The AFL Grand Final will have the Sydney Swans versus the Western (Melbourne) Bulldogs. The Bulldogs have only ever won a single Grand Final back in 1954. The last time they played and lost a Grand Final was 1961. In two years the Bulldogs have become a winning team and their efforts have taken them this far. A victory by this team would possibly be greater than if the Sydney Swans win in light of the Swans’ superb performances for many years.
The NRL Grand Final will pit the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks from southern Sydney versus the Melbourne Storm.
The NRL Grand Final will be seen on television in the U. S. on Fox Sports 2 which is now widely available as a basic cable channel. The AFL’s typical self-destructive decision making has limited the U. S. viewing of their Grand Final to Fox Soccer Plus which costs extra each month to view only on those cable/satellite companies that offer it and online which also has a pay wall. And on both viewing sources Americans are likely to see the game only and none of the pre- or post-game coverage due to expensive royalties owed if copyrighted background music gets heard, something that has been a problem for years. Those curious or eager enough to watch the games will penetrate any media barriers.
