Why do people actually support AFL ? To most people in NSW and Sydney its a boring fumbling game?

Question

Seriously this AFL thing has to end, the game is a joke, borring and fumbling, no real hits or tackles, no structure and goes on and on and on for ever, booooooring ! I can't believe how well it's accepted down South and elsewhere, are people not tough enough or disciplined enough to play League down there ?

Answer 1

I'd say the JOKE is you & your game, How can you take a game as being serious when you've gotta stick your head between the @rse cheeks of your team mates. Well i suppose the discipline bit would be trying NOT to PUKE.

Answer 2

Wayne, I know you have only submitted this question in the manner you have for a bit of a stir & see what response you get..........but be warned, most in here don't have any sense of humour & take everything seriously. Most wont banter with you - they'll just insult you in retalliation.

I refer to your game as cross country wrestling & your "discipled" players regularly bite, spear tackle & stick fingers up rectums!!

But AFL does get boring, to me anyway, at times due to the recent tactics of time wasting & kicking backwards - now I've left myself open to more insults from the users of this section!

Answer 3

I watch football for the game but also to have a bit of a perve and all the blokes your talking about are butt ugly with squashed in noses and ears like cauliflowers.

Answer 4

Yes, I agree. Aussie Rules is becoming a game just for kids.

With nearly as many umpires on the field as players, & double the amount of cameras, a player only has to say 'boo' & he gets rubbed out.

The game has lost all the muscle & the bit of biff that went on. Not many players reach 30 years of age nowdays - the teams are full of kids because it is less a contact sport than basketball is.

The umps pull the game up as much as is done in netball!

The powers to be don't want men involved - they are pandering to the female audience. They have female umpires; female boundary riders; female sports presenters.....soon it will be female players!

Answer 5

*YAWN*  Your not the first pleb to come here and try to stir things up...so get off your stupid high horse and GROW UP little boy.

Melbourne Storm won the NRL finals '07

Geelong brought back the flag to Melb in '07

Melbourne Victory won the A-League final '07

....no wonder your are having a sook :P

Answer 6

Wayne A,your a P!$$er mate nice stirring question,and to answer its the true AUSTRALIAN game not that pommy game they play up north where there seems to be this fascination with each others Arses i.e heads up bums and the odd chocolate finger,Aussies rules has hardness and multiple skills compared to rugby-TACKLE (from the front)throw-kick up in the air-no where in particular-tackle again,and that's about it,have a good day up there Wayne,CHEERS!

Answer 7

You're just surrounded by all your insecure league mates. Most people in Sydney follow AFL if they are into sport, it's just a matter of if they like league better or AFL.

Have a look at the rugby league section of YA sometime. Don't league supporters have internet connection?

Answer 8

More people support AFL than thugby for good reasons,

1, More skill full than thugby, kick both feet, handball both hands (not throw) bounce the ball (something that's beyond the intelligence and motor skills of people from the north of the border).

2, A hit from AFL can come from any direction unlike thugby where it comes from straight on.

3, The high flying spectacular overhead marks.

4, Unlike thugby, AFL is more continuous in its play, thugby get tackled put ball on ground, get tackled put ball on ground, really that's so hard to remember.

That is why more patrons attend Afl than thugby, seriously when was the last time thugby reached a crowd over 50,000 in a home/away game.

Answer 9

try saying that to melbourne...

Answer 10

Wayne, Look at the pugnacious faces and spaced out appearance that NSW people have to watch.

If it's so boring why did the NSW residents flock to see the Swans and support them.

Who wants to watch a bunch of muscle bound morons peering up one anothers A###H###S.

Answer 11

Nice try Wayne o.......I`m not bitin`

Answer 12

Good to see you back in here Wayne, I missed your one-eyed claptrap. Easiest two points ever.

Answer 13

Best game in the world mate

Answer 14

What rock are YOU from under.   I think you might find when ya check ya facts that a team named MELBOURNE STORM won the ARL cup / trophy thingy .   "Australian Rules" football is the "GREATEST GAME" in the world played at the MCG the "GREATEST STADIUM"  in the world, and in ALL states and territories , unlike ARL 2 and bit , with the bit side Melbourne storm, supreme  .     Trouble with most people from Sydney, ya simply dying of envy ....Jealous ...and if you weren't,    you wouldn't bother writing the Garbage you have! .....You say you can't believe how well its accepted , thats possibly , due to a lack of commonsense from all the hits you have taken... Jealousy is a curse!

Answer 15

Wayne, stay away from this section if it's so boring!!!

Answer 16

You see it takes more than one brain cell to understand a game that operates in three dimensions and in which the ball doesn't stop and go to sleep between plays ... it's never going to do well in the heart of League country.
