Unless they are corrected, last nights ratings were underwhelming, sydney didn't break a million & brisbane rated no better than dead rubber origin games.

Yeah, a little concerning- but so many people would've been out watching somewhere, drove through parts of Brisbane after the game and there were people and jerseys everywhere. Will be interesting to see what the regionals are. AFL had us beat on the metro but I feel we have a shot at winning overall
When you consider the viewing figures for afl in Melbourne it does show the difference in popularity of the main codes in each city.

Just a few questions
How many sydney-siders watched last year's grand final?
Is this the lowest sydney audience for a GF?
If so, did we still beat the afl with the lowest sydney audience ever?
Both codes finals got smashed by Origin 2.
I'm actually a little surprised that even the regionals for Origin 2 were stronger.
