i really don't know how anybody can watch a boring a game as Aussie rules. its just as boring as union, and as regards being an Aussie sport, its about as aussie in origin as pasta.

i don't like it. it's not upbeat enough to get you pumped up like "simply the best" and "that's my team".

Fighting?They can't fight like the league boys.They just push, if you consider that fighting?

first the rebels 43 zip> union

2nd the gws 83 zip>afl


this must be sad for both codes trying to make a presence in their new sport...

I watched the Rebels game and for the first 10 they looked really committed and were doing well. Then it all fell apart.

I can't see them winning a game this season and that English import (cipriati or something) looked way out of his depth.

how are you parra?

good if they struggle like that cause itll mean they lose millions


good thread manly

but really, why isn't this in Other Sports?

It's about AFL and Rugby Union.

Great news mate,keep up the good work.

i can see LU having a ball on this topic soon...

theres an idiot on LU who started a thread on soccer taking over, he got hammered too

manly if you have a chance, check out "the fight club" on LU, if you are a member

used to have great fun there battling the trolls

what a brilliant post

spot on too

Reading the comments that despite giving away thousands of tickets and the offer of free food and alcohol they still didn't have a full house. it looks like the $200 million that they have spent has been wasted already. Demetriou will be filthy over this. i give them 5 years at most in the west before the go bust or have to relocate.
the people in the know said that western Sydney would be the Wateloo for Afl in Australia and already its looking like that. the more money they spend promoting the game in the west the happier i will be as i know all that money is going down the drain, and with luck send the 1 country game with no serious following outside of the southern states back to Victoria for good.

Doing well dally.

I can't see the Rebels getting a bigger crowd this year either, the tahs would be the biggest crowd puller for the Aussie s15 teams, maybe the Reds might get a decent crowd in Melbourne, but I can't see the Force and Brumbies packing out the ground.

And if they keep getting smashed, god knows what the crowds will be like against the SA sides.
