    "Can you smell the fear?", do the other football codes in Australia (AFL,NRL), genuinely fear football?

    What can I say, I'm a sucker for the little people. AFL is a tiny sport beloved by a city at the arse end of the world, maybe gave the Greeks in Melbourne something to follow during the World Cup.

    Unlike you I have no ill malice of other sports, they are sports, my issue with AFL is with its administration bullying other sports and their media and fans ramming down our throats about its greatness, yes it's great in Melbourne, but it's a niche sport in Sydney despite its money and media.

    Yes I agree 100%, the domestic football is plaqued by agendas, poor administration, victim mentality for the 50 years I have followed this game locally. I'm talking football in general, not the top tier of football in this country.

    He gets offended easily, he has a bit Trumpism about him, he can criticize all he likes, but you dare say something about his team, wow all he'll breaks out.

    Yes and you speak to kids who.wear Messi shirts but dislike Ronaldo, or a Arsenal shirt who dislikes Chelsea. Maybe fashionable but they know football

    You bag out NRL because its a Sydney game,some plastic rivalry.

    No, not really, I follow the biggest and best sport in the world, I follow the Socceroos, Matildas, Sydney FC, Derby County, Portugal, Porto, the PL, LA Liga and all the Aussies playing O/S. Leaves little time for other sports, but I enjoy Rugby Union, swimming, cycling and fleeting Rugby...

    Spoken like a person from Southern states. The game of football has grown massively in the last 30 years, if you can't see that, that is your fault The recent WC was massive, never seen interest that big, the Matildas are also massive, the Asian cup and Olympics are also followed The O/S...

    For some people who live in Melbourne, they think the whole world is obsessed with AFL.

    I believe that football is bigger than AFL in Sydney and easily so. In pubs. Cafes, work offices i hear more talk of their football teams playing on weekend, the O/S teams, the Socceroos. The Matildas then any talk of Swans or AFL. Yes NRL is king in Sydney but football, not A- League is also...

    Yeah when their AFL national team plays it really unites the country unlike the Socceroos and the Matildas. The last AFL world cup kept me up to all hours, i lost so much sleep. Football just can't compete with AFL internationally. I can tell you most sport fans who's main sport is AFL watched...

    Wanted to visit Liverpool but we didnt leave south east. Saw Chelsea play and Cole Palmer, what a player, heavily marked, but how he found space and his skills are just next level.
