Should we all agree that the AFL is "scared" of our game?'"
He never stops whinging and whining about the Perth Reds, he needs to change the damn record or follow another sport with a Perth team in it because he'll be waiting a while for the NRL to get the money to have another crack.
The truth is, it was his clubs own fault they were booted.
Onto AFL.
AFL is scared of every code out here, they are so protective it's not funny.
But things are changing as the other codes start to circle, that's why they are going so hard to move into West Sydney and the Gold Coast even though they know they have no following.
They are popular in the smallest states and if they don't get into the bigger ones and get support, their own support is going to diminish in the smaller states as the other 3 codes move in.
Yes, I believe they are scared.

| Quote: The 18th Man "I agree with your last statement, but league had no where to go but up.
AFL will always be here and I don't believe they fear any code in Australia. The AFL is the best run sport in the country by a country mile and they will continue to go from strength to strength. League will too. All three codes (League, Rugby and AFL) can co-exist. The sleeping giant that will wake, especially if we win the WC 2018 bid, will be football.'"
AFL needs to expand as RL areas are 55% of australias population.
RL areas make up 60% of all advertising as well
queensland and nsw are the key areas
AFL will always be around, union will go back to being irrelevant
RL will be so far ahead of the rest its not funny

| Anyone doubting The Storm have a presence is kidding themselves.
Great range of sponsors - banking, finance, cars, caravans - on their jerseys alone.
You can see it in Melbourne - their colours are quite evident out in the city.
They are doing a great job and should improve out of the new ground.
You can imagine they would be going absolute gangbusters with some decent TV and press coverage; which they still have to fight for on account of AFL bias.

| Quote: eels fan "Nothings good enough in RL for you, so go and follow AFL cause I'm sick to death reading about you bad mouth RL and bigging up everything else, give yourself a triple.
Your team killed itself, your team was let in by the ARL, your team back stabbed the ARL after 1 bloody season, your club brought it all upon itself, and your clubs so called fans didn't watch your club.
Your mob need to take some damn responsibility for what your club done.
GET STUFFED.'"
School time yet?
How many at Parramatta today? Lovel sunny Sunday afternoon, minor premiers v's near neighbours, decent enough stadium. Yeh I am sure AFL is cacking itself!

You know the NRL can't do anything until 2013 at the earliest, yet you keep whinging.
Are you going to do this everyday until 2013?
