Sporting shorts - No 30.

And with that weekend the football seasons are over. I can't recall what happened, but I didn't end up watching the Rugby League grand final. I had a great afternoon watching the AFL grand final with friends

NRL

• Was great to read that Cronk played in the final
• For me, it is hard not to say the best team on balance through the year won the competition. 
• A massive congrats to the Brisbane Broncos winner of the first Women's competition. 
• I'm really looking forward to the Indigenous v Maori game which will start next year's season. 

AFL

• The loss will hurt Collingwood, they certainly started brilliantly but weren't able to sustain that effort across the four quarters. 
• Luke Shuey was the deserved Norm Smith Medallist. 
• Such a great story too, given West Coast were tipped by most to miss the finals. 

Rugby

• With their win against Argentina, the All Blacks won the championship with a game to go. 
• Australia lost again and have now slipped to 7th in World Rankings. 

That's it for sporting shorts for the year, we'll see what 2019 brings.
