I do remember when the Lions won three premierships in a row and people were saying the AFL were set to overtake the NRL in Queensland.
More and more people in Queensland are following the AFL but are they going to stick around once they realise the league is very Geelong centric? Once Geelong poach Harley Reid and Aaron Cadman it's going to turn people away from the sport.
Now I know you;re trolling because anyone who knows anything about football there is draft equalisation measures.
Some AFL teams have had good runs including the Lions.
If you asked any AFL fan they probably say that the AFL is collingwood-centric if anything.
If anything, by your logic, aren't people put off by the Broncos and Storm ?

Broncos haven't won a thing in nearly two decades while the Storm are based in an area where rugby league is seen as a niche sport.
Geelong don't seem to be affected by the draft and salary cap, they poach players after they've been in the system for a few years at a cheap price in terms of draft picks and they seem to have a clever way at managing their salary cap, similar to how the Storm managed theirs in the 2000s.
Reddie as they see them self:
Reddie as everyone else sees them:
Now, do I have your permission to post something like that ?

The AFL has become too Geelong centric. Anyone who believes otherwise hasn't been paying attention.We can all welcome our newest troll to Bigfooty.

Not sure who to believe with different views from different posters in Queensland.
The user who was downplaying the growth of Aussie rules in Queensland and brought up "real life experiences" as evidence also created their account yesterday and is already suspended. That's probably a pretty good indication of their credibility.
Yes, because I've been ......
so i don't do anything without a precedent and even then it's........
I could say much much more but then........
I don't know why why people bother.
Ancedotal stories usually prove nothing other than people move within their own circles.
I don't know why why people bother period.
Has anyone's view changed after having "discussion" on BF ?
I post a lot, so why do I post ?
Well, basically it's amusement.
IMO trying to justify spending $650 million of taxpayers money on NRL PNG is ridiculous if not deeply saddening and worrying for the future of Australian democracy.
IMO trying to justify spending $500 million of taxpayers money on NRL Perth is ridiculous if not deeply saddening and worrying for West Australian politics.
IMO bidding and gaining the Olympics and then not doing it properly is ridiculous and embarrassing for Queensland and Australian tourism.
Put the emotion aside and look at the figures.
Peter Dutton, arguably the most disliked politician in Australian history has a much higher approval rating than Albanesse..
Peter Cook, living in the Australian state of iron ore and honey is also at the bottom of the barrel.
Australians aren't stupid like some BF posters here. They see that the "logic" and figures don't add up.
But I have learned something and that is that PNG is going to be long term problematical to the NRL
for the same reason why people say that AFL NT is unviable in the long run without continued injections of money.
One has to ask "so why is the NRL doing this" ?
All I see is three men's egos. that's all.
