    Okay, so with that. You're saying AFL "lows" in standard are lower than soccer "lows" in standard when it comes to rain play.

    I'll rebut that by saying the AFL's "highs" > soccer's "highs".

    yeah see now we're getting somewhere, i'd agree completely

    AFL has better highs than soccer as a viewer

    So with that then it's worthy of laying claim to being the GOAT sport.

    I'd take an average AFL game over an average worldwide soccer game.

    in my opinion, the weather holds soccer back here

    if it was played in winter now, because AFL hypothetically took a year off, the standard of play would increase dramatically

    Nothing is stopping A-League from moving from summer to winter.

    i mean they're two diff people so idk

    imo:
    soccer >>>> football as a sport
    afl >> a-league as a league
    and its that simple although its fine if they like football more i can see why someone would its really all semantics and opinion if you're arguing which is the better sport but afl is clearly always going to be much bigger than the a-league for obvious reasons

    But using your logic, the standard would be better thus a better product and that would bring in supporters, no?
