Is soccer a growing threat or is it just flavour of the month?

It's flavour of the month FF...$$$$ is the issue,Football/soccer clubs ( no pokies etc) arn't enough to support from the grass roots like nrl/aru/afl have.
Lowy and admin need to get this resolved then this will help keep players which before would leave the game for others as mentioned. This will build the local National comp well as well as overseas players added as draw cards. Since making the cup this can slowly happen now,I have waited 20+yrs for this and I'm finally seeing the foundations being built ! Watch off/on the other codes but not much.

Rugby league, i acnt stand the way soccer players hug and climb all over one another when a goal is scored. Its like they have just discovered a cure for the flu.And the way the guy who scores the goal he has to quickly take his shirt off and run 400 metres before all of his team mates mob him.

AFL then Aussie Rules then Aerial ping pong. Soccer is played by heaps of little kids 6-10 and then they seem to switch to another code! Probably don't like running around like a headless chook for 90 mins and STILL being no score.
C'arn the Crows!!!! |

Real Football for me. People seem to quickly forget that That there are more people registered in Australia playing soccer than any other football code. At least it is played everywhere else in the world AFL will never be played around the world like soccer and will slowly die off around AUS if the soccer continues to grow the way it has.
Must say it has been a long time coming. A lot of the credit has to go to Lowy And O'neil for the raqpid transformation of the game and not just Hiddink i think.

EDIT: AFL does have overseas leagues, although they aren't huge, oh and also, they aren't made up of solely expats. |

Aussie rules and English football.
I just dont understand the Rugby's and find them boring. First sport I ever played was soccer. Port Power and Man United
