I think fans are more tame in both codes these days, though we have some ferals in AFL, I'm a Collingwood supporter and you don't want to see some of our fans. Especially when we play Richmond, Geelong, Carlton or Essendon. They have some feral fans too those clubs. I know NRL fans can be pretty feral too, though I don't see too many feral fans since I've only been to one away game and one neutral game. At home (storm) games you aren't going to see opposition fans play up since they are outnumbered about 20:1. Though there was one instance where a Rabbits fans did want to fight me, for what reason I don't know, I was cheering because we beat them in golden point, he picked me out and was going to come up to me, another Rabbits fan (big Maori bloke) who was sitting behind me stuck up for me, so the other guy walked off. For context though, I had been talking to the Rabbits fans behind me all game, having a laugh, talking about the game and what not, we were getting along really well.
Most of my mates that grew up on playing rugby have swapped to watching Aussie rules, and most of my mates that grew up playing Aussie rules have swapped to horse racing

You mean your sons play Aussie rules. You call rugby league it’s CORRECT name but you call it AFL. Your sentence is literally “I’m a Queenslander and will always be rugby league first but I watch Australian football league regularly and sons actually play Australian football league. Both are great. EDIT: My sons play junior Australian football league”
I love both codes. Funnily enough, as a little kid both the NRL and the AFL helped me with my maths skills lol NRL taught me my 4 times tables and AFL taught me my 6 times tables haha
I'm an rugby league man but I respect both sports, they are totally different. My sons have played both codes and played AFL when their league season was stopped due to covid. I would love to see AFL played with an rugby league ball, sure hand balling wouldn't be possible but the bounce of the ball would certainly be interesting as AFL balls don't bounce very high. I believe people's preferences to each code is really down to what they have been brought up with.
@@Toastroony In NRL you might get hit harder, sure, but it's from one direction (except for certain circumstances), in AFL you are getting tackled from 360 degrees.
@@iancocks9408 That's your opinion mate, I have cousins who grew up playing NRL and being big supporters of NRL, they were from Nowra, then they wanted to try AFL and have swapped codes, they love AFL now. I love both, even though I'm Victoria. AFL is number 1 though because I grew up watching AFL.
AFL players are arguably fitter and more skilful than rugby league players. Let’s see a rugby player run while bouncing an oval shaped ball in front of him. If a rugby player catches the ball, they make a big deal about it. That’s a common skill in AFL, especially with the high marks. Some AFL players game distances are measured in kilometres, while rugby players are measured in metres.
There is one big difference between catching a ball between the codes afl if you catch the ball it’s a mark..in rugby league if you catch a ball you don’t get to stand there and not worry about getting tackled you have to catch the ball with the thought of someone is running at you and going to smash you in a tackle..in AFL they only grab in tackles between the shoulder and waist…
@@louiedavo6315 sorry mate but in the free flowing play of AFL, you have players coming from every angle with the likelihood of getting blindsided and folded. And as someone who grew up in rural NSW who has played both codes of footy, I will say without hesitation afl is the more brutal sport to play for that exact reason, keeping in mind players in the AFL are also running on average 16kms a game with the explosive speed and change in direction every second, no NRL player would survive. At least with League you know where and when you’re going to be hit. (Also in afl you’re allowed to shoulder charge and bump without grabbing in the tackle, so you’re wrong there)
A lot depends on where you grew up. I grew up in Melbourne in the 70’s & 80’s, so followed Australian rules because that’s what I was exposed to and it was a great game from the 70’s up until about 2010. Then with more tv coverage into Melbourne of rugby league, especially state of origin, I have grown to really like the game and actually prefer it to Aussie rules these days. The AFL have killed Aussie rules with too many crap rules and allowing players to interchange.
I grew up with AFL. Then when I was young I turned the channel over and realised rugby was a proper hard hitting game with better fans, commentators, and gameplay.
Well done. That's the world we need to live in. Unfortunately states like Vic and WA used to act like AFL is the only football code by only covering it on the news. Now days people can stream and choose what they like. I've got no problem if someone enjoys AFL, it's just not for me. NFL on the other hand really appeals to me
As a diehard Aussie Rules fan I sadly could not agree more. The AFL have absolutely killed the game, especially with the stupid and unnecessary rule changes. Even I cannot even watch it anymore, it is just painful to watch. I mean absolute fair play to Gil Mclachlan for getting the game and all 18 clubs through COVID, giving other cities the Grand Final, establishing the AFLW and leaving his legacy on growing girls and women’s footy, but backing Steve Hocking who kept fucking up the game with the new rule changes I’m not a fan of to the point where I can barely think of another sport that changes so many of its rules yearly than Australian Rules Football Hopefully with Andrew Dillon now at the helm and Gil and Steve gone, the game changes for the better, professionally and also at the grassroots. I hope this is the case (for local footy at least, getting participation rates back up) as Andrew has said that community footy is his priority
