Rumours and Stuff

But but but it’s the sporting capital of Australia?

It’s definitely the food capital of Aus. I have been eating like a King down here.

The Storm are interested cause they know they can get a cheap deal. The numbers thrown around were 350-400k. Thats a big difference to the 700k he was going to be on here in 26.

If he was still here, he'd be worth it. He averaged nearly 200m per week and played Origin ffs. He's a gun.

I don’t know if it’s the same in Sydney but my experience in Melbourne is that AFL isn’t a prominent thing that gets discussed. I thought I might have to fake support a team but with a full season under my belt I don’t think that is necessary.

Maybe it’s a big city thing as I’m sure there are lots of people in Sydney that couldn’t give a f**k about the NRL.

What I’ve experienced with league in Northern NSW, Brisbane, Cairns, Newcastle and Canberra (all of the places I have lived in since Sydney as a child) is that it is adored and supported in ways that I haven’t seen with the AFL.

When it was Origin day in I would see so many people come to work in Brisbane with their jersey on.

Not an AFL expert but there have been some disturbingly low scoring contests in recent years. Has their product gone further down the shitter?

I was invited to a game at the MCG last year. I tried hard to be gracious and positive but it was as boring as f**k.

I've tried punting on the AFL and most of the games have an underdog paying at least $5

It's actually not.
Although they like to think they are.
