My brother took me to an AFL game once.
(He's a Swans member).

I nearly died of :

1. Boredom

I've been to several matches, but can't get into it.

Mind numbingly boring.

And the crowd ... Roll Eyes

I think it's far easier/more comfortable to watch football on Foxtel.

Grab the family, the popcorn, put the gas heater on...hmmmmm nice

If I let myself be bought then I am no longer free.

I'd agree with that.

At least you don't have the bogan fans yelling *carn ump in your ears every five minutes.

I appreciate the translation lol.

Boganish is a language I find difficult to understand. OzPolitics has however, helped me learn quite a bit of Boganish. Tongue

It happened at a couple of matches I went to.

There were these um ... people (?) behind me who would literally yell out "caaaaarn ump" every five minutes.

The fans at AFL matches are just another breed.

The worst crowd is the one that cheers instead of clapping one of your injured players of the ground and that mainly comes from interstate sides.

They are getting better these days though.

I suspect that was because he was shown the door rather than leaving.
