One thing I do like about the NRL GF compared to the AFL one ,
the diehard fans who follow their team through thick and thin have a much better chance of attending if their team gets through ,
Their tickets are far more accessible to the real fans , the AFL one gets hijacked by Corporate groups , tickets are like gold
I agree the NRL GF seems more accessible for the fans of the competing teams however a considerable chunk of AFL GF tickets go to fans of the game. What the AFL does well is reward those that are loyal through the season (ie pay for memberships whether club, AFL or MCC)
Here’s the 2022 AFL GF spread
- Competing club members 16K-40K
- AFL clubs - 0-7K
- MCC reserve - 16K-26K
- AFL members - 13K-18K
- AFL / Medallion Club members - 3K-5K
- AFL entitlement / contractual obligations - 5K-30K
- Competing clubs - 0-5K
Given the atmosphere and what it looked like on the day, plenty of Geelong fans
Yeah it’s a certain amount of tickets to each club for their members , and most clubs have a limited amount of memberships that guarantee you gf tickets should the team make it .
I had one in 2017 , I think there was 15-20,000 of us , there are other tickets out there you can get , but they are usually high end ones that includes a meal, drinks etc , quite expensive, a couple of grand , a lot of supporters just bite the bullet and pay it if it’s the only way they get to go .
I’ve gone to nrl gfs when storm have made it and just brought a ticket through ticketek the week of the game , was a breeze .

That’s because Sydney based NRL fans hate the Storm, so don’t want to go

That probably had a bit to do with it , but it doesn’t matter who is in the afl gf , the tickets are gone

Sucked down a rabbit hole watching "classic" GFs on Fox.
Amused at what the TMO would have called up nowadays ...
St George v Storm ...

I'm in some weird twilight zone shit. Watched a match last night and just clicked it was last fucking years game. For some reason I blanked on Penrith losing to the Storm in 2020. Fucking lol. I blame the kids... and a touch of old age.
In the good news column, I've got GF to watch tonight!

Was thinking about all the different nrl grand finals I’ve been to ,
Storm v st George
Storm v broncos
Storm v manly ( twice )
Storm v parra
Storm v bulldogs
Warriors v manlyAnd the parramatta fans clearly made the most noise , they were so loud
They have a very big passionate blue collar supporter base very similar to a Collingwood or a Richmond in the afl .
Anyone going today should be in for a treat .

Sheesh Penrith is cleaning up. They have some sort of program going on our west.
-
Could be way wrong, but can't help but feel the inclusion of Nathan Brown could harden Parra in the middle. They still need their halves to stand up obviously otherwise they will be easily beaten but at least selection wise I think this is good

On my way to the stadium now after a couple of warm up beers at darling harbour
@mariner4life enjoy it bro. The stadium and crowd look amazing on TV
-
Fisher-Harris lucky not to be penalised twice there - one late hit and one high
-
Good move by Panthers to get more numbers on the right side.
-
Papalii looks gassed
-
This looks over already. Panthers making easy yards against the Eels.
-
Unrelenting stuff here from the Panthers.

Feels like the AFL final right now

18-0 may as well be 30-0 with the way the Panthers are defending and the lack of inroads from the Eels attack.
