I heard that argument a thousand times when I lived in SA. As an outsider not having any preconceived notions about either sport before I lived in Oz. I would have to say that the AFL is one of the greatest spectator sports in the world in my opinion. Still it seems that anybody I talked to from up North about it wouldn't even give the AFL the time of day. Must be a cultural thing.
