Why is your sport better than AFL?

Question

and don't tell me "coz we're tough" coz ive heard that a thousand times, im keen for some genuine reasons

Answer 1

Mainly the scoring is higher in the aussie rules. It's pretty simple actually.

Answer 2

Rugby League is far more structured, a rectangular field where you can easily view the full length of the ground and all play. It doesn't start haplessly at one end, than with 3 kicks be at the other end. It has structure!

The tackles are deliberate and true, there usually is no scrappy play (Aussie Rules resembles a continuum of scrappy, fumbling play).

Yes the players hit harder and are stronger as well....

Answer 3

No sport is better than AFL.

Answer 4

At least AFL players know how to spell and talk.... not like all the dummies that support NRL. AND AFL players are more gorgeous, not as fat, know how to kick a ball (usually) and are way smarter than NRL players.

Answer 5

Many reasons. The game is shorter so you don't lose interest halfway through

Our refs aren't as big a cheats as yours

Our players are prettier

We actually play internationally

We don't resent newcomers, i.e. other states  when they join our league.

Our shorts are not as tight, so the blood supply to the brain hasn't been cut off! lol

Answer 6

Not saying one is better than the other, but out of cultural pride I have no interest in the sport of our southern neighbours.

No matter how many of you move here!

Answer 7

AFL would be a good sport IF they went back to the good old days. The game today is just rubbish. Give it time they will be runnin around in pink dresses. C'mon you play a contact sport to get hit with big shots (within reason) but nowadays if you bump sum1 you get rubbed out. I say go Union an League an even Netball (theres some pretty hard hits in that at times)

Answer 8

Because its a real mans game. u sissy's woulded no wat a real game of footy is. Football should b hard, tough and skillful not just a bunch of homo's prancing around like fairy's kicking a ball 2 each other in the paddock taking dives, the game is a disgrace do Australia. AFL was made 2 suiet the Australian condtions, wat a pathedic excuss 4 a soft pointless sport. Man up and have a go

Answer 9

im with storm girl..... afl is just a pointless game and the ball has more hand action than foot action so how can u call it football? the scoring system is wacky too.... afl is for soft sissy boys..what skill is required to hand the ball to someone..... where's the skill in that....???

Answer 10

alf suk **** go nrl

Answer 11

A lot of common reasons here are:

The uniforms and the game is played internationally, but how does that make their game better than Aussie Rules? Who really cares about the uniforms or where the game is played. Soccer is played worldwide - yet here in Australia a lot of people don't give a S**t about it.

So really they still don't have a genuine reason, unless of course you count, "they're g*y" or "they're poofs"

Answer 12

Aussie rules, pretty g*y name, pretty g*y sport!!!

Plib D, plz dont disturb this fun family atmosphere. There is no need 4 a unprovoked attack on some 1 like that.

Reoprted

Answer 13

Winning the premiership.

Hang on, both codes have that.

Representing Australia against other countries in international competition.

The winner is Rugby League.  What's the best AFL can show?  The Mexicans vs Spare Parts.  What a joke.

Answer 14

You have got some balls coming into the RL section coz usually this could get nasty, my opinion...

NRL is better than the AFL because for one the games atmosphere is better, better entertainment, you dont have crowds of 50,000 fence sitters, we have crowds of true passionate supporters (yes i know there are some that are passionate in the afl) we are a tougher/rougher sport, if we get tackled its not 'ohh stop the game'. AFL, you call it football but all i see when i watch it is a lot of people hand balling to each other, back and foward and going no where, it doesnt interest me. RL is exciting, its fast, its just an awesome game, i love it and thats my opinion... your entitled to yours..

cheers

Answer 15

AFL is great, its better than that NRL. NRL is predictable and the whole game moves in circles.

team one makes 5 tackels on the other team

other team makes 36 metres

other team makes a grubber

grubber fails

hand over

next team makes 6 tackels

makes 36 metres

does a grubber

grubber fails

over and over and over again....

Union is pretty good to, anything is more interesting than league.

Union and AFL are equal in goodness.

Answer 16

It's not. Aussie rules football is the best. By the way, AFL is a league...not a sport.

Answer 17

Rugby League is dying - you only have to look at the crowds to see that.

The Swans draw more in one game than an entire round of rugby leagie. If they get less than 50,000 at ANZ stadium the Swans are disappointed. In Canberra they get 7,000 to a game and that's only by adding 2,000 to the numbers.

I was an avid league supporter in my youth but when Super League started I watched some AFL. The speed and skills of AFL are so superior to league it;s not funny.  And now it's encrouching on the league territory in Sydneys western suburbs, it really is the beginning of the end - in 10 years league will be a minor sport - like union was in the 1970s.

Answer 18

RUGBY

the rules are better

the atmosphere is better

the players are hotter

and the shirts are tighter mmmm mmmmm

there not scared to throw a punch

they dont cry like afl players and pull each others shirt to look tuff

Rugby is just better all round.

and its more entertaining to watch.
