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.
Greater Western Sydney GiantsÂ
Seattle Seahawks
These are two franchises setting the benchmark for consistency in their sports.
Many thought 2023 to be a rebuilding year for the Giants, having changed coaches and recently losing renowned talent like Jeremy Cameron and Tim Taranto.
Yet, they have still managed to make the most out of their underrated list and continue to challenge the best sides every year.
The Seahawks have also suffered a major loss of talent recently, with Russell Wilson exiting the door for a massive contract with the Denver Broncos.
This hasn't stopped Pete Carroll and company from getting the most out of an also underrated list featuring Geno Smith, Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, having made the playoffs in their first year without Wilson.
