Shame of it is, I'd rather watch NRL than AFL.
Being a Carlton supporter you'd probably also watch Studio 10 or Adelady instead of AFL!
I struggle to watch any AFL these days, even games I don't have a vested interest in. It's boring, predictable and over officiated.
I felt exactly the same about the AFL in the early/mid 2000s and I'm the same with the NRL since the 90s, can maintain interest in a Raiders game for a half if I'm lucky but wouldn't even contemplate watching a NRL game without my side in it. Could happilly watch most mainstream sports here and overseas before watching a NRL game, could even watch an English Super League game as at least there's some atmosphere.
AFL is a godsend for me normally, either something good to watch while working or something in the background at another pub while I'm having a few ales but I am blessed as most Geelong games are entertaining in one way or another!
My pommy missus who only liked cricket before me absolutely adores AFL, thinks its the best game in the world by a mile, she won't even watch cricket now she's discovered AFL and even though she was brought up in soccer/rugby league territory I'm confined to the spare room to watch those!
