I honestly feel like it's a mental thing. Too many players believing the hype and not doing the gard stuff. Simple as that.
We fix it we are right up there we don't we fall off the cliff Simple as that
I honestly don't get this. I guess people view sport differently but as mentioned earlier I don't follow soccer nut could name at least 1 player from each Melbourne A-League team.
Rebels started off really well but are now struggling. I'm a Storm member. Didn't grow up with any interest in Rugby League but when a Melbourne team came in decided to give it a go and whilst I still prefer Aussie Rules I love the Storm.
In the early days of Storm yes kiwis, islanders even ex...
You said 'don't know anyone who would be able to name a single player'
Even if we go with current players very few people in Melbourne especially sports fans wouldn't know Munster or Pappy.
Might be 1 ir 2 mire but that's about right but that's a whole different issues.
AFL = 9 offices in NSW and 1 in Canberra
NRL Victoria I believe have 9 staff members
It's not Stormd fault and just another example of why the AFL is a mile in front despite what delusional V'Landys may think.
I didn't follow Rugby League before Storm came in but still knew the name Mal Maninga for instance.
Melbourne and Victoria for that matter definitely knew the names Slater Smith and probably Cronk just like another poster mentioned moat people in Western Sydney know Toby Greene.
Yes I could...
Yup fair enough. Wasn't blaming you for derailing it apologies if it came across that way and now that I think about it maybe it's not that off topic
However without pretending to know the Western Sydney sporting market well I think Melbourne is a very different market.
I find it intesting...
Not sure what bubble you living in but everyone knew Slater Smith Cronk and even now everyone knows Pappy, Munster etc.
I love Aussie rules way more but that's a ridiculous comment.
Is that counting both the Fox League and Gen ratings?
Also Storm got flogged in that final and Collingwood v GWS was close. Even as a die-hard Storm fan I was flicking so I don't think that night was the best comparison.
Look how NRL GFs featuring the Storm have gone in Melbourne.
Storm are...
Not really
As stated Storm average more than the 3 time NRL premiers. At last check have the highest membership in the NRL and I know so many people who yes AFL is there number 1 but get to a few Storm games every year.
How are Auskick numbers in Western Sydney?
If I went to Parramatta today and asked if people knew they were playing on Sunday how many would know.
I know Melbourne is different but Billy Slater for example could easily be King of Moomba
Just interested how people think GWS are going off the field.
Met a Giants fan at the pub last year who said don't just look at crowds and put the argument up that the Swans are the only sporting club in Sydney that consistently draw big crowds.
Giants average last year was around 10.5k...
Not a switch but in a previous job dealt with the Giants and they were so good to deal with took out a Giants membership at that time. If I ever lived in Sydney I would take out a Giants membership and attend there home
Ganes and cheer for them against any other team (unless it was the last...
Needs to improve his tank. Would love to see a breakdown of 1st half v 2nd half possessions reckon it would be heavily weighted towards first half. If he can sort that out look out
I know its not footy nut I had one of these women at the Storm v Warriors ANZAC day game 2022 was all over Rhys Walsh who was then at the Warriors all night despite being a Storm fan.
