Best thing about following both AFL and NRL

Footy weekends!

Going to Lang Park on Friday Night to see Broncos beat the Sharks then off to the 'Gabba on Sunday Afternoon to see the Lions destroy the Demons.

This will be the second Broncos game I've actually been able to make so far this year (the other being the double header).

Yep, sounds like a winner, mate.

Its good to be able to get the double-up.

I think the best things about following both codes is that you can refrain from banging the tin foil hat on and let loose online with an embarrassing anti-code rant that makes you look both desperate and intellectually challenged.

Not that anyone would do that on this site, of course :p

I watch alot of sport, not just League and AFL.

I pretty much just watch my teams, but that goes for all the other codes as well.

People should bask in what is unique to Australia. We have so many different sports. Diversity my friends.

I get stuck into AFL a lot in TFC for obvious reasons, I'm not an AFL fan at all but all the power to those who want to support it. As Dan says diversity is important - and this is probably why I get stuck into the AFL actually.

... and this :thumn

As someone on both BF and LU (no need to guess who that would be) said "Why can't we all just get along?"

Been hearing quite a bit of AFL on the 2GB news bulletins last few days. Seems to be a regular now as last story in sport & the good thing is plenty of times its not Swans or Giants but other clubs & players. Good stuff 2GB. :clap:

It's a shame the Victorian media is not so kind vis à vis rugby league. This sort of "openess", forced, paid for or otherwise, is not to be found south of the border. Even a day after SOO with record Melbourne viewers the SOO is hidden away in The Age.

That's my main gripe with the world of AFL. The deck is stacked against RL in the media in this country, for whatever reason(s). Don't think its fair to claim that I'm wearing a tin foil hat when it's evidently true.

It works both ways...

The media are the ones that are making up all the code war rubbish and people actually believe it.

I've written about it. Dunno how that means it "works both ways". It reinforces my point.
