Great post Kurt
You are so spot on with your assessment of afl/media/supporters of the game imo.
Living in an afl town and now being able to compare and appreciate another code of footy, I honestly believe the media has a huge influence on the popularity of a particular code of...
Love the station
They cater for all sports and aren't afraid to talk rugby league......want more can you want....lots of scores and updates and no PREJUDICE AGAINST LEAGUE.....like some on this site:D
I tend to agree with Mel, however, I would like to add that I would love to see the Storm win 4 premierships in a row.....so bring on the concesssions!;)
Hi Guys and Gals.:)
Had to take a small nibble at this one.
Funny how things come back to bite you in the bum, as it has done to some of the afl people and media, but there are 2 things that have upset me a lot on this whole saga.....
1. Lack of media support for the alleged women...
Nevertheless its still sold out......and who knows, if a bigger stadium was available, how many more people would get to games.
Give credit where its due.:)
Never will be in our lifetime or probably never, but by that time more people would learn to appreciate the rugby codes and soccer thankfully and no longer would Victoria, WA and SA be so insular.......now that would be a wonderful thing!:D :p
Hope you guys don't mind and if I am allowed, but I have 3 possibly 4 tickets available to this game :

Serves you all right!
No, the afl aren't a money grabbing code....no way.!
They care about their clubs...ha ha!
If the afl cared about their clubs equally, they would put in place a draw like the NRL where clubs played each other twice......no arguments..... game ... set.....match...

You have made some excellent points, but remember the people's opinions on this board are only a speck on the map of Victoria.
I live here and in the short time Storm has been in Melbourne, I have noticed a big change in people's attitudes (I mix with afl people all the time) and...
Nicko,
You are stretching our friendship with this post!:p
Storm is a fantastic name.....new team, new town, new era....get with it man!:cool:
Thunderstruck......fantastic!:)
Bet your last $10 on an afl night g/final pretty soon.
You know why.....cos the afl do things slowly....they ease their supporters minds into changing things about the game...believe me.....it will happen. The afl knows how successful night games are compared to day games.
Its called...
I watched the game at Crown Casino.....man what a game!
What more could you say.
But stuff Channel 9. for not showing the presentations....they are a bunch of idiots who simply have no idea how to treat sport with respect:(
What a GREAT great game!
The best since Storm vs Dragons in '99.
Had the best time at the Casino watching the game with some friends.......the game was over in a flash, it was so good.:)
I am going to all the Melbourne games and looking forward to it, but really hope the ref. throws out his whistle for all those silly penalties.
I am actually going with some afl fans who watched their first game of rugby league on Sunday night, and they said if its good as Sunday night, they...
Exactly!
People like Billy Big Ears live in a warren and only come out at night to feed and take time out to trash rugby league on Big Footy:D
Join the Zoo Crew Billy the Wabbit:p
You can't help yourself either nor do you surprise me anymore either.
And what you said above is simply not true about nos. and coverage of sports.
And in every post why do you always refer to being an ex rugby league supporter...we know that already:rolleyes: h;)
Night Time for me
Definately night time...the atmosphere is awesome...and those afl supporters on this board who bag out on league for selling their souls, watch afl jump on board and copy rugby league night finals in the next few years..bet your bottom dollar.
The afl have already copied...
