    News Collingwood News & Media

    Reality disagrees. How many hundreds of millions has the AFL spent trying to expand out of Melbourne, all for ratings of "N/A". Also interesting that Wookie has time to troll forums all over the internet but never seems to pull up the rubbish that's posted on the forum where's he's a mod.:think:

    Mega Thread VICBias - Genuine Discussion Part 2

    Did you unintentionally & perfectly prove the point of my post? For the last ~140 years the AFL has been on course to take over, but never does. The AFL admin have even destroyed the integrity of the comp to try and chase this dream. It's like a religion predicting and re-predicting the...

    Mega Thread VICBias - Genuine Discussion Part 2

    If it used to be the most popular sport or close to it, and now it isn't, how can that be true? PS: Do you ever find it interesting how posters from the desert states are the most vocal about AFL in NSW and QLD? Wookie is from SA. Yourself, Coolangatta, RedV3x are all from WA it seems.

    Mega Thread VICBias - Genuine Discussion Part 2

    Using your own logic, AFL was played in NSW and QLD before RL was created as a sport in the UK, and decades before RL was ever played in Australia. If it never took off outside Vic when there was significantly less domestic and international competition, why would it now?

    The AFL wants 22 teams. Name your next four.

    Is AFL the national sport of NZ?

    Expansion PNG Joins NRL .......... Options For AFL ??

    I think some here really need to learn that in normal sports there's a difference between the club competitions (notice the plural) and the sport itself... Also I wouldn't be throwing any stones in glass houses. This sub-form was created at the behest of a person who is literally infamous as an...

    Expansion PNG Joins NRL .......... Options For AFL ??

    I don't think people deep in AFL fandom understand how significant the Hunters playing in the NRL will be, and your post in particular just reinforces it. The key value-add of the PNG Hunters will be the players as a resource, not the cash from sponsorships or five-city metro TV ratings. While...

    20th AFL Team

    It seems worth pointing out that Aussie Rules is ‘expanding’ into smaller and smaller markets which will forever rely on handouts. Unlike RL there’s no new demographic to help fill these teams so the quality of the games will continue to fall. Compare that to the NRL’s options...

    The 2017 Rights Deal Discussion thread

    I thought after the last tv deal you'd be too embarrassed to give your opinion but here you are. Again. You're in for a bit of a rude shock if you think time is on the AFL's side too. As with most other things you post the complete opposite is closer to the truth.

    The 2017 Rights Deal Discussion thread

    They need to make a point of difference between themselves and 9. Why would anyone pay $50/mo for the four poorest games of the round when the four best games are live on FTA? To make sure Fox don't lose a huge chunk of subscribers they'll need to try and buy the simulcast rights off 9...

    The 2017 Rights Deal Discussion thread

    This coming from the same poster who said the NRL has a bunch of guys in a room making sound effects everytime a player is tackled. :$ What's Murdoch going to do, try to start another Super League War? You realise that the NRL screwing over Fox like this is ultimately good for other sports fans...

    The 2017 Rights Deal Discussion thread

    Most people here won't give a shit but what the Commission have done in just ~three years in charge of the game is phenomenal. The only thing that'd make it sweeter would be if they ditched Murdoch completely and went with Netflix/Google/etc for the online&pay component. Can't see it happening...

    Expansion AFL on ESPN

    AFL is too complicated for the people that invented Gridiron? :$ I'm sure that's why it'll never take off in the US. I love that this saltmine is tagged as expansion btw.

    Administration - The AFL v NRL *Moderator Approved* - Rules in OP

    Would I be correct in assuming someone posted about the Suns drugs saga? Or was it about the Bombers doping regime? Or was it something to do with the racism issues in AFL? Or maybe it was the match-fixing issues rearing their head again? Or was it about the draw inequality & extra salary...

    Are Brisbane irrelvant in Queensland. A lions supporter says they are..

    Problem with the Bears/Lions is that people here are judging them by the bubble of popularity in the late 90's/early 00's. That time period was unique in a lot of ways that'll never be repeated. I expect that they'll keep trending downward but people from outside Queensland will be making the...
