I cannot watch the news anymore - it drives me absolutely crazy....why do the media think that the whole of Australia has the slightest interest in this stupid, rough, dangerous game???
Yes me also!!! You'd think the news readers might lay off reporting football 'stories' about players, at least out of footy season, but they don't!!! I have noticed that at lest 1 footy player is mentioned every single night during the news. What is with that? It is so annoying!
you would think there was no news around the world - last night it was 15 minutes of a 30 minute broadcast - here in WA they are all crazy as one team is in the finals, and you would think it was WORLD NEWS which it aint!! I also cannot get over how people will p;ay 100 times more for a plane fare and spend many thousands to watch it in a huge crowd!
You have to expect it when the Finals are on, and they do have to talk about something for a whole hour of news. Soon be over, Girls. Soon be over !! Fortunately, I am able to get up off the couch and do something else. We usually eat dinner around that time, so i am usually serving up or washing up. If I am on my IPad while watching the news, I wouldn't be paying much attention anyway.
I'm over it! I've noticed it's more AFL rather than NRL and I'm so sick of it. Now the cricket starts and we will be sick and tired of watching that as well. Don't get me started on the fishing programs😪😪😪
Only 1 more AFL game tonight Helga, at 735 in Sydney (au,) the mens 1 that is. The girls match is being shown in the afternoon! What's with that? And there's another game 'between those 2! As you mentioned, "Then the cricket", & as I'm mentioning, "Then the tennis"! Then the Tour de France, starting is on in July, which I just LOVE watching. It's my favourite sport, but having said that, NO, I have never cycled myself, apart from the 5 minute bike ride lesson in Bali, Jan '95!!!
yep! its rude they lead the news with footy, then lead sport news with more footy shit. and dont be fooled in thinking "the seasons over" - they do the same with cricket
I'm sooo glad you said shit . . .cos I was thinking it . .!! LOL
I avoid watching the news but still find there is too much football pervading my life.
Football non-stop. The only game more boring than AFL is WOMEN'S FOOTBALL.
Doesn't bother me - I switch channels or read my phone etc when most sports are on, sports fans lap it up and need all that info I suppose - most of us are a fan of one thing or another...
and my State won so i have to put up with MORE about damn football. it will once again dominate the new tonight and probably tomorrow night.....last night I watched a dreadful quiz show rather than the news - never done this before!
Oh my . . . . that is definitely scraping the bottom of the barrel . . . .LOL
I don't like or follow AFL
Sport of any description gives me the screamin' heebie-jeebies!
You'd think the world revolved around it! If male persons' here put as much effort into their workaday, as they do sport, we'd be a very wealthy country indeed!
My fave is Equestrian, but it's never telecast, unless it's during the Olympic's, & at that, only if Oz is winning! Shame!
