    2010 AFL Grand Final: Collingwood v St Kilda

    So basically there has been 3 drawn deciders in roughly 100 such games. Why are you arguing about it? It's still a rarity

    Who's afraid of the AFL, asks Titans boss Michael Searle

    Yes traditionally North Melbourne, Western Bulldogs and Melbourne have been the weaker Victorian based clubs financially, Port Adelaide are also at the bottom of the pile. Although it should be said these clubs still turn over a huge amount of money, they are no where near the level of the...

    AFL, Aerial Pingpong and Cross-country netball

    I remember reading somewhere that Queensland originally took up Australian rules (around the 1900s) but its close ties to New South Wales (in trade, culture etc) meant that League won out in the end. Thats your opinion but its the last line that I have trouble with, it is ignorant to think...

    Who's afraid of the AFL, asks Titans boss Michael Searle

    Sorry if your meaning that either Fremantle or West Coast are in debt then I will have to correct you, they are extremely sound clubs financially. West Coast in particular make million dollar profits each year despite having to pay to WAFL something around $2mil a year.

    AFL, Aerial Pingpong and Cross-country netball

    In reality Jim Stynes is the only real 'star' to come from Ireland, and the Irish competitions are not professional, hence why they need other jobs. Its not as if a baker in Ireland has one day decided to come to Australia and play AFL.

    Perth must get their own NRL side: Tallis

    Interesting comment considering the Crows are one of the strongest clubs in the AFL financial wise

    Who's afraid of the AFL, asks Titans boss Michael Searle

    The clubs do, but I believe the AFL does not, this is why often the AFL membership tally for clubs will be lower than what a club has on its own website. This year is the first year the AFL are counting 3 game memberships in official totals, hence the dramatic rise in membership numbers for...

    Who's afraid of the AFL, asks Titans boss Michael Searle

    The AFL do not count pet memberships and non-game day memberships, so while their maybe 15,000 members who have 22 game memberships, the rest is most likely made up of others like 11 or 17 game memberships.

    AFL, Aerial Pingpong and Cross-country netball

    Yes I am fully aware of this but I was more interested with the comment that they would be the highest paid players next year, which I wasn't entirely sure was correct especially considering I believe Pavlich is eligble for Veteran's Status next year which will likely significantly boost his...

    Who's afraid of the AFL, asks Titans boss Michael Searle

    Solid points, but Brisbane only won 3 straight. Plus from what I believe the Lions have formed a reasonably solid supporter base in QLD? Would they be the biggest club in QLD behind the league clubs? In terms of support? Also, to Queensland dwellers, what would be the order of support for...

    Who's afraid of the AFL, asks Titans boss Michael Searle

    Really? This I have not seen or heard of, do you have any quotes or anything of the like?

    AFL, Aerial Pingpong and Cross-country netball

    Are you sure about this? Maybe this year but I can recall reading somewhere that Pavlich, Riewoldt and Brown will all go close to $1mil next season? Plus in reality Hunt and Folau are only getting around 300-400k to actually 'play', the majority of their contracts is marketing based.

    Is it a crime around here to like 3 codes?

    On this comment in particular, is it not the NRL's goal to be the most popular sport in Victoria? Or for that matter, Australia?
