Disagree with you mate, for example I played in the Southern Football League and Campbell Creek were also playing in a league when they kicked their many goals.
The SANFL is no more of a league than the AFL or Southern Football League, they're all leagues and to just suggest that some selected competitons are leagues when others are not is quite ridiculous IMHO.

Totally agree. I don't care how big the margin is, so long as the game is played the way it should, fine by me.

That was the kind of footy Australian Rules Football is known for.
