Here in the UK the Grand Final is starting at 10:15am. With BT Sport (who will be taking the Channel 7 coverage) starting their programme an hour before first bounce. One of the great things about Australian Rules Football is the tradition. Perhaps I am old fashioned but for me the Grand Final should always be a day game.
Usually there is a massive AFL Grand Final party held at The Clapham Grand in London but for whatever reason it's not happening this year so I'll just be watching it at home.
Who does everyone want to win and what are your predictions for the game? I want the Doggies but reckon the Dees will get up by 28 points. |

Am hoping for Doggies, but think Demons by about 14. |

Very bored waiting for a game in which I will have no skin. Apathy rules ๐ The game, if extremely close, could save the boredom but if it is a blowout, I will hit the sack before the end. No Collingwood, no genuine excitement try as I might ๐ Collingwood IS football ๐ฉ _________________ Don't confuse your current path with your final destination.

I like the night granny and I'm warming to the idea of rotating it year by year to different states _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

^ Same, magirl
Have no interest in the Grand Final being rotated around the states, and I prefer the day time slot. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

Iโm wondering about how Eddie is feeling tonight with the Bulldogs playing in another GF with Collingwood paying a fair chunk of Treloars wages considering what he did for them when they were struggling to then only bend us over when we needed their assistance in our time of need.
Just another example of nice guys finishing last (or second last). _________________ - Side By Side - |

Nah, when youโre not in lockdown it will suck and itโs even worse when your team is actually playing. |

Melburnians will probably hate this,but why do the interstate cities do the Grand Final entertainment so much better than Melbourne does?Last year the entertainment in Brisbane was great,this year itโs gone up another notch in Perth.The entertainment in Melbourne always seems so staid and boring by comparison.Jusr one band tucked up underneath the great southern stand,and thatโs about it. |

Treloar winning a flag doesn't bother me at all. We screwed him remember. He never wanted to leave and it's not his fault the club agreed to pay those wages and use an abacus to do their salary cap. |