Had been a AFL follower for 40+ years never again it has been ruined by the constant rule changes and the lack of quality umpires there seems to be one set of rules for the top teams and another for the lower one plus the biggest thing it’s all about money TV rights you cannot even bounce the ball after a goal until the red light on the score board tells you the adds have finished on tv, If you what to see how a good game is run go to a Melb Storm game you have opposition supporters sitting with home team people and not a bad word is said between them the atmosphere throughout the game would leave the AFL for dead from the time you get to the ground the whole experience is far more organised more professionally run and everyone seems more down to earth a more family feeling that l believe the AFL has lost over the years. I’m still a member of a AFL club and like to see my team do well but have not been to a game for over 20 years and cannot even watch any game on tv due to what l have mentioned above, l never thought this would happen but after being to one Melbourne Storm game lm seriously thinking of fully converting and becoming a storm member next season the AFL should be worried because when you talk to these NRL fans in Victoria they also have turned away from AFL.
Couldn't of said it better, myself!! Not sure if you watch the Matty John's show,but tune into that show,if you haven't already. CH 502 Thursday and Sunday nights.
Funny thing is as a league supporter I read the first few lines and thought it's exactly the same problem in NRL as you've described in AFL. Both games could be improved upon, that's for sure no matter which one you support
As much as I love my Aussie Rules, it is definitely annoying and ridiculous that they keep tinkering with the rules every single year. The ‘stand’ rule with the man on the mark and the ‘dissent’ rule have both been some of the worst, if not the worst.
@@Grazbestclips NRL has 1.1 million followers on Instagram compared to the AFL's 950k. Although we know that AFL is the bigger of the sports it's not as one sided as you think, our tv numbers shit all over AFL
The NRL version of this videos has rugby league fans (half of them affected by alcohol) being far more offensive towards AFL than what the Melbourne Demons fans in this video were in regards to NRL !
It is too easy to be critical of AFL - it’s hilarious watching a group of players swarm into the same zone to the extent that catches, passes and kicks cant be executed - the very fabric of their game. It’s ugly chaos. And the mess that ensues on rainy days is even worse. But if people enjoy watching that, so be it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Yes, Craig, that's understandable. 50% of people MUST be below average intelligence, that's how averages work. AFL is one of the most structured games in the world, extremely data and coaching heavy, it is a fast paced 360 degree game, not everyone is going to understand it.
@J G yep, and your numbers are high because not everyone around the world is Australian. Soccer suits small, frail skinny weak people who are prone to fainting, and there's more of them than there are extremely fast, agile, durable, skilled, athletic but rock hard, 2m to 2.13 m tall AFL athletes. Soccer strollers aren't even in the same class as the slow, fat rugby dudes. It's funny. The very, very patient soccer people (face it, nothing happens and no-one scores) point out world numbers and the money involved, but not one, NOT ONE, soccer fan has ever said their sport is exciting. They can't. And you might want to check the growth rate of AFL, not just in Australia. There are two national men's, and now a national women's league in the US, it's played in 60 countries, adding 10 last year. In South Africa alone they added 60,000 young kids to the Auskick program last year.
OMG, imagine scratching around trying to find another country to play Aussie Rules against. Let's try our hand against Ireland who play Gaelic Football. Those matches are laughable in itself.
@@matthewmichaels5522 you have to be athletic to play AFL. Players run around in circles and run all day. However the game is complete chaos with little, if any, strategy involved. Kick the ball up high and if you're lucky, your team mate catches it and gets a free kick. It's a very simple and dull game
AFL is the highest attended sport per Capita in the world. NRL never get a crowd. No one even knows what Rugby League is apart from NSW and QLD. NRL is dieing. Such a bore to watch. Start,stop. Start stop.🖕🖕
You really didn’t do your research before posting your comment did you champ ? 🤔 State of Origin gets huge crowds as do most games involving the Broncos and Cowboys up in QLD. Crowds are smaller for regular NRL games in Sydney are not as big because Rugby League is better to watch on TV than at the ground (vice versa for AFL) and it is not worth driving across Sydney in traffic for a game that only lasts 80 minutes. The Newcastle, Illawarra and Canberra teams are not doing well which is why their crowds are lower. But junior player numbers are still growing in QLD, in Western Sydney and most of NSW. Not to mention Rugby League is the National religion of Papua New Guinea as well as still being popular to play and watch in New Zealand and the northern regions of England 🏴 where Rugby League was created.
@@thewilfer *All I'm hearing from you is excuse after excuse. AFL will always be Australia's game with huge crowds that only the NRL could dream of. You are talking out of your arse again because Sydney Swans always get huge crowds in Sydney so don't give me that piss poor excuse about a bit of traffic being the reason no one goes to NRL games.*
NRL : Two dimensional sport Very stop start Called football , but it’s hardly kicked Tackled from front side on only and at low speed ( albeit by a much heavier person ) Afl: The skill of marking the ball, Monster goals The endurance aspect And the hardness on the contest, Whilst the players look scrawny and weak it’s a by product of the fact that you need to cover so much ground over 2 hours of game time
@@dadbasher NRL PLAYERS = Fat, useless, can’t kick, out of breath, poor commentary, low scores, can’t pack out a stadium, biggest games of the year is state of origin (without it the games dead), bogans, 8 people to a match, sniffin ya mates or opponents bums, fingers in bums (classic one) you know it’s true, games a fiasco, bursts up to 10m, weak hand passes, kicking ugly helicopter looking balls in the air, yea most mentioned here are useful skills!

