The NFL team you should support based on your AFL club

29969

In honour of the NFL season's start and the beginning of the AFL finals, we compiled a cross-code comparison linking each AFL side to their closest NFL counterpart.

These comparisons are based on every metric you can think of; recent success, historic success, club status, current projections, future projections, similar-type players, recent list changes, method of play, and even just general vibes.

Some clubs have shockingly fitting comparisons while others need to be slightly reached for.

Nevertheless, here is our list of who every AFL fan should support this NFL season.

Essendon Bombers

New York Giants

These are two more of the biggest franchises in their sports with a knack for disappointing their vocal fans.

Granted, the Giants have a far greater recent history with their 2008 and 2012 Super Bowl wins, given the Bombers still haven't won a final since 2004.

The last decade for both teams has been poor, however.

The Giants boast only two winning records over this period while the Bombers are yet to finish above 7th on the ladder.

Recent coaching changes have provided future optimism for both sides, with Brian Daboll and Brad Scott taking the reins with a promising system in the clubs' rebuilding years.
