Should there be AFL in other countries??

[vivien]

Should there? I think AFL is ' aussie rules' and like china is having it... that is stupid.

I'd love if AFL became popular in the Pacific/Asia.

Africa too obviously, many countries there have started showing more interest in international sport. And we all know what great athletes they have.

 

[Black Flag]

no, afl should be confined to australia and tasmania.

seriously, afl will never take off os but i don't have a problem with exhibition games in other countries

N.

[Surkin]

no, afl should be confined to australia and tasmania.

When did Tasmania become an independent country?

 

[emuboy]

Yes, I would definitely love to see AFL played all over the world.

It would be great in years to come if New Zealand and South Africa had teams in the AFL (in addition to more teams in Australia), and there was a European AFL, an AFL competition in Asia (teams from Japan, Sth Korea, Singapore), and one in the USA/Canada, where Australian Football is becoming more noticed and popular.

I'd love too see it become more popular overseas. More talent, competition, international games etc. As an AFL fan how could you not want that to happen?

 

[CHIEF SMACKAHOE]

When did Tasmania become an independent country?

very soon, hopefully

 

[Poseidon]

I'd love to see our great game being played the world over, as long as other countries didn't rape the rules or the way the games played (although I guess Vlad is doing a good job of that already on home soil)

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

no, afl should be confined to australia and tasmania.

Has Tasmania welched on the rest of Australia and formed it's own country?
Good call BTW Surkin.

They obviously don't teach geography in Japan. Stupid welcher.

AFL or Aussie Rules

 

[TRAWP]

AFL - Australian Football League...
Aussie Rules - The style of game the AFL plays.

Neither should be played in any other country, let them stick to their Soccer.

Well in that case Tassie should have an AFL team then.

 

[TRAWP]

So should NT as more talent comes out of their then most states Never will happen though.

But imagine if the likes of Messi had been brought up on AFL...

Football talent?

 

[TRAWP]

There has been a lot of big names in the past 20yrs who were drafted out of the NT... A lot

 

[The Majestic]

But imagine if the likes of Messi had been brought up on AFL...

You'd have a one man team, with a blown out salary cap?

What are you on about

 

[The Majestic]

What are you on about

It was meant as a bad joke about how much he earns now, and how that would transfer over to the AFL.

But I got your point though, I was just being a smartass....but I'd like to see the AFL played at a higher level in other countries, a lot of the countries playing now are playing what I'd call grass roots football in their country.

Using Messi again, imagine if the leagues got to how the round ball code of football has gotten where players from each country moves to another to play, it'd be interesting to see someone from say Argentina playing in the AFL, and visa versa, though that may never happen.

But it would be rather interesting.

AFL is the league's name not the sport. "Should there be Australian rules football in other countries??" should be the question