Because they don't have the skills and athleticism to play Aussie rules , it's a game you have to do 3 things at once, way to taxing for the brains of rugby players and soccer and gridiron players are soft as wet chips.
@@alzissa8271 believe it or not nsw adopted rugby partly as a way of “reminding themselves of their Britishness.” There’s lots of athleticism in Aussie rules that there isn’t in league. Spectacular marking. Ruckwork. Having to bounce the ball by running full speed. Lots of skill involved
Being a Queenslander i like NRL better. I have respect for AFL though re there kicking ability and the cardiovascular fitness required. Never been to a game but I can't watch it on TV. Too scrappy. NRL is more structured which i prefer. However cricket in my opinion is better than both and our true national sport. It's played professionally in all states.
@J G football (soccer) is the number one sport on earth because it hailed from England. Australian Rules Football (the game played on a big cricket oval with four posts at each end), despite being a great game, goes nowhere because it was created in Victoria. Iron clad guarantee that if football (soccer) was created in Victoria, it would still be struggling to find a foothold in NSW and Queensland, let alone anywhere else in the world. Additionally, if this football code played on a big cricket oval with four posts at either end was created in England or even the United States, it would be a major sport around the world. So, before we compare sports, which is for lobotomised people and is senseless anyway, it has nothing to do with whether one is better than the other, it's about the custodians of each sport, and the Australian game has the worst. A bunch of two or three year olds who've not learned how to share their toys, or completely devoid of ambition.
I'm a Victorian now on the sunshine coast even after about 40 years I still call NRL not real league the o ly reason they wear loose shorts is they all want another hopawarti☝️ AFL is real footy
Balls haven’t dropped in Victoria yet, it could be something to do with the cold weather. When you are faced with having to run front into a wall of men built like brick proverbials and you actually do it, you know they’ve finally dropped.
One of them is for fairies who run around punching a ball while trying to ‘tackle’ each other but too soft.. The other is for real men who like to actually have a crack, aka nrl🔥 💪

When you asked if you missed something ? I guess you did! GayRL is shit totally shit, boring
Well, before boasting about which of the two codes are international and which is only domestic (at the highest level), you need to know why. If the game played on a big cricket ground with four posts at either end was created by the English, and rugby league was created in Victoria, it would be rugby league stuck in this country alone and the football game played on a cricket ground that would be the major international game instead. Australian Rules Football is a truly good game that just happened to have been created by the smallest, narrowest minded people in all sport. They're like that German dude who locked his daughter up in his basement for years. The poor game needed better people.
Actually there is Australian football World Cup. Australia doesn’t compete because it would dominate. Australia competes in the league World Cup and since 175 has won all but one competition. That says a lot
Following NRL more because it hasn’t turned into a soft game like AFL. Still a silver member for my club and going every week but also going to NRL too. Up the storm.
AFL is faster, there’s more scoring and for a game where you handle the ball, you don’t POTENTIALLY have to wait up to 10-20 minutes (or dare I say longer) for a score. At least Soccer, for further comparison has that excuse.
@@davidmurphy2903 that isn't true :D !AFL actuallay has higher scoring games dispite being played on a field more than 15x the size of a basketball court :) ! that's way more impressive, so why don't you mind your own fucking business mate
@@hiimyou4432 the scores are higher because a goal is worth six points. Make a goal scored from inside the 50 worth two points and from outside the 50 worth 3 points (like basketball), and get rid of the behinds, and then see what the scores are. Furthermore, let's add up the actual scoring shots basketball vs AFL and see which has the higher quantity.
@@davidmurphy2903 Like i pointed out, maybe the fact that a basketball court is more than 15x smaller then a proper footy field has something to do with it. To match your little experiment, let's see how a team of Basketball player would do if each court was the size of an AFL field and EVERY score was 6 points. I'd love to see how that would work out.
I from Melbourne and I will say whole heartedly AFL is the worst sport to plague the minds of any man, woman or child and NRL is one of the best sport ever
Time moves on. Now it is RUGBY LEAGUE, followed by of all things Rugby Union. Soccer has died but those two AFL clubs are not seemingly mentuoned in the media

