...all you needed to do was watch that game. Unbelievable. Perfect game. Couldn't have asked for more on ANZAC Day. What a match!

1. Best crowds (by far)
2. It's a national sport, rather than a two city sport like Rugby
3. 700 mil TV rights
4. Highest club membership of any other code by far
5. the Grand Final stops a nation (except Sydney, as they have their grand final the next week, which attracts a crowd of 15,000 like every other game during the season)
6. Rugby sucks
7. I like soccer - Go Victory!
8. I have a date tonight. Any pointers guys?

1. Soccer's international crowds top any AFL matches.
2. Might be a national sport, but I prefer international sports so I can get variety.
3. Because we fail at every other sport.
4. Don't care
5. The Grand Final is meh, just another game of Eggball.
6. Agree'd
7. Soccer is a beast sport.
8. Tell her you're an elite admin on an Xbox 360 forum, that'll get you some bed time (:

Dude, just leave the thread. And thats coming from a massive soccer fan.

Back to the footy. GO BOMBERS. OMG. BEST GAME EVER.

Great game by Ryder to ruck all day.
When Zaharakis kicked that goal the stadium errupted. It reminded me of when robinson scored for Melbourne Victory against Adelaide in 2006.
This win beats the one against Carlton. And that was brilliant. Two of the best game, no, the two best games ive ever been to.

AFL isn't an International sport so you can't really compare them. Anyway EPL games max out at around 50k+ fans, where AFL can get 80k+. Dont get me wrong, I

football, but AFL is a freak sport (freak in a good way).

Good argument, fantastic rebuttal I **must** add!

No, they're not pointless. I'm showing you what a real sport consists of.

I don't care if you're a massive croquet fan, I'm expressing my opinion and you don't have a right to stop me.

darbsta123 said: Go back to hell

Fantastic point you bring up there. "You don't follow the sport that I do, thus you belong in hell and I hope you die" - is this a typical AFL fans mentality?

You bring up an interesting point. The fact that the AFL is in nationwide (NOT international) sport, you'd expect in this country for large masses of people to rock up to the matches.

But I too can recall from the AFL matches I have viewed, the only time I have ever seen an AFL match with up to 80,000+ people is a special AFL occasion (i.e, Grand Final, Anzac Day). Other games have barely any people rocking up in comparison.

Any sport that rewards you points for missing the goals is fail.

I really dont see 1 point as a reward as you get 6 points for getting a goal.

International sports have a greater appeal, therefore more fans.
Also forgot to add, with international sports, you have a WHOLE COUNTRY backing up a team

I just have too laugh out loud at members such as gunnery and rainbow baging out elite sporting codes such as AFL.

I wonder how well they would go out there on the field??

in fact... i wonder if they would have even played any sport at all.
