AFL - Adelaide vs Collingwood @ Adelaide Oval
Crowd: 50,109


NRL - Parramatta vs Penrith @ CommBank Stadium - Sydney

Embarrassingly low crowd in the NRL heartland of Western Sydney last night. A local derby too.

Saturday 8 August

AFL - Sydney Swans vs Port Adelaide Power
SCG (Moore Park)
Crowd: 40,014


NRL (Indigenous Round) - South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Parramatta Eels
Allianz Stadium (Moore Park)
Crowd: 19,077


Souths clearly need to do more work attracting crowds in Sydney. Simply moving games from Olympic Park to the city is not enough. Earlier in the week, Swans members were offered discount tickets to the NRL game last night. I guess there was not too much interest in this offer.

Overseas for a while.
Not seen much footy at all.
Will do some stats when I get back.
If I am wrong, I’m wrong…won’t hide or spin it.
They appear to be doing pretty well.

Not my worst prediction for this year.
That would be the suns.
There are lies, damn lies and then there are ratings.
Rugby league, Australias most popular game in some of North Eastern Australia.

Yep. You're wrong pal. As you were always going to be. At least you've put your hand up and owned it though. Not like poor 'ol sooks who has gone on his annual temper tantrum and run for his life lololololol!!!!

Well done for that.
