Not often I agree but I reckon eddiesmith's pretty close to the mark.
Once the footy season starts soccer will be a distant memory, Cricket's the one that should be worried, especially after the recent debacle.
Also agree with slangman, that Trevor Grant article was spot on imo

The AFL is shit mate wrecked by overpaid ego's if it wasn't for Collingwood i wouldn't want anything to do with all the crap associated with todays football. |
So why do you come to games then joffa if you think footy sucks? |
Well i thought my original answer explained it all.
I support the Collingwood football club. Our AFL game aint anywhere near as great as what many people think it is...it is actually becomming very boring, Nearly impossible to win Premierships, They stuff up the rules at any given chance, Charge bullshit prices for people on welfare benefits, Over priced and crap food. It's actually become a corporate dictatorship with no concern to the people who bleed and live the game....oh boy this is exhausting shall i go on ? |
Well I agree that with Prices going up is Stupid epically the food Prices. But The Price of Getting in is okay

Despite Andy, Angry and KB's best intentions,
AFL still > soccer.
Don't get me wrong, soccer's not a bad game. I'll sit down and watch now and then when it's on TV, and it's fun to play.
But, it is inherently inferior to AFL.

| Code: | The AFL tries to distance themselves from the sport's history, that's what they do and have been doing for some time now.
Shame because as good as Aussie Ball is as a sport, the professional league is one of the more stale sporting leagues in the world. |

Scott McDonald joins Carlton's Chris Judd in a little AFL style kick-to-kick.
Interesting that when football is in Melbourne the media always needs some sort of AFL slant.
Judd is not bad though. Maybe that's how he did his groin injury.
Here is the link to the video from 'The Age'

You both sicken me. And local aus rules? Amateur aus rules is disgusting to watch, at amateur level its the ugliest of all the codes. |
This what Ethnics think of AFL
| Quote: | Umm, I'll have you know that Aussie Rules IS the world game . . . there's already a thread on it.
And yes, the AFL IS scum, but the game itself is very good, not heinous at all.
Demetriou is the AFL's Brian Waldron. Always taking cheap shots at other football codes, always trying to pump up his own game without any real talent for promotion. I almost wish Eddie McGuire was AFL CEO.

Dave mate - AFL may be seen by many as the be all and end all in Australia - but seriously no-one overseas except expats knows anything about it and they care even less about it - they do however know about the Socceroos and that is the just the reality of the situation.
Being in Europe during September last year - AFL = what????? |

True, but who cares about what the Europeans think?
Perhaps they should stick to their tacky song contests or making those obscure, soft porn films

The EPL will most probably play a game or games in Melbourne next year for what we call premiership points, This is confirmation the market is here and is growing.
Will be huge we could possibly have a Man united chelsea game playing at the MCG for points back home. Not only is it huge it is so bloody exciting.

Would you care to explain the excitement factor of a game where 1 in 3 matches are draws and 1 in 10 are scoreless draws?

To me, Soccer is a game for people to stupid to bend over and pick up the ball.
They may get a large crowd to an E.P.L game in Australia if a city is prepared to pay the millions that will be demanded to stage one.
But didn't Wembly have 80000 plus recently at an N.F.L game in november?
As for the argument that the A.F.L over charges anybody checked out the cost of going to an E.P.L game recently! |

get your labrador to pay closer attention next time to the guys in different jerseys in the goal areas and also the guys who restart play when the ball goes over the sideline .

is this an insult or acknowledgement that soccer is a superior football code ? |
