I wonder what the level of interest is in this game interstate. I suspect if you dig a little that it's not great.

Similarly the level of interest in Melbourne in the Storm is abysmal.

The GF really needs to go on the road occasionally. (One in every three years would be fine)

Diamond, just come back from the Gold Coast. Up there it's big news. I think the level of interest may surprise you.

    Just turned on channel 7. You would be hard pressed to find a less charismatic line up. It's almost an art form

    Well I've seen a few wearing the red and white today in Sydney.  Also someone with a Swans scarf and a Lions guernsey!  Lots of pubs in my area advertising specials for the GF, so it'll likely be quite rowdy this afternoon.

    It will probably be one of the highest rating grand finals ever and the Storm just won in front of a sell out crowd that was one of the quickest selling games ever at the ground.

    Why do the Afl do often get the entertainment wrong.

    I don't think anyone would care if they just played the national anthem and bounced the ball

    Wowsers. I’m currently in Kirra/Coolangatta and am amazed at the traffic and amount of time it takes to go from one end of the Gold Coast to the other, let alone from Byron to Brissie. Not sure of his family / partner situation but if you’re earning good coin and will do for only a few more years, suck it up and live closer by.

    We're down on the Richmond river near Ballina. We normally avoid travelling to Brisbane during the daylight hours completely due to gold coast traffic. Perpetual roadworks.

    A 2 hour 5 minute drive at 8pm and a 3.5 hour drive at 8am typically.

    I can only expect he stays somewhere in Brisbane during the week.

    Geez we avoid Byron like the plague too.

    Saw King Stingray (they should be playing today instead of KP) at the northern in Byron the other week.

    $12 for a schooner of beer in a plastic glass. Eye watering prices. No wonder the kids don't drink.

    Go the Swannies. They've been the best team all year.

    CORRECT!!!! We have tried to copy the superbowl and it just makes us look like hicks. 

    The problem is, the AFL has no faith in its product. It doesn't believe that people might actually go to the footy to watch the footy.

    Why do we have cooked oseas acts?

    We have lots of great entertainment here in Oz.

    Not like the Superbowl are checking in here for performers.

    Katy Perry.... please. Wth.

    Contrary to popular belief, there is a world OUTSIDE of the internet. People seem to have this inherent belief that whatever is said or seen on socials is automatically treated as gospel.

    Katy Perry exceeded $500 million in net worth earlier this year and has a ton of Australian shows on her next tour next year. Whether you like it or not, she still has a sizable global fanbase in spite of not being in her “prime” anymore.

    This is far from a failure from the AFL’s perspective.

    Actually Storm has very good attendance at most home games, and it was a sell out last night. I am a member of the Melbourne Storm as well as the Demons.

    I was talking mainly of media coverage. Attendance wise 29k for a team that has been in 11 grand finals in a sports mad city of 5M is not exactly killing it

    29,000 is the capacity of AAMI Park, so therefore could not fit any more people in. The Storm have bigger crowds at Marvel Stadium when they played there before. Can you explain how 29,000 is not killing it, when it was a sell out? I am sure that more people would have attended if the venue held more.

    My lack of care is a solid 9.5 out of 10.


    But let’s go Swans because of JJ and because one of my closest friends is a die hard Swans fan. 
    And also because I despise Brisbane.

    Agree all the hoopla crammed into the non-playing time seriously detracts from the real footy. Especially during the quarter and half time breaks. Let the game breathe. Pre-game is OK.

    Here's an interesting thought, Dunkley could win his 2nd premiership medal against Swans, and Swans didn't select him as Father-Son.

    I have zero interest in this game and will find other things to do this afternoon...I might even blow dry the few hairs on my head instead. This is a battle of the big academies and the AFL can get [censored].

    Screw JJ.  He dumped us, don't forget. 

    Yes, I'm being very mature and taking the jilted lover approach to this game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
