+x+x+xI would love to move to Melbourne- and get to tell the locals that I don't follow an ALF club, have no intention of ever following one, have never been to an ALF match, and have no intention of ever going to one. So there...! You may have a big anticlimax waiting for you... I've been here 17 years and I've never noticed any particular shock or dismay from the locals when I tell them I don't have any interest whatsoever in their local league. When I was last in Melbourne with an English friend (straight off the boat) for the OZ tennis open. My friend was told politely by a local that in England you call it football, but in Australia we call it Soccer, to which I replied, I'm Australian & I call it football & if looks could kill I wouldn't be posting this. You should have told him that we call Tennis, "Racquet Hitty", to help distinguish it from Table Tennis.

+xIsn't the Anti-Football League based in Melbourne? Yes, the original AFL. It has a long and proud history, but was at its zenith in the 1970s when it claimed a solid 74 members.

I can't speak on behalf of Sam Newman.

If you push to engage with the bogan mainstream then this is the consequence.
