Moore Park, Sydney Cricket Ground

Both Sydney teams were in the Australian Football League (AFL) final on Saturday night, played at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) at Moore Park. The Greater Western Sydney Giants thrashed the Sydney Swans, in a one-sided game of Australian Rules football. The clock tower at the former Sydney Showgrounds, now Fox Studios, rises above the Bill O'Reilly Stand.

    That's quite a stadium!

    Cricket never seemed to take off here. The only cricket pitch I know of is at the residence of the governor general.

    Wow. I have no idea how cricket is played. I'm just learning about the world cup since the last tournaments played. Now, cricket will be next.

    Even I, a U S citizen, think your sports are better competitive sports than what we have.

    Aussie rules is a tough sport Eurosport used to show matches and it was fun to watch.

      The players constantly run all over the field. You have to be very fit.

    I am a Melburnian but my husband grew up in Sydney. So he was delighted to see the game on tv. Since there was no Australian football in Sydney when he grew up, he was delighted to see two Sydney teams displaying great football skills. Rugby looks thuggish in comparison.

      I do wonder what preparation is needed before the cricket season starts.

      They were loud. They probably would have been louder if the Swans won because they draw a larger crowd.
