    No but I watched it enough when I was over there to maybe provide you with some related conversation.

    How did Western Bulldogs not make the GF anyway? They were playing great last time I checked..

    Western Bulldogs don't have a key forward, they went inside forward 50 10 more times (?) but because they don't have a tall forward, they simply cannot finish off powerhouse teams like St.Kilda off, every team needs a tall forward, not just crumbling goal kickers.

    Although the crumbling goal kickers were good enough to beat the Lions and head for a Preliminery, says that midgets don't win you premierships

    Also St.Kilda generally play a defensive gameplan, choking teams and then firing away to win, it's been effective for them though, lets hope they can claim their first premiership in 43 years.

    Yeah theres a few of us Aussies, but only a few down Melb/Adelaide/Tassie. Most are QLD/NSW. Few in Perth.

    So the general discussion is ORIGIN!

    And NRL.

    The Swans need him, all the veterans have pretty much left Sydney so they need an experienced, premiership player to lead them or else bottom four will be the likely hood (Although they could be tanking)

    And Rugby is gay

    Also the Broncos vs Storm match crowd figures are going to be extremely disapointing, it's sceduled a few hours after the AFL grand final for **** sake, what were they thinking of?

    Thats the way it goes. Now, if it was a Brisbane final, well then, 50k+ without a thought.

    AFL is a thing in melbourne. Adelaide as well, since the bunnies have been there and back. Elsewhere...

    Rugby seems to be a dying sport IMO

    Even up in Queensland....It's slowly losing it's influence (in terms of crowd figures and tv ratings)

    Apparently a journalist wrote that the AFL wants to kill off NRL (I'll find the link)

    I've never heard of these people.

    I think I could name 5, max, AFL players outside of the Brisbane team of that triple premiership.

    Of course, my opinion on this subject is not valid, as I don't actually follow any sport anymore.

    Well if you have the will power to stay up late for most nights, gaming + watching A BIT of sports couldn't do any harm

    Works for me though

    Unfortunately I am the bearer of bad tidings for all Swans fans the story from Kennelly is he is staying put with Kerry I am sure the big job they gave him as development coach in Kerry had nothing to do with it.

    Swans end speculation

    Course it may change if Swans ante up the credits a bit but I doubt he is angling for more money Kerry are hoping he will play next year for back to back titles.

    Is Pierce Hanley still with the Brisbane Lions he was a bit of a loss for Mayo over here heard he took a knock or something and wouldnt be playing.
    Pierce Hanley just in case you dunno

    On a slightly related note I used to work with an Aussie from Melborne and I came into work one day to tell him I had seen on the internet the Swans would be playing the West coast Eagles (couple of years ago)in the final he turned to the wife and said dammit its two International teams this year

    When is the final on or has it been played already there is a highlights programme overhere on TG4 its definately an Austrailian highlights package from one of your TV stations and it feels quite up to date so it will likely be on late one night here.

    Bah! Give us a few years to train up the newer guys and we'll be sweet. We played some of our best footy in the last few weeks of the Season with very young and inexperienced teams. Give them a few years experience and we should be in serious contention for the Top 4.

    It is being played on Saturday evening in Australia.

    I was reading this blog post today about supporter Demographics (Not worth it unless you have a bit of a statistics fetish) and I found this graph interesting:

    I am excited too see White next season, he is exactly what the Swans need, a full forward. By the way, do the Swans still use the Flooding tactic?

    And boy, I cannot wait for next season, seeing Barry Hall against your mob will be an entertaining watch, Will big bad Barry knock out his previous fellow comrades? We shall see

    But one thing I am concerned about your team, in 2002 there was a massive decline in your membership numbers because the Swans did not make the finals, thus losing money. Now the Draft picks are going to be raped by the new teams, West Sydney and Gold Coast....Sydney really needs to avoid bottom four, it's still a developing market but Andrew Demetriou thinks that the Western Sydney team is ready, it's total bullshit....Both Brisbane and Sydney are still growing, hate his arrogance

    I also do know that both Brisbane and Sydney are Rugby states but the AFL is winning the war IMO in terms of TV ratings and crowds

    No Footy for 6 months...

    And Pevergreen, The Storm match crowd figures were much better than I expected, 27k...considering
    - Terrible weather
    - AFL Grand Final
    - No one knows what Rugby is in Victoria

    ANZ Stadium, anyone hoping for a sellout?
