went to the 2020 final at metricon and i reckon the saints supporters outnumbered the yellow and black. whether the locals adopted us for just one game i have no idea.
freo have at least seen a grand final played on their home ground. pity they failed to grab that once in a lifetime chance. but i do feel for them, doomed to a st kilda like existence, yet with only one neighbour to compete with? now that's poor. they rank below gws for success already, soon the...
melbourne when wearing royal blue is horrid, fine in the navy blue. north's blue and white stripes just looks bland. need a darker blue. hawks is unique, awful, but unique, so good on them. the bulldogs just looks like something a tasteless feral designed. gws what is that giant logo ruing your...
How is this even a debate? Victorian teams - the big ones - play far more games in their home state than non-victorian teams. teams like collingwood and richmond and melbourne get to know the ground on which every grand final is played and every victorian final - meaning there is always a big...
i enjoyed Harmes brilliant boundary save leading to the matchwinner. Goddard's mark and goal to give the Saints the lead.Vossy's last few minutes to win back to back and Schuey breaking Collingwood hearts.
On the flipside - Chapmans on drugs, hawkins poster goal, scarletts flukey toe and god...
ha. you sound like you work for the afl. blind faith and ignorance of other codes and other states. your own bluster and insults do little to aid your case. the afl can throw as much money as they like, as they have with the giants and the suns - in the end they need crowds to make it work or...

pretty clearly said - the number one sport being taken up by "girls" not women, not 'females' - the future.
talking of cultural cringe - look i understand some afl fans will continue to knock soccer and build up their...
"Average player salaries will increase by 94 per cent across the board, going from $23,904 to $46,280.( rising to $82,000 by the end of 2027) It’s part of a four-tier system in which the top tier will receive $71,935 – up from $37,115 this year."
i think you have your sports confused
"The pay...
you do realise soccer is now the number one team sport being taken up by girls. i think you are taking a very afl centric viewpoint. and yes, young kids dream of emulating their idols - kerr, raso, and cooney-cross. parents of young girls who show elite potential would indeed be dreaming of that...
young girls choosing a sport won't be looking that far ahead, but even if playing in oz the minimum pay is pretty much the same. with far more upside if elite.

imagine being a young girl choosing a team sport - you've just seen the matildas playing in front of 90,000 people. the players on rich contracts at european clubs - why would you choose the comparative backwater of afl?
well that start was probably the best thing for the lions - surely lesson learned and they'll be ready to go from the first bounce next week. mind you collingwood are prone to lose big leads in finals.
done it without the umps giving them a free ride so far. without the umps the dogs woudn't have made the finals and certainly would have lost to both the giants and the swans.
