Another point - since when was Ireland a part of Great Britain? Northern Ireland is, but when did that happen? So how could English law effect Ireland hmmm? Aside from Northern Ireland, when did the English claim the land as their own? And refuse to give it back? The whole of Ireland was under Brit...

Willis, you need to apologise for that crack about "blaming everything on history"! FACT - for 179 years (from 1788 to 1967) the white man treated the Aborigines like crap And the British treated the Irish like Sh!t for centuries, the Turks massacred millions of Kurds, the Belgians the sa...

BLAME??? I was inferring to the lack of acknowledgement of history and not the continued WHITEWASH

What acknowledgement do you want?

And is it gunna change anything that has happened??

Ohh..woe is me....

I just wanna blame everything on history...

Add obligatory rolly eyes emotion to end post -

Gotta agree with Leigh Matthews... The AFL needs to forget about further expansion in QLD until the Lions get back on track ( which may be a long time away :lol: )... I really think that its possible they have missed the boat completely on the Gold Coast... The NRL's decision to put a team there thi...

Souths suck the fat one....

Go and ask Joe Galavao how the "battlers" are treating him...

Souths the peoples team - what a joke....

Hey??

The Broncos have been having an ordinary year so far this year, and their crowds are much better than the Lions?..

You obviously missed this part ...

The NRL's Brisbane, Gold Coast and North Queensland clubs rank first, second and third in home crowd figures in this year's competition

Three teams aren't enough in my opinion...

Sorry, I got a bit lazy...

Add Canberra, South and North Coasts of NSW, Western NSW and the rest of regional QLD outside of Cairns and Townsville.

Theres the difference...

The Southport Sharks are propped up by a poker machine palace on the Gold Coast, who's members would know nothing about AFL. Its a social club .. do not confuse it with any meaningful support of Aussie Rules... You tell me how the game is travelling in Cairns.. daylight behind Rugby League as always...

The Queenslanders have certainly been voting with their feet this year, and the Titans have been a tremendous success already... Last week alone you had 52k at the Origin, 48k for the SE Qld derby, and a sellout in Townsville last weekend... It appears that this weekend's Cowboys game has sold out a...

After a week where 125,000 people attended rugby league in QLD during a 72 hour period, it looks like the Lions are going from bad to worse... I must admit that I have predicted that the off field success the Lions had a couple of years ago was not really reflective of any meaningful support in Bris...

The Sydney broadcaster, who died today aged 60 of a brain tumour, wore political incorrectness like a bad...

I once worked out the catchment overlap - it is significant since it takes into account the Wollongong/Illawarra, the Central Coast and the entire Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Thus people who add regionals to Oztam figures are doubling up a significant chunk of Australia's East Coast population. ...

Of course they CAN go all the way..

The question is will they?

I think they are certainies for the final at least...
