    AFL to spend $300 million on Gold Coast? Batlle with the NRL continues.

    Too right, they should maroon a team behind enemy lines with no help and let it prosper on its own. If you want to gain a foothold in a foreign market then you need to pump some serious dollars and take some hits early. What do you think News limited is doing with my mob the storm?

    The NRL Grand Final for the MCG!

    :? What's your point exactly, what has being a big club or not got to do with SOO? Origin doesnt work in the AFL because their are three states that are as good as each other.one state is essentially a third wheel and lets not forget that tassie has enough talent to be competitive also...

    The NRL Grand Final for the MCG!

    is a better tv deal going to stop 6,500,000 people going to the afl games or 550,000 people buying afl memberships? Im not sure you realise how big these afl clubs are? As for the ratings for the GF well if melbourne dont make it next year it will take a hit, melbourne making the gf is a...

    The NRL Grand Final for the MCG!

    the AFL's revenue is more than double leagues, a fairer TV deal to league wont change that much.

    The difference is their passon equals cash, memberships and ticket sales feed their clubs. passion from a couch offers nothing

    Oi, Sporting Capital of Australia, where's the ticker tape parade?

    I suppose we will all see once a super 14 side is playing out of melbourne. They certainly will have a lot more to work with than the storm did in '98. the down side for any union side is that the game is as boring as bat sh*t so it will be hard to find new converts.

    Oi, Sporting Capital of Australia, where's the ticker tape parade?

    Compare that crowd to the crowds of victorias second tier AFL comp, not much difference at all. Third rate crowds for a third rate comp. They were concerned about the lack of government support, what the melbourne bid didnt lack was corporate support and junior numbers. Good to hear, they...

    a third rate comps crowd figures are meaningless, union has a decent support base ready and waiting.

    The NRL Grand Final for the MCG!

    Thats what i love about AFL fans though, their passion and loyalty. It6 can be viewed negatively for the reasons you mentioned but i see it as their games strength.

    Oi, Sporting Capital of Australia, where's the ticker tape parade?

    Melbourne rebels is the union side Don't ever think that union is not accepted, victoria has plenty of union juniors and its played in many private schools(typical). If Victoria ever got a super 14 team it would be a success and its a shame because league sh*ts on union from a great height...

    Oi, Sporting Capital of Australia, where's the ticker tape parade?

    Because they havent embraced league as their number one faith? I'll give you a tip champ, not everybody likes our great game. Melbourne gets their reputation because they turn up to events.

    haha, the fight is over after the first punch.

    The NRL Grand Final for the MCG!

    If soccer went back to a winter sport then the victory would cease to exist, the majority of their supporter base is made up of sports starved AFL fans.

    The attempted tackle on Inglis was laughable, he went down quicker than Jenna Jameson.

    How much do you think each Storm player is on?

    So those players leave and the storm do what they always do and promote more young talent who invariably become better than their predecessors. Orford , Bell, Hill, Kimmorley, Swain are just a few examples of guys who left only to be replaced by guys just as good if not better. Cross will go...
