AFL Adelaide v Collingwood. Second elimination final. From 7.30. Sydney v North Melbourne. With ticket sales for this, possibly the least inspiring of the Swans' past five finals appearances, hovering somewhere around the 16,000 mark at press time, the AFL looks an odds-on bet to be introduced this evening to one of the most endearing features of the NRL: the dynamite atmosphere of a one-quarter-full, no-noise-coming-from-the-stands, hotdogs-outnumber-patrons, no-competition-for-a-space-at-the-urinal ANZ Stadium. We've been at the Olympic stadium for a game like that, and we can honestly say that it led to some of the least-pressured urination we have ever experienced at a professional football fixture. On an unrelated note, did anyone know that the AFL is this week holding the International Cup, and that on Wednesday night, Papua New Guinea beat South Africa by 47 points to advance to this afternoon's grand final against New Zealand? We didn't think so!
