I thought a Melbournite wouldn't know a League player! Silly stereotyping me.

Swantastic is right. Hardly any Swans would be recognised in Sydney - Barry Hall and Brett Kirk would be but that's about it.

Girl at work 3 weeks ago told me she saw LRT at David Jones, and she is a massive Parra fan and only knows AFL via the media.

No probs bob.i like all sports i even have been to some storm games.IMO Union is better than league to watch.Why do a lot of big league stars end up playing union.?I'll watch any thing that Australia plays in.

I'm not the biggest fan of either, but I do enjoy League more. The reason for the recent moves though is money. Lote, Rogers and Sailor all took pretty big bucks to go to Union, it generally coincided with tough policing of the salary cap in League post the Super League war.

It's the same reason that historically pre: Professionalism in 1995 that Union players moved to League .

I dont think so Annie,most sydney people wouldnt know an AFL fotballer if they come and punched em in the nose.I was walking down george st with my 5yr old girl and she was the only one to recognize MOL and Monty.If that was in melbourne every body would know who they are.BTW for all those hills in sydney the civil contractors didnt get off there fat arses and do a good job excavating them .So there for @@@@ design.Melbourne is not flat just better designed.

Yes, designed with many flat buildings and no landmarks that anyone who doesn't live in Melbourne would recognise.

I'm from Sydney you numb nut, my family moved here because my dad found a good paying job here, and i'm talking about SIGNIFICANT landmarks on a global scale, i hardly think Parliment House or the Yarra rate as world wide attractions lol. Pathetic arguement mate.
