Message: [QUOTE="Renegade, post: 3677597, member: 1928"] Your point on GF viewership whichever way you lean was valid, however. Mate, this is pretty wishful thinking. I know of the oldies in your list because I am a general fan of sport and that was through their golden era - some of them have maintained some sort of media presence or involvement in the game so their name gets floated from time to time. For your modern players, I don't know Andrews or Heeney and I'd be hard pressed to remember Rayner and Ashcroft on the spot, and I actually watched the grand final and loosely follow the lions. For the average public, you are absolutely kidding yourself. You could walk down Queen Street and ask 20 people if they knew of any of the 6 modern era guys listed, you'd be lucky to get 5 people who knows any of those guys. Maybe because AFL doesn't have the profile NRL has here, or maybe people just don't care. Either way, the support here while good, isn't anywhere near what you might think it is. PS I think the code wars stuff is stupid anyway, I have no vested interest in the NRL getting over the AFL or whatever else. It's OK to like more than one sport as you and a lot of others do on here. Those that are hellbent on that stuff are just weirdly insecure about their code. [/QUOTE]
