Nice, although isn't 60 Minutes owned by PBL? Could be a bit fishy...

its a typical afl pro story, league is doomed etc.... they wont say that league has more juniors, also taking afl into private schools hahaha aru wont let that happen
I hope is an impartial and unbiased story.
60 mins is a Sydney based show, and on a network devoted to broadcasting RL since how long now.
No doubt it will be broadcast from the Sydney point of view then.

I'm guessing the Titans coach will get his head on. Always good for hysterical quote, that feller.
"I fully support an AFL code, I have always said it would be great for the Gold Coast Community. But they are the devil's spawn yes should fear, for naught but the most squalid abborations shalt escape the cursed vacuum of the nine hells should it ever actually come here. Lock up your babies just in case."
Politics 101 from Yes Minister. In order to destroy something, you must first appear to support it. Otherwise, you appear as if you fear it. After all, you must get behind something, before you can stab it in the back.

60 minutes has never had an impartial and unbiased story in it's history.
This is a story that looks like it's been bought and paid for by the AFL.

If they bring up regional TV ratings then I guess we can assume they did their research on a website not a million miles away ...
mate, its 60 minutes
even if it wasnt on the league network, they havent been impartial and unbiased since day dot
oh nOeS!!! We arE stEaLinG tHe kIdS fRoM rUgbY lEaGue!!! NooooOOOooO!!!!11!!!!1!!
Well, now that its all over....it seemed to be an unbiased piece, with all sides getting a say. I loved Andrew Demetriou's comment when Peter Overton asked him if they would not stop until they became number one, to which Andrew replied "I think we already are"(!!!!)

Also, the last line was significant from the footy mum...."the game is Australian as vegemite"
If that is the case, then Peter Overton, you should be embarrased as it looked like you have never held a football before when you were playing kick to kick with Jack and Roberts-Thompson. What a w***er!

That mother threw in a ripper line at the end there-
"Aussie rules is as Australian as Vegemite and our kids should be growing up on it".
Billy Brownless had some good ones too at a Storm game-
"RL is 12 Gorillas on this side and 12 Gorillas on the other side and they just run into each other"
"Aussie rules is Intelligent and Exciting"
"We've been here 25 minutes and it's 0-0 all, it's a bit like soccer"
Keiran Jack on Aussie Rules-
"It's Free flowing and exciting"
Andrew Demetriou-
"Last time I checked we were #1"

Rare Gold from Vlad.
Yeah, I suppose so.
He answered the wrong question.
Why "significant"?
AFL is a game invented in Victoria, Australia and deserves its Australian-made label. However, my view on this issue is not with the fact of AFL being Australian-made, but rather the view that this somehow gives AFL a competitive advantage over the un-Australian RL. This view is nonsense.
The reality is that RL is the traditional brand of football for NSW and QLD, whereas Aussie Rules is effectively an imported brand from a foreign jurisdiction, namely Victoria.
The further reality is that AFL national expansion is succeeding where NRL national expansion is back in the too hard basket.
Kicking red sherrins front-on remains something new and un-natural for the people of NSW and QLD. It's a novelty. Kicking grubbers into the in-goal, putting up bombs for yoiur chasers, and finding touch comes naturally.
Of course you would.

There is also a thread on LU ( Rugby League forum ) discussing the same thing, EG the report on 60 minutes regarding AFL vs NRL.
When Billy Brownless described the game as a bunch of gorillas on one side and a bunch of gorillas on the other side and a banana in the middle...he wasnt far from the truth.
Us all have been very calm and unmoved discussing the report on this thread
But the reaction, the abuse and sh1t that the RL posters on their Rugby League forum have posted has proven that not only do they play like gorillas but they have the same mentality
Amusing stuff, great for a laugh
For all those RL trolls that complain about Aussie Rule posters have a read of the filth from your own kind...

i love all the language the sydney media use,
AFL is 'stealing' the kids
AFL is committing 'war'
If a kid in Melbourne started playing league we dont hear about 'oh no they are stealing our kids it was etc...'
the kids are not owned by anyone, AFL/ Football/ League/ Tennis etc.. are all sport options kids should have access to, and make there own choice of which ones they want to play. end of, stop having a cry you w***ers.

Cheers for the link Ares, haven't had a read of LU for weeks. Still pretty much the same blend of bigotry, homophobia, paranoia, and sheer terror that it was last time I had a look.
Those guys really need to get out more. They must all sit at home shaking, repeating to themselves 'NRL is number 1, NRL is number 1'.

as much as you want to talk around it and mitigate against it LD, aussie rules is australian made, and rugby league was invented in england.
to us, that is important, and something to be proud of.
and as much as you may think it nonsense, selling australian made products to australians is generally easier, and that might end up as some sort of comparative advantage over english sports

While I am all for AFL expansion and eventual domination...methinks that if the NRL were invading our territory (I mean proper invading...not the News Limited Storm), then we would be acting like gorillas too...
