At NRL last night. Running rings around the AFL as a production.

Night Game is fantastic.

Pluses 2-3 minute warm up and the game starts

Only storm has vic outdated concept of a run through with 30- 40 cheer squad mmembers on ground getting a moment on the ground.

Let the players take the stage

    The NRL GF outrated the AFL GF by around 10% 4.46M to 4.18M.

    Definitely a message there to the AFL.

    The NRLW GF had 1M viewers compared to last years AFLW GF with 354k

    Yes but a ‘good’ crowd during the season is generally no more than 35,000.. hardly cause for angst amongst the heaviest at AFL house

    Reese Walsh who should certainly have been sin-binned for 10 minutes, played probably the greatest individual grand final performance of all time, and Storm couldn’t contain him.

    He was the difference

    He was everywhere Walsh scoring tries, setting up tries and making big tackles.

    Attendances aren't important for TV money which is where it's all at.

    NRL are about to re-negotiate their media rights deal. My guess is that for the first time they will equal if not exceed the AFL deal.

    AFL is asleep at the wheel. NRL is slowly changing from crash and bump to a running game with powerful hits which the crowd loves. a lot of USA hype crowd engagement too.

    I don’t follow the NRL but my inlaws and boss are big Storm fans.

    I tuned in out of interest and it’s a bloody wild spectacle.

    My favourite parts of the NRL based on one game;

    1. the umpires are allowed to do their thing and can adjudicate without a million players in their face every single play.

    1. The sin bin

    2. They are very authentic, no trying to be blue-blooded scholars

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
