Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3677342, member: 8423"] I surely can deny that. You don't think many people in Qld / NSW right now don't know who Lachie Neale, Joe Daniher, Cam Rayner, Will Ashcroft, Harris Andrews and Isaac Heeney are? Turn it up. I bet most of them even know who Jonathon Brown, Simon Black, Micheal Voss and Jason Akermanis are too and they've been retired 20 years. Your entire argument is based on the premise that your outdated view is the same as everyone else's it isn't, your entire retort about GWS memberships being all one family and dogs, etc highlights that. Again, look at the facts, not the oh 110 years of history, everything will be fine argument. Participation at grassroots level in league heartland is overwhelmingly in favour of the AFL now. Consider two finals: GWS v Lions - two teams in league heartland outperformed Cowboys v Knights - two teams in league exclusive heartland by almost 200000 despite being on the same day. The NRL GF viewership was released an hour ago - 3.420 million. The AFL GF featuring two teams from league heartland? - 4.024 million. So yeah, the NRL can continue to bury its head, it is what it does best, doesn't change the fact the AFL is taking over swathes of its heartland. When I was a kid, I would have laughed at anyone saying the Wallabies will work their way into irrelevance...look at them now. That change didn't just happen over night, it was on the back of some seriously bad decisions piling on top of each other...sound familiar? [/QUOTE]
