The Association Football AFL Thread 4.0

[Art Vandelay_]

Fine to promote but don’t think opening round is the way to do it.

This. So much this.
Could have all northern states playing at home, in marquee slots.

And everyone else play around that.

Having lived in Sydney and Brisbane I don’t think the AFL have ever actually spoken to real people in either city. There’s a big crossover between fans of both codes, especially in Brisbane. Every time someone from the AFL or a journo say something about how Aussie Rules is going to become the number 1 code in QLD etc. it only drives people away. It’s also never going to happen.

I’m not sure if anything can ever make GWS a success but it won’t happen by getting people to ditch their NRL teams or picking fights with them.

To be fair the NRL aren’t a whole lot better with mistaking how big they are outside of NSW/QLD, it just gets ignored by everyone outside of NRL media.

The point is to encourage everyone to watch the games though.