@@chrisr5499 Unfortunately for AFL, it in just mainly Australian. It does not have a team in Tassie. Changing demographics are going to put a lot of pressure on it.
It's not even a discussion. They are both totally different games..Mind you the only time Rugby gets an 80,000 crowd is when origin is played at the MCG, in AFL it's standard fare.
I prefer NRL because it’s a lot more tense I live for the last second breaks to finish off the great come from behind win, the desperate goal line defence. It just makes NRL a lot more exciting because the games are a lot closer because the teams aren’t racking up 100 points a game. It makes it more exciting and better when your team scores a try compared to one of 15 goals in a AFL game. AFL is a bit like basketball everyone goal is just pointless in the grand scheme of things.
@@mitchellsmith300 three afl games drew last year, afl is way more intense because the game can completely turn around in a matter of seconds because it can change sides so rapidly, with nrl it’s like cool I have to watch these guys run in this one direction for a bit while slowly counting down until maybe one player gets loose, which is very predictable and gets old very fast trust me I tried to watch, afl has very diverse gameplay one minute they could be moving as a unit to slowly move the ball towards their goal and the next minute a single player could break through the defence and run the entire length of the field you just never know what could happen and some amazing plays can be made with creative and skilled ball movement instead of running back and forth and maybe side stepping a few dudes
@@thomasbarkerr skilled ball movement 😅😅League has way more skill in passing and kicking you goose and tackling.I tried watch AFL and 2 minutes is as far as I got lol. Useless fumbling like kids in a Easter egg hunt pushing each other out of the way.The passing of the ball is so stupid ,tackling is a joke ,get a point for missing, some weirdo bouncing the ball 🤣whistle blowing every second is so so annoying lol why not just blow the dam thing when they DON'T catch the ball 😂 The game is a joke.
Well I'm an VFL/ AFL Tiger's fan growing up but started following NRL Belmain Tiger's in the late 80's. Unfortunately poor Belmain had to merge with the bloody western suburbs magpies in 1998 of all clubs so glad Melbourne storm came in because don't like magpies. At least the NRL hasn't softened up the league too much like the AFL has an all the rule changes .
I've been a fan of both games for decades but AFL has no hits which emasculates the game too much. They punish doing something positive like grabbing the ball and running with it, and why there can still be a score after missing a goal to one side or the other is something I still can't understand.
David Murphy you obviously don't have the brain capacity to understand. If you miss the goal to either side,left or right you get 1 point which is called a behind. If they didn't do this and had goals only, their would be way too many games that would end up in a draw. Is that so hard for ya pea brain to understand or what?...
NRL lives rent free in AFL fans heads. Kinda like how people in Melbourne love to talk about how bad Sydney is all the time. In Sydney, we don’t have time to talk about Melbourne. Too busy living our lives.
Too busy jerking ya self off over your shitty opera house and old harbour bridge. NRL can't even get a crowd at any games. Sydney Swans have more memberships than any NRL club and consistently have big crowds at all their games at the SCG. You got it wrong....AFL lives rent free in NRL fans heads.

Does it matter what those Southerners say about Rugby League. Let’s face it, Rugby League is played internationally between Countries but AFL is played suburbs in Melbourne like St Kilda plays Hawthorn or Collingwood plays Richmond. Big deal, two suburbs playing each other. Compared tp Australia playing Great Britain or New Zealand . Which has a real footprint as a sport and which is some local game invented to keep busy in the cricket offseason. Lol.
That very well may have been true in the past but over time the 2nd tier countries have closed that gap immensely, mostly due to the superstars from those countries are now starting to choose to play for pride of there nation instead of playing for money and Australia and honestly it's great to see.
ngl the afl fans are a lot nicer than the nrl fans
I think fans are more tame in both codes these days, though we have some ferals in AFL, I'm a Collingwood supporter and you don't want to see some of our fans. Especially when we play Richmond, Geelong, Carlton or Essendon. They have some feral fans too those clubs.
I know NRL fans can be pretty feral too, though I don't see too many feral fans since I've only been to one away game and one neutral game. At home (storm) games you aren't going to see opposition fans play up since they are outnumbered about 20:1.

