Real men play rugby league!
We all know the reason it is not played in those other lesser states in Australia is that they are a bit soft and wouldn't be able to handle the hardness and physicality of the game
and don't get me started about soccer.....

Funny how those who follow minority sports like thugby always have to try and pretend that there is something wrong with real football where the focus is on skill and not on violence
Spy, footy would be AFL everywhere that matters.

Union is a real mans sport, not that flashy uniformed league rubbish
Agree with Mike, when down under AFL was always referred to as Footy, and what we call Football over here in the UK Bill is known as soccer down there

Proper footy fans refer to football as real football. All the others just sniff bums or practice their diving technique.

Surely ANYTHING that involves the outfield players using their hands or whatever to make it easier for them can't be called Football?

Football (soccer to the uniniated) is a game for gentlemen played by thugs, rugby is a game for thugs played by gentlemen...
