Hence, the only REAL sport is...
MOTORSPORT!!!

Everything else is second rate...
This is a thread about AFL, not motorsport. We don't much care about the opinions of someone who doesn't follow the code. But anyway I am of the same opinion. Except I hate motorsport, but prefer the footy. Nothing bores me more than seeing cars go around and around and around. Stacks are good. Especially when it's Ambrose being hit by Murphy.

So when you have a thread about "Whats Your Favourite Motorsport" I'll do the right thing as I have nothing constructive to add and stay clear.

But hang on, I could of sworn that there's a 'don't follow/hate AFL' choice on the poll. If you don't want the opinion of someone who doesn't follow the game (and I only wrote that I don't FOLLOW it, not HATE it as you have written as your opinion of motorsport...), then why is the option of that choice there?? And when I last checked, the 'don't follow' option was running 2ND!!
Also, I have read OTHER posts in this thread by people who don't follow AFL, and even some that rubbished it and prefer NRL, yet you choose to flame my post. Why??

That's fine with me, because I don't want to be wasting my time reading posts by people that feel they need to comment when someone else doesn't agree with what they enjoy. As I wrote before, I never wrote that I don't LIKE the game, I just don't FOLLOW it is all.

What sort of talk is that?

Just because people do it, doesn't make it right.

Sponsored by Ford for 81 years this season, it'd have to be Geelong, wouldn't it?

Up the mighty Catters!

but they made the grand final last year with no forward line as Matera was injured most of the year and Lynch couldnt catch a cold. They should stick Hunter at full forward.

Must say i'm suprised that my choice of "I don't follow/don't care about/hate AFL" is the most common answer!

I have my reasons for not being a fan, none of which i'll put on a public forum, but great that not everyone is so hooked on it.

Yes,

The "I hate it" option is more common. But like MADNC said, there are far more supporters out there.