Your sentence is literally “I’m a Queenslander and will always be rugby league first but I watch Australian football league regularly and sons actually play Australian football league. Both are great. EDIT: My sons play junior Australian football league”
@@sliat1981 Yeah but you know what I mean :D
@@exc3ss ok but never correct anyone who calls league rugby then 👍
I love both codes.
Funnily enough, as a little kid both the NRL and the AFL helped me with my maths skills lol
NRL taught me my 4 times tables and AFL taught me my 6 times tables haha
Me too bro
I'm an rugby league man but I respect both sports, they are totally different.
My sons have played both codes and played AFL when their league season was stopped due to covid.
I would love to see AFL played with an rugby league ball, sure hand balling wouldn't be possible but the bounce of the ball would certainly be interesting as AFL balls don't bounce very high.
I believe people's preferences to each code is really down to what they have been brought up with.
I’d struggle to see the differences
I feel like rugby is more basic and tackling rules are less soft then afl but tbh u just run down a small rectangle
Nope I don’t agree. Afl and nrl was popular where I was growing up. I watched both and found afl boring. Nrl I kept watching since 1981
@@Toastroony In NRL you might get hit harder, sure, but it's from one direction (except for certain circumstances), in AFL you are getting tackled from 360 degrees.
@@iancocks9408 That's your opinion mate, I have cousins who grew up playing NRL and being big supporters of NRL, they were from Nowra, then they wanted to try AFL and have swapped codes, they love AFL now. I love both, even though I'm Victoria. AFL is number 1 though because I grew up watching AFL.
rugby union man through and through but this was quite eye opening to watch. everyone loves a sport. 👍🏾
AFL players are arguably fitter and more skilful than rugby league players. Let’s see a rugby player run while bouncing an oval shaped ball in front of him. If a rugby player catches the ball, they make a big deal about it. That’s a common skill in AFL, especially with the high marks. Some AFL players game distances are measured in kilometres, while rugby players are measured in metres.
There is one big difference between catching a ball between the codes afl if you catch the ball it’s a mark..in rugby league if you catch a ball you don’t get to stand there and not worry about getting tackled you have to catch the ball with the thought of someone is running at you and going to smash you in a tackle..in AFL they only grab in tackles between the shoulder and waist…
@@louiedavo6315 sorry mate but in the free flowing play of AFL, you have players coming from every angle with the likelihood of getting blindsided and folded. And as someone who grew up in rural NSW who has played both codes of footy, I will say without hesitation afl is the more brutal sport to play for that exact reason, keeping in mind players in the AFL are also running on average 16kms a game with the explosive speed and change in direction every second, no NRL player would survive. At least with League you know where and when you’re going to be hit. (Also in afl you’re allowed to shoulder charge and bump without grabbing in the tackle, so you’re wrong there)
Let's see them run while bouncing a ball 😂😂😂😂 like that's hard.
That's funny my son switched from Rugby league to AFL after 11 years and got the competitions best and fairest award
You obviously haven't seen any of the acrobatic and athletic feats on display from some of the wingers in the nrl when they finish trys.
Worst thing about AFL is having to squat to pee
Front row in league mate. Also in forwards in football. I go to the front row to give my forwards a break and a few crunching hits.

Worst thing is league is sniffing bums
Worst thing about NRL is assaulting your partner
Troy Marshall worst thing about NRL is no one turns up to a game cause it's boring as batshit.💯🖕🖕
A lot depends on where you grew up. I grew up in Melbourne in the 70’s & 80’s, so followed Australian rules because that’s what I was exposed to and it was a great game from the 70’s up until about 2010. Then with more tv coverage into Melbourne of rugby league, especially state of origin, I have grown to really like the game and actually prefer it to Aussie rules these days. The AFL have killed Aussie rules with too many crap rules and allowing players to interchange.
I grew up with AFL. Then when I was young I turned the channel over and realised rugby was a proper hard hitting game with better fans, commentators, and gameplay.
Well done. That's the world we need to live in. Unfortunately states like Vic and WA used to act like AFL is the only football code by only covering it on the news. Now days people can stream and choose what they like. I've got no problem if someone enjoys AFL, it's just not for me. NFL on the other hand really appeals to me
I'm with you. Half the afl forwards can't kick properly at goal. No muddy grounds. Cliche interviews
@@jookieapc I love both AFL and NRL. I grew up on AFL so it'll always be number 1, but I've come to love NRL.
As a diehard Aussie Rules fan I sadly could not agree more. The AFL have absolutely killed the game, especially with the stupid and unnecessary rule changes. Even I cannot even watch it anymore, it is just painful to watch.
I mean absolute fair play to Gil Mclachlan for getting the game and all 18 clubs through COVID, giving other cities the Grand Final, establishing the AFLW and leaving his legacy on growing girls and women’s footy, but backing Steve Hocking who kept fucking up the game with the new rule changes I’m not a fan of to the point where I can barely think of another sport that changes so many of its rules yearly than Australian Rules Football
Hopefully with Andrew Dillon now at the helm and Gil and Steve gone, the game changes for the better, professionally and also at the grassroots. I hope this is the case (for local footy at least, getting participation rates back up) as Andrew has said that community footy is his priority
Had been a AFL follower for 40+ years never again it has been ruined by the constant rule changes and the lack of quality umpires there seems to be one set of rules for the top teams and another for the lower one plus the biggest thing it’s all about money TV rights you cannot even bounce the ball after a goal until the red light on the score board tells you the adds have finished on tv, If you what to see how a good game is run go to a Melb Storm game you have opposition supporters sitting with home team people and not a bad word is said between them the atmosphere throughout the game would leave the AFL for dead from the time you get to the ground the whole experience is far more organised more professionally run and everyone seems more down to earth a more family feeling that l believe the AFL has lost over the years. I’m still a member of a AFL club and like to see my team do well but have not been to a game for over 20 years and cannot even watch any game on tv due to what l have mentioned above, l never thought this would happen but after being to one Melbourne Storm game lm seriously thinking of fully converting and becoming a storm member next season the AFL should be worried because when you talk to these NRL fans in Victoria they also have turned away from AFL.
Couldn't of said it better, myself!! Not sure if you watch the Matty John's show,but tune into that show,if you haven't already. CH 502 Thursday and Sunday nights.
Funny thing is as a league supporter I read the first few lines and thought it's exactly the same problem in NRL as you've described in AFL.
Both games could be improved upon, that's for sure no matter which one you support
Yep pretty much the same story for league.
As much as I love my Aussie Rules, it is definitely annoying and ridiculous that they keep tinkering with the rules every single year. The ‘stand’ rule with the man on the mark and the ‘dissent’ rule have both been some of the worst, if not the worst.
Funny thing is lots of league have turned of Australian rules for the same reason
You should ask NRL fans what they think of AFL. Would be exactly the same response.
NRL sucks . fact .
Offended 😂
The 5 nrl fans won’t turn up to do it
@@Grazbestclips NRL has 1.1 million followers on Instagram compared to the AFL's 950k. Although we know that AFL is the bigger of the sports it's not as one sided as you think, our tv numbers shit all over AFL
The NRL version of this videos has rugby league fans (half of them affected by alcohol) being far more offensive towards AFL than what the Melbourne Demons fans in this video were in regards to NRL !
It is too easy to be critical of AFL - it’s hilarious watching a group of players swarm into the same zone to the extent that catches, passes and kicks cant be executed - the very fabric of their game. It’s ugly chaos. And the mess that ensues on rainy days is even worse. But if people enjoy watching that, so be it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
@J G you must be ripped if you think soccer will ever be bigger than AFL in Australia.
Yes, Craig, that's understandable. 50% of people MUST be below average intelligence, that's how averages work. AFL is one of the most structured games in the world, extremely data and coaching heavy, it is a fast paced 360 degree game, not everyone is going to understand it.
@J G yep, and your numbers are high because not everyone around the world is Australian.
Soccer suits small, frail skinny weak people who are prone to fainting, and there's more of them than there are extremely fast, agile, durable, skilled, athletic but rock hard, 2m to 2.13 m tall AFL athletes. Soccer strollers aren't even in the same class as the slow, fat rugby dudes. It's funny. The very, very patient soccer people (face it, nothing happens and no-one scores) point out world numbers and the money involved, but not one, NOT ONE, soccer fan has ever said their sport is exciting. They can't. And you might want to check the growth rate of AFL, not just in Australia. There are two national men's, and now a national women's league in the US, it's played in 60 countries, adding 10 last year. In South Africa alone they added 60,000 young kids to the Auskick program last year.

