Last week, on the opening night of the AFL season in Melbourne, a huge brawl erupted in the crowd with someone recording it on their phone.

Jones, speaking about it the next morning, somehow dragged rugby league into it labeling it a problem for both the AFL and NRL.

Last time we checked, dust ups at the NRL are very rare. Some recent fights at the AFL have been hard to watch including one fan stomping the head of another in a street after the match.

Let’s not even start on the racism


The Back Page is an absolute example of that kind of work.

You can count on any "Good" NRL Story getting an "Its like in the AFL where..." response from Kelli Underwood. And if (on a rare occasion) there's a Bad AFL Story, the NRL is somehow brought into it.

"Bad" NRL Stories - they sink the slipper... No comparisons.

Last Sunday Offsiders, Kelly Underdaks in a discussion on the NRL, couldn't contain herself but to bring in the AFL.

Talking about teams and how they are going,she stated with the usual delighted smirk, the 3 Qld NRL sides have only one a game each ,whereas the Qld AFL sides have won more.

WTF has the Sunburns and the Plate Lickers wins, got to do with NRL teams' position on the NRL ladder.
I just can't imagine an NRL TV commentator ,when discussing the NRL teams ladder positions ,banging on where a AFL team from Sydney is down the ladder by comparison.
She does similar things on the Slack Page.

It's about individual sports, not a platform to flog AFL propaganda,

What’s wins got to do with anything. Storm are undefeated, NRL is clearly dominating Victoria in 2019.

Channel 9 reporting an assault of a 13 year old afl umpire yesterday in Perth by spectators. The vision shown is of the local rugby league field. Great work by the home of rugby league!

f**k you Erin. The Panthers fans that booed their side on Friday night have every right to show their club performance wasn't good enough.
