Jun 26, 2017 its weird in Australia, like AFL is meant to be played in summer, and Football (soccer) is generally a winter sport, but like you have AFL in rain (which is s---) and Football (soccer) in summer (which is also s---)
Jun 26, 2017 Its not meant to be played in summer. It was originally invented as a sport to keep the cricketers fit during winter. Also the reason we have soccer in the summer here is cos it clearly can't compete with afl every week. Their crowds would be f-----
Jun 26, 2017 Some players run like 30km a game if it was in summer they'd collapse. They have shortened quarters when its too hot
Jun 26, 2017 Every winter sport would prefer pristine conditions but rain is part of it. No sport is designed to be played in rain
Jun 26, 2017 And obviously its not meant to be played in rain. No sport is. Imagine relying on rain to play a game or not
Jun 26, 2017 Whatever the head football organization of the world is fifa or whatever for soccer hate that we play our games in summer cos it doesn't align up well with every other country for transfer windows etc
Jun 26, 2017 i think you're misinterpreting what i'm saying i'm not saying it's a s--- game because you can't play it in rain, a close AFL game is one of the most exciting things on TV
Jun 26, 2017 we were only on it because it was being put in the GOAT sports category thats actually a pretty good conversation, what is the best sport of all time youd have to factor in how good it is to watch, participation all around the world, attendance, ect
Jun 26, 2017 My teams the biggest one and our average crowd is 60ish thousand. Either a bit more or a bit under can't remember
Jun 26, 2017 We're in the top 3 for average crowd attendance I think in the world. Pretty good for a sport played by one nation tbh.
