Are you in Sydney?

Because here in Melbourne and Victoria its all just AFL, AFL and more AFL.

Same goes for SA and WA.

Football rules over cricket for attendances and interest. It's just the way it is.

i am in perth , so am WELL aware of the afl/wafl/vfl/safl/ blah blah blah, i don't dislike the game,when played between two evenly matched teams (like the epic games between sydney and west coast of recent years ) it can be a great sporting spectacle.........just can't stand all the self righteous, jumped up boners in suits who commentate on the game and are involved in the admin side demetriou is i prize cock for already bitching about the world cup clashing with afl games IF (and i doubt it very much) the aussies get the 2018 or 2022 world cup.the rugby union commentators are worse,the only ones who aren't up themselves are the rugby league boys.

I never hear biased commentary over here in the east.

Granted that's how it is in WA and SA.

You're wrong about the NRL too, its the most biased commentary in the country. That was most evident when the Melbourne Storm debarcle occured and the sydney centric wankers all came out with their knives.

The last WC if i remember rightly we had Martin Tyler commentating for SBS on Australian games so it was called very well and only slightly biased.

And Demetriou is a very good operator. he does what's best for his code. No reason he should cave into soccer and their demands without getting the ebst deal for his code.

Which he has now done and its all resolved.

mate,the melbourne storm issue has hardly been mentioned on fta tv in wa as we don't have an nrl team....regardless of that the storm broke the salary cap rule and that is that. as for sydney centric wankers well,i spent 18 years there and i admit there are plenty.

martin tyler did commentate on the last cup with the help of some twatt called sandy some-one(can't even remember his sir name)who normally does golf commentary and the odd game of afl..........his knowledge of the game was embarrassingly inadequate,anyway ,i suppose you're a cats fan so all this would be irrelevant would't it............off to bed now ,up at 5 ,nighty nite.....:thumbsup:

I thought both Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke were graceful in defeat, as was Warney.

And yet the WCE players would beat the living shit out of the Perth Glory players.

Hmmm, okay? At least they dont wear singlet style tops, incredibly short shorts and feel the need to wrestle the other guy when the ball is up the other end of the pitch because theyre a bit bored. I'd say thats pretty gay...

I do like how whenever Australia lose at cricket, Tyrone comes out with the "Nobody in Australia likes cricket anyway, it's all about Aussie Rules" line. Happened last summer with the Ashes too, I seem to remember.

Well you've certainly destroyed any misconceptions that you support a wank minority sport that nobody outside australia gives a shit about and whose players wear shirts that are camper than a row of tents with that argument :thumbsup:

You know nothing about the sport so why talk shit like you do?

Your IQ really must be competing with your shoe size for superiority.


You talk about camp, then you follow Association Football where grown men dive about like girls when they get a little tap on the leg/ankle giving the impression someone has almost hacked their leg off.

I on the othe rhand enjoy both sports for the great spectacles they can be.

You on the other hand are a xenophobic cockhead.

To be fair, USA, Canada, Ireland and Australia all have their own football codes (minority sports).

However, Aussie Rules players look stupidest by far.

I dont mind if we lose at all. Good luck to the English if the beat us, that's what happens in sport.

You win some, you lose some.

All I repsond to is the utter rubbish some people type in regards to Australians and how it is out here.

And ive never said nobody likes it. All i've said is it's popularity in some areas of the game has declined. and that's an absolute fact backed up by ticket sales and tv ratings.


If Australia gets dumped out of the WC id most definately support England if they were still in it as would alot of people I know.

The problem for me is that it is a fundamentally rubbish sport requiring low skill levels. It makes rugby look skillful.

That's why it will never catch on outside of Orrrstraylya.
