Afl

[The Dunster]

Fair enough, but as a (former) Jets fan, I thought there might be some opinions at least. I simply can't see a future for the Jets. As a fan, I've been beating my head against a brick wall for the last 9 seasons. Then it dawned on me. The one thing that I've mocked rugby league and AFL for, the fact that it is not played in many countries, is actually an advantage. They can train a player knowing full well that he can't up an leave for more money overseas. They don't have to worry about a Andrew Hoole making unrealistic demands with threats to go to China. A global marketplace is actually a major disadvantage for a sport.

The promise of transfer fees in the A-League was just a pipe-dream.

I always thought that the A-League was the best alternative to thugby league culture, but now it seems like AFL might be the only way forward for our city.

You are 40 years too late for AFL. The game is structured within an inch of its life these days to the point whereby it's just dead ****ing boring to watch.
And players can up and leave AFL and they do to become NFL punters. Sure not a lot of opportunities but they do exist - and it's lucrative for those that make the grade.
AFL Players can also make decent Corner Backs as well and if they happen to have a little speed it's also possible they can become receivers [though unlikely given the speed requirements]

And the players these days are shit - no personality and boring as bat shit.
