Why do you worry about this? Channel 9 in Sydney last night led their sports news with a live cross to ANZ Stadium for the Swans game. Rugby league was pushed to second even though Channel 9 has the rights to the rugby. I think you are a very paranoid person if you think AFL is on the nose in...

Those jumpers look horrible.

So why are they paying Israel Folau a million bucks a year then?

I wonder if Micky will reveal EVERYTHING in his book?

I'd be asking Magic if he still keeps in touch with Peter Burgoyne and Adam Heuskas.

So the biggest game of rugby league ever can only attract 400,000 in Victoria, 60,000 in both Perth and Adelaide. This proves once more that rugby league is not a national game. No way it will get anywhere near a billion.

82 and 84 were "special" years. I was too young to remember 78 but I have seen replays of the game and the 4th quarter comeback sums the footy club up to a tee. Some of my most cherished memories. :thumbsu:

I always had my suspicions.

Please cut me some slack. I grew up at Norwood Oval. My father and his brother always called them singlet style guernseys.

I hate it when a player wears the long sleeve guernsey. Imagine a time when all players were to ear incredulous soccer shirts. This could be happening if Walls is to be believed.

The footy singlet could be in line for a banning in favour of soccer-style jerseys. The soccer types will claim this as a victory over footy, but I wont. Andrew Demetriou better get on the case with this stupid rumour. Singlets are our jumpers and that the way it's been since football...

That comment really annoys me. We have been in Sydney for 30 years now and all of Sydney know what footy is whether they like it or not. It's not a matter of accepting us. We are part of the fabric of the city and that was only further enhanced in 1996 & 2005. The biggest sporting club in NSW is...

Those Swans figures on hand make me want to cry then on the other hand make me furious.

So just because a guy has played Test cricket before, that means the cricket listening public of Australia has to put up with his brown-nosing, dead muppet monotone style? He is the most irritating commentator I have ever heard. Even worse than Steve Quartermain or that idiot Gus Gould.

The worst commentator of all-time Without doubt Justin Langer. The Gnome makes me want chuck the radio off the balcony.

If only there were more footy supporters like you.

Take it as gospel that Jarryd Hayne, Greg Inglis, Michael Jennings, a guy called Brant Crisps and about five under 20 players will be in the AFL by 2013. Rugby league will be nothing more than a bottom feeder comp. It's been said that there will only be two codes in Australia by 2025 and...

I'm not interested in soccer on any level and I know there are many others like me around Australia. Is their a chance we could start an anti-World Cup facebook site where people can confirm they will be boycotting the soccer?

Now this arrogant sport expects us put an entire season on hold for their overrated World Cup. The gloves are off and maybe we should do something to their A League. Ban the Victory from playing at Etihad and book out the MCG for an entire year so they can't use that.

sorry double post

Good move by the AFL changing the Swans game. Traffic around that area is disgraceful at the best of times.

I see the a league crowds and I don't think we have to take a stand against soccer.

To be fair footy already has two ready-made stadiums to play out of in Sydney and the the Blacktown precinct was helped along by the state and council governments. There was no rectangular stadium in Victoria so I can understand the Vic government's move. I believe the AFL should have put...

It is laughable though that Victoria does not have a decent rectangular stadium. It's not being used soley for thugby league. Thugby union and soccer will also be using it. I can fully understand the Victorian government's rationale here.

Bcoz they haven't been exposed to it yet like in New Zealand.

You get some days where there is more football than rugby league in the Sydney Morning Herald. I'd like to compare the Storm's run in the Age compared to the AFL. :)

The majority of articles are not simply lifted from the The Age, most of the stuff I'm talking about is written by Sydney writers. Today's big story for instance is written by Michael Cowley and Danny Weidler. Weidler is better known as a rugby reporter on Cha Nine in Sydney.

I've been really impressed with the Sydney Morning Herald's coverage of footy in 2009. They have been really impressive during the off-season with several from page headlines focussing in on footy. Saturday's Herald is traditionally the biggest selling newspaper on the week, excluding...

Kennelly's return made the front page of the Daily Telegraph today too. We've been getting some nice offseason coverage in both Sydney papers dis year.

Coming from a Carlton supporter. Obviously you are easily pleased. What a flip.
