Donk, as a Victorian living in Sydney I've developed a different point of view, especially since the Swans (not my team) have done so well here. There are many converts, the interest is very high, it's good for the game as a national sport if more events are spread around the states. There are plenty of people here would think NSW is a footballing state these days.

Who will win? Dunno, I didn't expect either team to make it over the Bombers & Lions. However, both deserve it the way they played. Carlton after last week, although it's very difficult to maintain such a turn around of form right through to the end of the Grand Final. If it's the Blues then Kouta for the Norm Smith, otherwise Carey (yuk).

Cheers,
Alan
