After reading something abut the AFL where they admitted it is NOT about the game, it is more EVENT based.

How very true... Anzac Day Dreamtime Queens birthday Big freeze country week gather round pride round...ta get the drift.

But like horse racing 100,000 plus at melb cup..and gazillions at derby day and cox plate.

Then  reverted back 3000 ( if that) at a race meet every other saturday.

So 45,000 watch the eags at Optus ...then 350 watch the eags ressies !

WAFL/VFL ressies are for people who know footy IMHO, they have knowledge of the GAME going back decades, and generally ya can have a decent convo about the game.

Yeah i watch a lot of AFL...BUT the pantomine does my head in at times.