You really didn’t do your research before posting your comment did you champ ? 🤔
State of Origin gets huge crowds as do most games involving the Broncos and Cowboys up in QLD.
Crowds are smaller for regular NRL games in Sydney are not as big because Rugby League is better to watch on TV than at the ground (vice versa for AFL) and it is not worth driving across Sydney in traffic for a game that only lasts 80 minutes. The Newcastle, Illawarra and Canberra teams are not doing well which is why their crowds are lower.
But junior player numbers are still growing in QLD, in Western Sydney and most of NSW. Not to mention Rugby League is the National religion of Papua New Guinea as well as still being popular to play and watch in New Zealand and the northern regions of England 🏴 where Rugby League was created.
@@thewilfer *All I'm hearing from you is excuse after excuse. AFL will always be Australia's game with huge crowds that only the NRL could dream of.

@J G football (soccer) is the number one sport on earth because it hailed from England. Australian Rules Football (the game played on a big cricket oval with four posts at each end), despite being a great game, goes nowhere because it was created in Victoria. Iron clad guarantee that if football (soccer) was created in Victoria, it would still be struggling to find a foothold in NSW and Queensland, let alone anywhere else in the world. Additionally, if this football code played on a big cricket oval with four posts at either end was created in England or even the United States, it would be a major sport around the world. So, before we compare sports, which is for lobotomised people and is senseless anyway, it has nothing to do with whether one is better than the other, it's about the custodians of each sport, and the Australian game has the worst. A bunch of two or three year olds who've not learned how to share their toys, or completely devoid of ambition.

Afl is in competition with in Australia only nrl is worldwide good to see other countrys sharing the rugby league world cup when it happens
Well, before boasting about which of the two codes are international and which is only domestic (at the highest level), you need to know why. If the game played on a big cricket ground with four posts at either end was created by the English, and rugby league was created in Victoria, it would be rugby league stuck in this country alone and the football game played on a cricket ground that would be the major international game instead. Australian Rules Football is a truly good game that just happened to have been created by the smallest, narrowest minded people in all sport. They're like that German dude who locked his daughter up in his basement for years. The poor game needed better people.
It’s never the main sport. It plays second/third/fourth fiddle most of the time.
Actually there is Australian football World Cup. Australia doesn’t compete because it would dominate. Australia competes in the league World Cup and since 175 has won all but one competition. That says a lot

AFL is faster, there’s more scoring and for a game where you handle the ball, you don’t POTENTIALLY have to wait up to 10-20 minutes (or dare I say longer) for a score. At least Soccer, for further comparison has that excuse.

I've been a fan of both games for decades but AFL has no hits which emasculates the game too much. They punish doing something positive like grabbing the ball and running with it, and why there can still be a score after missing a goal to one side or the other is something I still can't understand.
Perhaps just stick to rugby, it is a simpler game.

