having a chat with an All Blacks fan the other night at the test match between NZ & Eng in Dunedin(fark it’s cold there)…don’t even ask me why I went to a rugby game…just seem to find myself there sinking piss in a VIP box barracking for the Poms…talking Aussie Rules, these Kiwis reckon Aussie Rules is not as fast, exciting and skillful compared to rugby!! :ohmy: …I choked on my beer and nearly died at hearing this….AND then this fella said the only Aussie rules game he went too… was back in 86 when he lived in Perth…the 1986 GF…faaaaarrrrk I choked even some more!!.. that game still gives me nightmares!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I don’t watch much Union, but League I watch a fair bit of, and say it is mostly pretty fast when there is someone on the run.
Watching an EF game would turn you off and over to rugby freeze!! 
In all seriousness tho there is no comparison between the 2 sports- footy then daylight!
The only problem BH is that with the way the rules are interpreted in Aussie Rules it is becoming more and more like a poor man’s rugby game without the quality rugby players and officials.

mate…at least he saw the best of the best…the mighty Lions winning the last truly legitimate WAFL GF before the weagles phucked everything up… 
You could make a strong case that the sport of Aussie Rule football is no longer even played.
Been replaced by a sport called AFL
Great post GWS 
Love it.. AFL is so sanitized now it is just like watching a Soapie and who watches them. It all appears scripted even though the results dont always reflect that. WAFL games this year have been a pleasure to watch (well sometimes ) You are on top of the game and dont have to fight the guy either side for a share of your seat either. But thats only my opinion.
I don’t think I have heard anyone say they play NRL.. They play League or Union, but not NRL…
How the AFL marketing machine has (nearly) everyone fooled.
I agree MikeXU1 it is patent nonsense. Using the AFL logic here are a myriad of sports:
La Liga, Serie A, EPL, J League, WAFL, SANFL etc etc etc
Rugby…isn’t that the game where you get 3 men trying to push 2 men up 1 man’s bum??? :woohoo: :woohoo:
