    That's the sort of thing I used to hear way back and then the Sydney Swans became a success and then the Brisbane Lions became a success and then the Gold became a success and now GWS are threatening to become a success. With Queensland Australian Football participation booming and providing...

    The other side of the coin is that he didn't specifically name a city. Nobody has specifically named where Pth3 would come from.

    In any case, 19th century English football was interchangeable enough in the sense that there were still times that teams primarily playing different rules wouldn't even know what rules they were playing until they met each other, and that players would shift between one set of rules and...

    The indigenous game was inspired by a handful of colonials to keep cricketers fit during winter. There were many influences to the early indigenous game but definitely NOT rugby. In fact it is recorded that Tom Wills advised against adopting any rugby rules. This can be seen in the first ten...

    If you look at EPL map, EPL teams only exist central England. From Colchester to Leeds and from Cornwall to Bath. Wales is rugby union and England is a part of the UK. That's hardly uniform. American Football is more popular in the South but the NFL has only 32 teams in 22 states that's NFL...

    ....ovals...... most ovals in W.A. are named in fact "ovals" except for some "reserves" or "parks"etc In fact, the only only oval in W.A. that I could find with "cricket" in it's name is the WACA and football is no longer played at the WACA.

    So what? Are you saying national sports don't exist because of that criteria, That would negate every national sport commonly listed. There are number of national sports that are listed purely because they are indigenous to that country. Not only is Australian Football Australia's ONLY...

    Well cricket is played nationally like many other sports in Australia but cricket is not indigenous to Australia so it is not our sport. Cricket has less participation and less popularity than Australian Football and cricket has less uniform coverage than Australian Football.

    yes you are. Yes, that's correct. No, NFL is only played in 22 out of 50 states. Apart from baseball? So why cannot Australian Football lay claim to be the national sport of Australia? AFL will have professional clubs soon in all states. Much better than the NFL with 22 clubs in 50...

    Absolutely deplorable that this doesn't get more coverage. Look at the talent.

    No i didn't because obviously by all criteria Australian football is a national sport. Yes and didn't i give examples of other countries with national sports that fall well short of being universally popular or universal coverage. Do you want other examples of countries with well recognised...

    Yes, because it's generally agreed that Australian Football is already the national and indigenous sport of Australia. There are numerous examples like this where the national sport is not universally played across a country.. Then there are numerous examples where the national sport is not...