I love afl way more than rugby but at the end of the day football is better

yep that’s how shitty ur sport is
Those Victorians are a bit slow
Those Victorians are a bit slow
@@mootheconqueror1965 no, because they couldn’t give less of a single shit about your “sport” it’s not even a sport compared to the afl, it’s two lines of big men bashing into each other with little scoring or action, and NO skill is needed ya flog
Who gives a fuck about him
And who was the last world champion of AFL?
and when was NRL the national game?
@@jude0006 More international than aerial ping pong. Up north they call AFL kick and giggle.
@@jude0006 no one cares about AFL expect for Victoria
@@clonecommanderbly7408 SA, WA, tassie, NT and victoria all prefer AFL over NRL. ACT doesn’t count, so basically all you have is the dodgy drunk flogs on QLD and even NSW is becoming an AFL state 💀
@@jude0006 No one in NT watchs AFL mate, it's all league up there
Good one Melbourne.
Does afl have a WORLD cup?
aussie sport so it’s the national game, you play a sport from england. nrl is played in like two states
AFL is like playing hot potato. NRL and rugby are the scariest games on the planet. You needs balls to know you are about to run front on at a wall of men who are wanting to inflict pain on you.
@@Will-nb8qk Rugby is just a bunch of big men running with a ball chucking it around and jumping on the ground, there’s no skill involved. AFL you need to learn how to kick properly, handball properly, kick the ball to a teammate in space and then can convert. Tough kicks for goal, marking the ball in packs all require skill. NRL is for this people that can’t play AFL
@@Will-nb8qk and AFl is just like that, big men who want to tackle you, you need balls to take them on, but champ an NRL player isn’t nearly as athletic and skilled as an AFL player, NRL is ez ya NSW or QLD flog
@@jude0006 : Nahhh, AFL is a kick and giggle game. Nothing manly about the game. You tackle from behind and squabble like school girls pulling hair and all that stuff.
My Mrs got free tickets to AFL and when the teams ran out she thought it was u/16s. Serious.
That makes no sense. Are you trying to say afl players are small because that's bullshit. Or is it because they weren't neckless meat heads.
Very selective comments, the Storm have converted a lot of of footy fans into liking both codes , AFL will always rule in Melbourne just as the NRL does in Sydney , State of Origin probably holds more interest to AFL fans than does the regular NRL season
Does it really? I'm from Melbourne myself and have never heard anyone talk of NRL State of Origin.
I want to start a civil war against AFL fans!!! NRL is sensational ❤️!
you have problems then
AFL is like the childrens version of combat sport. It’s a bit of kick and giggle type stuff.
@@Will-nb8qk Well NRL is even more like that considering you THROW a ball, you don’t even kick it 🤣
@@jude0006: When your balls drop come over and join the NRL! 👍
Funniest thing I’ve ever seen hahaha
NRL fans: hurr durr our code is superior hurr durr
AFL fans: what the hell is NRL?
AFL is just seagull and the chip. NRL has clear structure and is much more explosive and hard hitting than AFL
Bumsniffing rules
Does AFL have test matches? ENUFF said
What? An why? Who wants a test match? Leave it to cricket champ
When was the last rugby league test match?
I'll give NRL this, the players are pretty good sports
I don't like watching sport but out of every sport in the world, Aussie rules is the most entertaining
Gayfl sucks
You're easily pleased 😀
@@OZIPUG1970 ok
Now come and ask me what I think about AFL lol
@@Littlefella73 No one cares what he thinks... he's just another wannabe nobody nrl supporter with an IQ of sub 50.😆😆
Im a massive nrl fan and forever will be, but AFL is also a pretty entertaining game, But In saying that, it just won’t ever come close to origin
Origin far more superior
Origin means nothing and is stupid. Winning premierships is what it's all about.💯
@@victorpeirce4753 I'm a League fan but didn't we pinch it of VFL ?
League fan here.
Afl is OK.
See...
I'm gay friendly.
😛
wow not one person said “union is better”.
union is the best rugby. true rugby. but i’m victorian so footy is always above both rugby. however cricket is no.1 🏏
Love how its mostly dees fans!!! Lets gooo!!!
I like both but AFL is far better
Best Sports In Australia:
1. AFL
2. Cricket
3. Rugby
4. Tennis
5. Idk Swimming?
1. RUGBY LEAGUE 2. CRICKET 3. AFL
Rugby at 3 lol rugby is dead in australia mate
@@brianp5344 yeah I like Rugby it’s just that AFL and Cricket are my favourite sports but Rugby is probably third

