I went to the MCG on the weekend to see the Mighty Blues give the Tigers a hiding. It was a great arvo, the MCG is the best venue I have been to. 65000 people (52000 at a sold out origin last night) and you don't line up for anything. Not for a wee, a beer or a pie all things that matter...... So well built, unreal, families everywhere not just yobbos!

I kind of wasnt in to AFL at all before that, one game has opened my mind, it's so much better live than on Telly, I reckon League is better on TV than live except for State of Origin.

It's got me into it again. I'm gonna start following Carlton like i did when I played under 5's.

AFL is OK, it's not that bad at all.........

MCG is great but on a cold and rainy day, an indoor stadium is the way to go. We have one of those too.

Yeah everyone tells me Etihad is even better. But sitting in the winter sun warm as toast with a cold beer or 5 and so many people cheering was magical.

It brought out my inner bogan and I loved it!

I am a Swans supporter. Only been following it for a few years after having the game explained by friends. Still a bit vague on a lot of rules. Umpiring seems a bit dodgey a lot o the time as well. A mate has described it as " seagulls chasing a chip"

Both good games , but AFL does accomidate all shapes and sizes so good for kids. But if i had boys id be guiding them into surfing not collission sports as you pay for it when you get older.Not to many old footballers you talk to that dont have some type of problem with Knees , hips , backs ect ect.

Yeah been doing that too!!

afl live hands down winner. an occasion- rugby tests- probaby better to play than watch in general except for the ENTERTAINING REDS- go the reds. league- grew up playing it, but can only be bothered watching orgin now. i still know all about it, hard to get away from with news limited owning league

Yeah I already have my 5yo asking when he can get his own SUP board bug luckily he's not asking about Auskick!

His Pop has had double knee replacement at 58yo due to AFL career.

Ive had hip reconstruction , have a stuffed shoulder , stuffed back numerous breaks and strains and torn muscles all thanks to footy and im not quite 40.

But i would do it all again , the memories are sweet
