Message: [QUOTE="dukey, post: 2148049, member: 2046"] You are right about AFL being a religion for people in Melbourne, but the best part about that is, when Collingwood/Carlton/Essendon/Demons aren't winning, a lot of people don't have a second team. So if their AFL side is struggling, many jump on the Storm bandwagon. Victorians get excited over most sporting codes, and there is a lot of room for RL to grow in Mexico, but never to the AFL's size. Other sports only cop batterings if they try to take AFL's 'greatest game in the world' tag its fans give it. The biggest problem RL faces is a lack of exposure. Despite their dominance the Storm rarely warrant more than a quarter of a page in the Herald Sun sports section, and hardly a whisper on the TV. The amount of support for the Storm is surprising, actually. I get down into (country) Victoria fairly regularly and I see more people wearing Storm jerseys/jackets/hats than all the AFL sides put together. So it's not as if the game goes unnoticed down there.
