Interesting Fact:

1933 South Melbourne Win 3rd flag,Bombers wooden spoon!

2016 Can Swans win 3rd flag? (as Sydney) Bombers wooden spoon!


Another Interesting Fact:

(Sydney) Swans have only finished minor premiers twice before - 1996 and 2014. Didn't end so well in those years! ;)

The Living End and Vance Joy announced as the acts for the Grand Final entertainment. Good to see the AFL go with some decent Australian musicians this year.

I was impressed with it last year. Dilute the players out across 8 teams or however many there is & the standard will drop away very quickly.

I think it will grow the sport rapidly though. Good concept by the AFL
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane will have there own markets to pull talent from. I wouldn't have thought many interstate players would of played in that match.

Also I haven't seen a game yet so hard to comment on the Standard.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards

The question is how many will watch the next one

I get the feeling there was a lot of 'car crash' type viewers for this first one
