Would anyone like to tell the NRL supporters that there is more sport in Melbourne than just AFL?

yer i wish perth was like melb but syd have rugby and cricket

Our crowds are at a lull for the last two years, yes, but who really cares when you go to watch your team play? I could go to a game where it would only be myself there yet still have a good time. And when talking about crowd attendances, It helps having a game 50 years older then another and made in Australia. We're like you, have a main sport and minor sports around it. We also have Soccer, Bball, AFL, Union and Cricket. This is more turning into a City V City battle, and it also helps to realise that with summer upon us, our beautiful Manly and Bondi Beaches are packed while your ...what's a famous Melbourne Beach?... is empty. Beaches have nothing to do with this of course, yet I'm stating a point. You seemed to not do what suprisingly most of the AFL section does do, and not bag us. For that and making a reasonable argument, I won't flame you.

**You're spot on.**

melbourne victory victorian cricket team melbourne cup grand prix melbourne vixens melbourne tigers south dragons international rules thats seven different sports :D melbourne is the sporting capital

We have Red Bull Air Race & the Hopman Cup! Wooohooo! but yeah Melbourne is the sporting captail, it's mainly cause of AFL. edit: manly4ly... perth beaches and weather beat all, nice try though.

This is the week Melbourne have the race that stops the nation so that speaks for itself. Also why did they have Aussie Rules as a demonstration sport at the Sydney Olympic and not NRL.

OUR POOR LITTLE MEXICAN NEIGHBOURS! Hahaha.....loser State, your pathetic little 'International Series' was a joke! Who held Australias best ever Olympics? Why is it that SYDNEY is know EVERYWHERE in the World? not you guys hahaha.....

I know Melbourne has a football team, the Melbourne Victory, a good NRL team, the Melbourne Storm, some Horse Racing carnival (I hate Horse Racing), the F1 Grand Prix that Kennett nicked from the West Victorians and the Australian Open Tennis. The Tennis is fantastic. The football's good, The Rugby League is awesome. The rest is like watching paint dry. I also know you have kick and giggle, or backyard ballet. Stupid Mexican game. It still doesn't stop Melbourne from being a boring ugly city and isn't a patch on Sydney. To quote Juan Antonio Samaranch "And the winner is Sydney"
