Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 3677337, member: 8814"] Its not about underestimating anyone, its about the afl over estimating itself eg gws. And jamming it down our throats. Memberships are only part of the picture, a very very poor representation of what the population watches and buys into. I lived in Western sydney, I now live in Brisbane again. Most of those members are probably from the same family (eg signing up their babies and dogs which afl has been PROVEN to do), ex victorians, children of Victorians or people living in Victoria. Have you been to the gold coast lately? I can assure, league is stronger there than it is in most other areas. Half the populatio has links to sydney teams given the large migration from nsw. It is NOT taking over. The Suns are in as much trouble as gws. The arrogance is actually extraordinary. Storm have good membership numbers and get good tv ratings and crowds, you ever heard an nrl person suggest it's taking over afl in Victoria. NO. It's just bloody boring hearing the same fairyland stuff brought up. Nrl is 110 years ahead of the afl in qld and nsw. 3 premierships and it didn't take over at a time when the nrl was bumbling its way around from an administration point of view. As much as I also hate vlandys, he at least won't stand back and be passive. The VAST majority in qld and nsw could not name 5 afl players. You surely cannot deny that. [/QUOTE]
