[pivotal]

Just when the AFL have an opportunity to grow the sport they cut down the biggest tree.

And we are laughing at them.

Just when the NRL have an opportunity to grow their sport they schedule Melbourne Storm v North Queensland Cowboys at Aussie Stadium in Sydney.

Funny that most people dont have a problem with that. Grand Final is a different kettle of fish to a Final.

You are kidding me right? Try leaving Victoria once in a while.

Just for interests sake isn't the NRL Grand Final always played in Sydney?

Why? Nothing better than being at the G on the last Saturday of September

Look out, here comes the vocal minority!

Were you part of that vocal minority who thought the Cats should of had their final at Skilled?

Yeah I thought we should have a final at Skilled. Not a Grand Final though. I never claimed to be in the majority or in a minority.

 

[Tredders66]

But its ok for a North Melbourne player to punch someone in the guts and get off scott free.

The game is a joke.

Hey of course it is it's Archer everyone loves him!

Tell 'em to get back to us when they get rid of their padding.

The soft version of Aussie Rules football that the AFL are peddeling these days, is a very big problem for the development of the game north of the Riverina.

Nobody in Sydney wants to be thought of as soft.

Lets face it, the AFL is soft, therefore by association so are all it's clubs and those clubs fans.

Thanks AFL youv'e done a great job, no, really!!!

Oh, No !! Disaster !!

Geelong are the only team in the 16 team comp that cannot earn a home city final... all other 15 teams have the chance to earn home city finals except Geelong... this is unfair!!!

 

[fabulousphil]

I agree that Geelong should have a home final if they wish to.....although they may want to move it for financial reasons.

It staggered me that the NRL made Melb and NTH QLD play in Sydeney...unbelievable short sightedness, stupidity and Sydney centricness (if that is a word)

Will AFL Supporters get over it We all know it was played in Sydney and guess what it was played 2 days ago... Get over it! TIGERS V DRAGONS sold out this morning... 50k+ will go to the Eels games...
Sounds like you AFL guys are scared ********less of Rugby League! Seems like everyday their is something new on this board about RL this... RL that and they are being started by AFL people with AFL people baggin the Greatest Game OF All out... You guys have been bagging out RL and non of us have really stood up for it... Because we are laughing at you guys! Laughing at how paranoid you are. 5 Years ago nothing RL was ever mentioned anywhere let alone these kinds of forums, now look at it.

Actually not so. Geelong have MORE members residing in Melbourne than actually in Geelong if memory serves me correctly. When the Cats play at home there are always hordes of people heading down on the V-Line "Sprinter". The Catters play several home matches at the Dome for this very reason as well.

Yeah, News Limited's corporate philosophy to a tea. Rather than actually being pro-active about developing the code in Melbourne through the Storm on a night with no AFL, they would rather have a match in Sydney and give the illusion of a decent crowd by flooding the market with freebie tickets. Short-sighted, superficial and highly indicative of why it is highly undesirable for a media company to be running a sporting code, yet do bugger all to develop it at a grass roots level.

This is why I refuse to support News Limited and its competition aside from attending the odd game to sit with friends in the Chook Pen. The Storm game was on at 10pm in Melbourne on Saturday night. Well done Channel 9 and the NRL, not! (And they think moving an Origin match to Melbourne will actualy help in promoting the code; they have already FAILED in that in the mid90s only drawing 25000 to the MCG).

Now there's a tautology for you.

I think there's a law throughout Greater Sydney that if you live there you have to consider it the centre of the known universe.
