Quote: Jonesy "Why would I modify anything?
The link I posted just confirmed AFL is negative -6% two years in a row, you obviously do not have the nous to find a common and popular website yourself.'"
You requested me to pay a visit to the Caxton Hotel as if a visit to that p[ii[/isshole would somehow expand my knowledge of Australian culture and all things Australian Rugby League in order that I'd appreciate the full extent of Jonesy's unrivalled knowledge and experience of Australia and Australian RL. But you then modified your post and deleted it. I'm guessing even you realised what a ridiculous assertion it was, hence the modification. There's nothing to be gained on the knowledge front engaging with Caxton St boofheads. Or are you claiming they represent the Australian RL intelligentsia?

I am not asking for your street address.
I am from Brisbane, no big deal.'"
And the relevance of you informing me that you are from Brisbane is what exactly?

And the relevance of me informing you where I am from is what exactly?
Quote: Jonesy "I know I have trod on toes and told things from an Oz point of view, I do not back away from that.'"
You've told things from an insecure Jonesy's point of view - a world where empty seats and empty stadiums are of no concern so long as those TV ratings look good, Origin is popular to boofheads and nothing else matters in Jonesy's world. Well I've got news for you - you and your opinions alone do not represent Australia in it's entirety. Thousands upon thousands more fans turn up to AFL games to fill their stadia so they obviously represent more of Australia than you - and your statistically sampled mates who don't turn up for games but pore over TV ratings instead - do.
I get it - you don't like your blinkered views challenged. That's already been established. You only want to engage in positive debate about the sport in your country and you're not interested in debate about any negative aspects which challenge your intransigent beliefs.
Don't you think it's about time the game in Australia did something about the empty stadiums and the zero atmosphere and passion at NRL games? Or is the game in Australia only concerned about TV ratings, revenue from advertising and sponsorship associated with drinking copious amounts of p[ii[/iss? Watching games in front of the TV as they coincide with imbibing bottles of XXXX whilst being rudely interrupted by a stuffed-crust delivery from Eagle Boys when you don't want to miss the Keno replay does not equate to a game in good health.

Being a semi-knowledgable is infinitely more preferable to an existence where one's head remains firmly stuck up one's @rse. Thanks for the compliment though.
