LOL! 10 Victorian teams (+2 ex-Victorian teams) in an 18 team competition. GF played in Victoria regardless of where the finalists are from. GF replay. A team from west Melbourne called "Western Bulldogs" despite there being 5 teams in the competition located further west, 2 of them over 2,500...

Hmmmm... that didn't work out too well, did it?

Either "Footscray Bulldogs" or "Fifth-most Western Bulldogs". Current name would work in the VFL, but not the AFL.

How about a bonus point if a team wins all 4 quarters of a match? That will keep a team attacking even if they've clearly won the match, and remove the opportunity for collusion where the losing team is "allowed" by the winning team to get over the 100 point mark, and it won't matter which...

It's both amusing and kind of sad to see someone working so hard to try and spin the facts. "Oh sure, we drove a lot of fans away in 2012, but not quite as many in the following years" The AFL expanded in 2012, taking the number of teams from 17 to 18, and the number of matches in the season...

No, it is totally correct. 2010 6,494,564 2011 6,533,138 2012: GWS get added, there's an extra game per round, and yet the total number of people attending drops.

Although it is interesting that since the 2012 expansion, the total number of people attending (not just the average) has dropped as well.

If if if ....If the AFL ran a proper "play each opponent twice per season" league rather than a mickey mouse "play all teams once and some teams twice" arrangement (while making sure to schedule their "Blockbuster" matches twice per season and the lower-drawing matches only once per season), the...

Whose fault is that?

At half time during an A-league game, I switched over and and saw an AFL player have a free shot at the ridiculously large goals, manage to miss, and get rewarded with a point for trying. Not sure how anyone can seriously follow a sport like that.

I agree - the "proof of the pudding" is whether it gets updated. ...etc... You'd think 2 days before the day of the tournament teams wouldn't still be looking for players...

A) 18 team competition, of which 10 teams are Victoria, 2 more are ex-Victorian (and still promote their "Victorian-ness" when it suits them), and 1 more team created solely due to the number of Victorians retiring to that area. B) Grand Final held in Melbourne every year, regardless of the who...

The Special Air Services Regiment Regiment? Maybe they are on their way, but needed to stop at the ATM machine and forgot their PIN numbers.

I've driven along Canning Highway many, many times, and I've never encountered this amazing, physics-defying hill where you have to drive faster than the speed limit to get up the hill. You know what they say about assumptions.

Fremantle Dockers first season: 1995. Perth Glory's first season: 1996/97.

Well, is it now the AFL, or still the VFL?

As a sports fan, the idea of the Grand Final being hosted by the team that earnt it that season is a lot better than the idea of the Grand Final always being hosted in Melbourne regardless of who the teams in the Grand Final are.

Wanderers's Crowds for their first 6 home matches (which is up to the point where their winning streak started)... 10,458 Central Coast 0-0 19,126 Sydney FC 0-1 8,075 Melbourne Heart 2-1 9,011 Newcastle Jets 1-2 9,614 Melbourne Victory 0-2 6,755 Brisbane Roar 1-0 Average 10,506.

No, that's wrong. Feel free to test it out if you want... http://math.ucsd.edu/~crypto/Monty/monty.html

There's also a Missy Moos in Mount Hawthorn.

In Perth they're just happy to have managed to get in a taxi.

Well, if we're making bizarre hypotheticals, what happens if an atomic bomb is dropped in the heart of Melbourne? Bearing in mind over that 50% of the people on the planet who follow AFL would live within the blast zone, the entire league would be toast, not just one team.

100% correct - absolutely nailed it!

I'd say there are now 4 (equally) massive amazing results in the history of the world cup. 1950: USA 1-0 England http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v_England_(1950_FIFA_World_Cup) 1950: Uruguay 2-1 Brazil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguay_vs_Brazil_(1950_FIFA_World_Cup) 1966: North...

If you adjust for inflation, the billion dollar mark has already been passed, and by an athlete in a sport that's not even around today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_Appuleius_Diocles

That said, Mexico only just stumbled over the line to get into 4th place (out of 6) in the current CONCACAF qualifiers.
