Many times I rose to my feet to question a lack of a decision in Carlton's favour and I only recall two occasions where Lions supporters did the same. Yet they rose to their feet for every goal they scored. The lack of AFL news up here is staggering. We certainly haven't won the hearts and minds of the locals. The Gary Pert decision made the seventh back page of today's paper and that included the Toby Greene suspension. I am guessing that it was front or back page in Victoria - just because of the Collingwood prejudice. There is no other AFL news. I have had to resort to the internet for anything else pertaining to AFL. >>
Just off topic for a bit...I'm finding exactly the opposite here in Wollongong.
This is about as Rugby League territory as it gets...the sports section is about 6-8 pages but this year the AFL coverage in the local Mercury has usually run to a double page spread with a news story from about five or six clubs each day.
