Interesting to compare the geographical spread of teams for the NRL and AFL finals.
NRL:
Brisbane
Melbourne
Canberra
Auckland
4 x Sydney (Sea Eagles, Sharks, Roosters, Dragons)
AFL:
Sydney
Adelaide
Geelong
5 x Melbourne (Hawthorn, Collingwood, Footscray, St Kilda, North Melbourne)
And after week 1, the AFL has lost Adelaide from that list, and 1 Melbourne team.
In the NRL, it seems likely we'll lose 1 Sydney team and Auckland.
Seems a fait accompli that the AFL will be an all-Victoria final. Seems inevitable the NRL will be Melbourne/Brisbane vs someone...
