of it makes it all the more special. the fact that we miss out on international competitions like the world cup does take it down a peg or 2 though.

VIC, SA, WA, NT, ACT, and Tassie are all footy first states, and QLD and NSW have fairly large and passionate supporter bases, you rugby guys are outnumbered by a fair margin.
