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.

Didn’t realise Fagan was with our organisation for as long as he was.

1998 - 2007.

Yeah the media doesn't mention it, we can claim him!

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 PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
