AFL? Sorry. I'm not a sports person. Most I want to know is 1, Have the Brisbane Lions won overall? (Although with our new Gold Coast team, I might cheer for them) and 2, Has Queensland won the State of Origin? That sums up my football interest. I consider it a game only slightly less masochistic than boxing.
I think you may have confused AFL (Australian Rules Football) with rugby league ???
The Gold Coast Titans are the new rugby league team as of this year. Brisbane in the rugby league are called the Broncos.
In the AFL, the Kangaroos (the old North Melbourne) are playing some 'home' games at Cararra on the Gold Coast this year. There is some talk that they may relocate there at some stage in the future.
The Brisbane Lions won a hat-trick of premierships in 2001, 2002 (
) and 2003 (
)
Queensland won game 1 of state of origin earlier this month.
As for the boxing comparison, I could see how you could apply that to rugby league but there's simply no way IMHO that could ever be applied to Australian Rules Football. The two sports (rugby league & AFL) are as different as our old friends chalk and cheese ! !!