@@brianp5344 rugby league

Afl is the only sport where you get a point for trying. It's also better for the parents, because parents will only ever have to buy one pair of shorts, from under 10s to men's comp, 1 pair of shorts. NRL is for grown ups afl is for kids
the guy in the hawthron gear at the start is my teacher lol
Yooo that’s my teacher too no fkn way
Haha sums up Melbourne. You have a team that has success most teams haven't had yet you won't support the nrl.
I know many storm fans, 30k members don’t lie.
@@caleb4369 The problem is Melbourne Storm fans never experience defeat an important part of making the victories great or at least that’s what I’m telling myself because I’m a bulldogs fan
@@mitchellsmith300 that is simply not true
@@caleb4369 Wdym that is not true they always win
We’re tired of storm always winning the premiership. It’s boring being successful
Afl is what you get when you take all the boring aspects of nrl and combine them to make a sport.
What you on about mate afl didn’t copy nrl nrl was literally founded 100 years after afl
@@Grazbestclips I meant rugby league
NRL players are silly nannies.
NRL is a bit rough for the VIC softies.
Exactly right mate
Nah we just don’t like gay stuff like sniffing bums
As a QLDER, I have maroon blood. I relocated to Perth which is AFL dominant.AFL needs a state of origin to get an NRL fan interested and vice versa, I tell AFL fans to watch state of origin to appreciate NRL. Goooo queensland. I can’t wait for game 2 in Perth.
Up the blues
State of Origin was an AFL concept in that started in the late 70’s, the NRL copied it soon after
@@garyi654 AFL got rid of State of Origin because its stupid and means nothing. It's all about winning premierships for your club in AFL. No point getting your star players injured in a meaningless game of State of Origin. Rugby League supporters think it actually means something.😆😆 Don't know why it's called NRL because it's only popular in QLD and NSW. AFL is Australia's real sport that is played and loved in every state.
@@victorpeirce4753 yep correct you might hurt some nrl fan feeling reading that tho lol
Sorry the NRL aren’t expanding. Apart from storm and nz, all teams are in the league bubble and the next one coming in will be from qld.
Sorry there isn’t enough interest
Rugby league and union any day
Its all about the bum in rugby league 👍 on the field and in the showers after each game🇦🇺
Which sport you like better gayrl?
@@Zaiden. nrgayl
No mate , Aussie rules fans hate women , just ask Tayla Harris , and they hate her because she's gay , but she has more courage than anyone in your game.
The nrl fans will blow this out of the water give us a go 😂😂😂
I completely agree with that vid
32 seconds in the nrl would think the same as afk
This is the most true thing ever (this is the worst thing of my life why are they doing this) thats fax
NRL is better in every possible way you can imagine. It’s structured better, the player’s are more skilled in Nrl, it’s definitely tougher then Afl. It’s played in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, American, Asia and Africa. AFL is only played in Australia. You do the math!! AFL is a messy game, all you do is catch and kick to your teammates on offside position, it’s not that interesting watch 🤨 even soccer has more structure and skills then AFL.
More skilled in NRL? 😂😂😂😂. All you do in NRL is run into tackles that doesn’t require any skill at all. Passing isn’t that hard either. What other skills do they even have.
I mean AFL is actually played in other countries too
I stopped reading after you said "more skilled"...
Jeremy Pollard you are a goose with no idea. Even Israel Folau and Karmicheal Hunt admitted that AFL was a harder,tougher,more skills needed sport to play. They both couldn't handle how tough AFL is so went back to nrl.
You follow a two dimensional sport well done pal, those big hits only seem big because the blokes are colliding from 10m distances and weigh 110kg
SULLY
Sully
NRL IS THE BEST, AFL IS A MESSY GAME WITH NO RULES
Nah mate fuck rules u pussy
Basketball better than all but I still like rugby
There’s a reason the AFL shits on on the nrl in literally every single marketing, viewership and crowd aspects, just nowhere near as good of a sport as Aussie rules lol cry
Why can’t we just like both sports? I’m a diehard AFL fan in Newcastle and I like the Knights. Why can’t we learn to appreciate both sports?
@@6ix9inesdaddy59 there’s a reason AFL will never ever go outside of this country. Any foreigner sees this and just things it looks like a shit version of school yard footy. American sees AFL. Oh is this rugby?
Fumbleball fans, the ones happy to give you a point for not being good enough. Strange game and stranger fans.
Does it matter what those Southerners say about Rugby League. Let’s face it, Rugby League is played internationally between Countries but AFL is played suburbs in Melbourne like St Kilda plays Hawthorn or Collingwood plays Richmond. Big deal, two suburbs playing each other. Compared tp Australia playing Great Britain or New Zealand . Which has a real footprint as a sport and which is some local game invented to keep busy in the cricket offseason. Lol.
Who gives a flying f&$k what they think they give teams points for missing …what sport does that?
Worst thing about AFL is breaking a nail.
I love the world cup argument that Rugby trolls like to use, lol yeh 4 decent teams and half a dozen tomato cans...scintillating stuff 👍
That very well may have been true in the past but over time the 2nd tier countries have closed that gap immensely, mostly due to the superstars from those countries are now starting to choose to play for pride of there nation instead of playing for money and Australia and honestly it's great to see.
They’re different..Both good games though
Yeah the only thing similar is the shape of the ball and the rules changing every 3 seconds
'Aussie fools' or 'Aussie no rules,' take your pick. What a waste of real estate!
I love both equally!
No one goes to NRL games. Says it all
AFL fans will always have the glen waverly video
0:00 the first one is my school teacher
Bring back the biff.
Get rid of the refs were favouring the team I do t support excuse
