Think it's the first time for years the NRL combined attendance for both semis have topped the AFL's

Was the game next door between two Sydney sides?

No

Interesting stat that if Adelaide and Richmond win next week itll be the first grand final since 1898 that no players in the GF had previously played in a GF.

Apparently tickets are only expensive for Crows supporters this week.

Any chance of a decent final this season (other than the Port v WCE)? FFS, Sydney's pathetic effort and West Coasts geriatric performance put me to sleep. Might have been the beers, but it was two shit games of football on the weekend.

The Swans nearly as boring as a John Longmire interview.

Anytime a $3.50 outsider gets up it's a very entertaining game!

I understand from a spectator point of view wanting a "good finals series" as I am assuming a good finals game is close with both sides smashing in.

But, from a supporters point of view of a team still in it, I hope Friday night is as boring a game as possible as long as the Crows are winning. Doesn't bother me one bit.

Barring the first 15-20 mins of the Richmond/Geelong game, there's been bugger all "finals intensity". Even the West Coast/Port game, whilst close, was of a below average standard most of the night.

Not happy we lost, but I would much prefer put in a performance like we did Friday night against Geelong than that same performance against the crows this week.... Family wouldn't have been to pleased moving state

I think the standard was low partly because the pressure that was applied, most of it assumed pressure and some younger blokes especially on Ports behalf a little overawed by the occasion. It was at least a hardly fought contest, only one of the 6 so far that has been.

You derived joy from Shuey's goal to beat Port Adelaide, you don't get it, do you?
