:_<> :_<> :_<>"What about the game, it was unbelievable," Lyon said at the start of the AFL Footy Show, which aired nationally at about 10.45pm.
"Sam Newman agreed, saying "what a game", before Brownless added: "I loved the game. What do you think, will we see it back in AFL football - the State of Origin, Gaz?".
"How good would it be," Lyon replied. "I think we are missing out on something. I am not sure it is going to happen from an AFL's point of view but to see those players from NSW and Queensland put their club loyalties aside and go at it in the manner that they did we are missing out at AFL level, there is no question about that. Right now we could absolutely do with a State of Origin."
SOO is an event, and if done properly its worthy of a high level of interest. But dont mistake that for love of the game. Otherwise Australia love soccer (because of the WC), or swimming (because of the Olympics).pussycat wrote:Swans4ever wrote:Mostly QLD and NSW fans - all its done is boost the Victorian economy - no one is talking about it!pussycat wrote:A crowd of 90k are expected .

Same could be said for Western Australia. Heard Souths vs New Zealand match got 20,000 plus last night.pussycat wrote:A crowd of 90k are expected after the Vic government payed a reported 3.5m to attract Origin. Is there any wonder ? most people South of the Murray are starved of real sport.

Is that a joke? It might be a bit funnier if you hadn't recorded just 13k in Sydney last night . And Saturday night is much better for ratings than a Sunday arvo game, and last night was far from the Sydney's worst ratings this year.Xman wrote:in love. I guess you didnt see the NRL rated 6k in Melbourne last weekend
