- Tough end to the season. I thought Geelong were more of a chance than most people. But I feel the Sydney didn't really offer a shot. I guess after playing over month of elimination finals the players were heading for an off night.
- GWS were ruthless in dispatching West Coast. Hard to tell whether the result was more about West Coast running out of puff or GWS.
- Was disappointing to see the number at the GWS-West Coast game - a touch over 14,000 in a 21,000 seat stadium.
- Was sad both games were over by half time, hoping next weekend's games are closer.
- Our Preliminary Finals are Adelaide v Geelong and Richmond v GWS. We'll know the effect of the pre-final bye this weekend.
- Both games are fairly even, but I'm hoping for a Adelaide v Richmond final. But I'd be equally happy if Geelong wins (just as long as Adelaide or Geelong win the Grand Final).
NRL
- Well, for this neutral, there's nobody left to support. If I have to pick anyone to cheer for it will be the Cowboys.
- Brisbane played well, especially seeing they suffered a few injuries,
- I can't help but feel Parramatta felt the effects of their close loss to Melbourne.
- Our Preliminary Finals are Melbourne v Brisbane and Sydney v North Queensland. I suspect we'll see a Storm - Roosters Grand Final, but we'll see.
Rugby
- Convincing win by the All Blacks against the Springboks this weekend. The 57-0 win was a record margin for a test between the two nations.
- The Wallabies won the first test in this Championship with a 45-20 win against Argentina in Canberra.
- I'm getting hungrier for a test between England and New Zealand. England are the best placed challenger to New Zealand at the moment. It's a shame we have to wait so long to see them play.
Other
- The other highlight from the weekend, was the 15,000 strong crowd who watched the Matilda's 2-1 win over Brazil. The crowd was larger than the Giants - West Coast crowd, Very impressive. The two teams play another game in front of a sell-out crowd in Newcastle on Wednesday.
