I suspected the original poster MVFC NMFC was a fraud. He started this thread and hasn't put in one reply.
I admit, I got sucked in
Yer, he did a good job of sucking people in. I mean look at his extremists comment. Such a tool.

I've wasted enough of my bosses time I'm going to next topic
yehp foxtell would choose afl over soccer because thats what gets the highest ratings and thats what brings in the dollars in.
Ill do business with companies that dont support soccer, just imagine how big a market that would be for a company made up of all afl fans who will not do business with soccer companies
weather you like it or not the afl has all the power, .Guess which sport all the media outlets make most of there money from ? the afl
guess who all the sponsors make the most money from ? afl fans
guess who has the most voters ? the afl

When your testicles have shrivelled to raisins and you've developed manboobs.. it's time for Soccer
Mate, even the Championship is worth more than the AFL ever will be. No media outlet will throw away soccer, and you're stupid for thinking they will.
Go ahead and attempt your sickening crusade. You'll lose.
whats the championship got to do with Australia ? nothing
as for no media outlet willing to throw away soccer ahahahahahahahha no won wants it, its not on free to air tv unless Australia is playing than it makes its way to sbs.THE countires number 1 selling newspaper gives it no attention.What sport cant get on foxtell ? theres even curling on foxtell
The AFL is the America of Australian sport, it has all the power and can bully other sports around
You're not worth my time or effort. One day, football will destroy AFL. And you'll be first up against the wall when the revolution comes.

So stop trying then. Too hard not to have the last say, isn't it?

Listen pal!!
Trolling is one thing.
Talking absolute bullshit is another.
You are adding nothing to this debate, except showing us all what a complete and utter moron you are.
FFS sake go back to the wogball board and find someone who will teach you the ability to post without dribbling crap down your bib!!

And McDonalds is more popular than truffles and champagne.
20 years ago communism was the most popular form of government.
It's pretty obvious why soccer is great for junior participation. Don't have the hand-eye co-ordination to hit a cricket ball, or take a jumping mark? Play soccer. Don't have the strength or speed for track and field? Play soccer. Not tall enough or have the motor skills for basketball? Play soccer. Girls and women are great at it!

The bottom line summarise why soccer will eventually, in this century, surpass Aussie Rules. Small minded people running it. If Eddie took over the AFL it will boom.
Whislt we are propping up suburban clubs we are not spending money on junior development and promotion (at the moment it is a token effort) AFL will shrivel. I am talking of football academies where each club has at least 100 kids under their umbrella. Each club having youth squads that play each other. Kids being identified by AFL clubs at 12. Not saying playing them before 18, but at least guiding them. It happens in Soccer overseas, and is about to take off here. The whole idea of amateur clubs developing the kids is unprofesional.

your ignorance wont make the soccer threat go away. Whislt our codes administration sits back and says "she'll be right mate, soccer is for pansies" Soccer is gaining momentum.

Meh, I don't believe so. That doesn't even make sense anyway. If I am so small-minded, then why aren't I declaring war on association football? Wouldn't an insular, arrogant AR fan, or administration, be doing whatever they could to shut down the competition?
Instead, we let them share our sponsors, play on our grounds, whatever. Many fans on here have openly professed less than a burning hatred for the roundball game.
By the sounds of it, you have no clue what you are talking about anyway. You have no idea how much money is being spent by the AFL on promotion and development. You have no idea of the participation rate in NSW and Sydney in recent years. What are you going to tell us, from over there in Adelaide?
My previous post was a pretty blatant troll, but you shouldn't be labelling others as ignorant, just because you have an uneducated opinion on the situation.

your previous post is the Attitude that the AFL boss has of soccer...
Switching to soccer because the NMFC is doomed? Good idea
On the negative side, there are some characteristics of the game itself that may make it difficult for the current boom to last. One of its problems is that soccer tends to draw low crowds, and drawing low crowds may make it difficult to win the public relations battle. For example, in the last ten years, the average attendance at Brazilian games has been 12,000, with 11,000 in Argentina, and 4,800 in Chile. In Europe, the average attendance is around 20,000. If soccer can't draw decent crowds in countries where it is king and has lengthy traditions, it may find Australia even more difficult to build crowd sizes that can then be used to hype it over the other football codes.
Soccer also exaggerates its global popularity. Soccer World Cups tend to be largely European and South American affairs. The World's two largest nations, China and India, have rarely been represented. Admittedly, there is more diversity in the finalists than there is in rival World Cups of basketball, cricket and rugby union, however soccer's low scoring means qualifications and performances are more of a lottery, and this naturally means it will always have more competitive games, and a wider variety of countries involved.

Lets look at this for logic to understand why this thread has gone so long and will never die.
I am not a bogan

really don't care so
How can you argue with that sense. But it is put best by the author himself issuing the care factor for the boss
Right, what topic was the boss going to be happy with. Don't tell me.
He barracks for Hawthorn too
I am not a bogan
Not sure if this is because, the word scatological was used, which strictly speaking is not the greek word for shit. If there was a double entendre there, ie daygo and scatalogical, it missed.

Probably because now, gratis of some online help, discover the term koproskilo, which means dogshit. Okay, call me whatever because,

The one thing i find amazing is the hundreds of different ways soccer fans come up with the same argument.
Aussie rules fans Know that soccer is more popular,
they know that afl will most likely never grow out of the four states it's popular in now, yet, and here's the thing - WE DONT CARE.
We enjoy our game, were grateful that we can go every winters week to see the game we love and whether or not it becomes popular on the world stage is inconsequential to everyone but the bigwigs in the afl commision.
Therefore all you young soccer fans who feel the CONSTANT need to go on about how much more popular the game is than aussie rules can go and share your wasted emotions somewhere else, and leave us in peace to enjoy the footy.
