The Cross-Code Pissing Competition Thread

[sledger]

Not in real countries.

afl 30cm
soccer 50cm
union 5cm
league 70cm

league clearly pissing further to date

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Cronulla-Sutherland
St. George-Illawarra
Canterbury-Bankstown

etc etc

All of those suburbs well known for their rich and sophisticated residents.

Here's a semi-serious question then:

Which of the football codes are most closely related?

Obviously league and union & Aussie Rules and Gaelic football are no-brainers, but what about association football? Is that Gaelic football too? I mean, they play with a round ball as well. If so is Aussie Rules more closely related to the world's game than the rugbys?

Where does gridiron fit in?

They all come from the same thing don't they? As I understand it, started with folk football which seems to have just been a big fight on a field, then eventually schools and universities started playing it but all with their own different rules.

 

[Coronis]

Its bad enough that Soccer is a part of this thread, don't bring up gridiron.

 

[sledger]

Don't see why gridiron shouldn't be included tbh.

I'd say that football (soccer) has the least in common with the other sports as all the others involve use of the hands and a far higher level of physicality

Obviously scoring in Aussie Rules involves kicking but aside from the players being spread out over the pitch, that is pretty much where the similarity with football ends

Cronulla is rich.

Though sophisticated....

 

[ripper868]

Tennis and golf criminally left out. Jousting and Kabbadi as well.

waiting for the football v scrabble thread

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Cronulla is rich.

Beach =/= Rich.

 

[benchmark00]

Beach =/= Rich.

Median house price in Cronulla is $950,000. Not sure what your definition of rich is...

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah but the house prices are high due to the beach. It's a chicken and egg situation but not really.

AFL is the closest sport to netball out of the main sports mentioned so far.

 

[ripper868]

Nah you don't get points for missing in netball, takes some skillz.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Cronulla-Sutherland
St. George-Illawarra
Canterbury-Bankstown

etc etc

They're team names, not player names...and they're old. As someone else pointed out, the Roosters have their fair share of hyphenated player names.

Well, according to the Battlers' Prince from Warringah, you're struggling if you're on $250K a year.

 

[Burgey]

I mean, don't get me wrong, I can't understand how people could live on it either.
