If it starts becoming too much like soccer which is a really s**t sport.
Not only is this comment generally the most ignorant comment on BF, it's wrong on so many levels.
Compare the AFL to the EPL for instance.
One has an uneven draw, the other has all teams playing each other twice, home and away.
One has a wildcard system at the end to decide the champion, where an injury or one bad game could cost the top team the trophy. The other awards the trophy to the best team over 38 rounds.
One rewards teams for finishing bottom, you'd know all about that. The other relegates you for finishing in the bottom 3.
One sees the better teams picking up easy wins against the bottom teams because the bottom teams start playing for earlier draft picks, the other sees the bottom teams often presenting the biggest challenge to the other teams because the bottom teams are fighting for survival.
One is a closed shop, every so often looking to admit plastic clubs into its league. The other allows promotion so if you are good enough, you will be promoted. Thus, one is a closed shop, the other is an open shop.
One is a socialist system that looks to put a restriction on spendinqg, the other doesn't.
One plays to half empty stadiums every week. The other is a full house every week.
One reaches a market of 3 million people, the other reaches a market of 3 billion people.
Don't worry, the CONTRIVED AFL competition will never reach the dizzy heights of the Premier League.
Maybe if you were emotionally invested in a football team the same way you were invested in your AFL team, you'd understand the pressure of your team having to grind out a win week in week simply due to the fact there are no finals to fall back on, and thus, the tactics that go with it.
Sucks to be you.
Bandwaggoner.Been drifting away for a few years now.
I still love Richmond, and probably always will, but really couldn't care about 'The AFL' and its focus on PR and the corporate aspects of the game all that much.
Call me a bandwaggoner if you will, but my team going through a golden patch is probably the only thing that has kept me around. When the cycle turns and we go back into the pack, I doubt I'll follow things to any serious degree.
Bandwaggoner.
i am thoroughly enjoying out struggles as i know when it turns it will be sweet
Only one of them can keep you awake for the duration of the game too. Hint - the one without 0-0 draws.Not only is this comment generally the most ignorant comment on BF, it's wrong on so many levels.

The skill level and tactics used in the 90's were s**t in comparison to what we see today.Have already stopped watching a lot of games these days.
It's a very weak and bland sport at the moment. Only a couple of players keep it entertaining. Complete shell of what the game was in the late 90's.
I'd stop supporting Essendon if we merged with one of the scummier Melbourne clubs, but I can't think of anything that would stop me from watching AFL.
Underrated post.Dwayne Russell commentating
Essendon fans calling other teams "scummier"............I'd stop supporting Essendon if we merged with one of the scummier Melbourne clubs, but I can't think of anything that would stop me from watching AFL.
