Two of the worst games of the year.

As many times as I've seen replays/highlights of 1984, 1985, 1989 etc I never get sick of them. Showing the Prelims rules out 16 supporter groups and probably not that many Collingwood or WC fans would watch again anyway.

Just replay last years GF.
17 teams supporters will be happy!

Makes no difference whatsoever as most people are sleeping anyway

Replay the SANFL Grand Final, better than any of this year's AFL finals!
It'll give me something to watch as I'm working till 2.30am and will be awake till around 5!

It will be interesting to see who falls asleep first on Saturday night.

Slight change of plan, it appears I’ll be into some chicken wings, ribs & steaks throughout the day. I’m tipping I’ll be 8-10 cans in by the first bounce.

Invited or just crashing?

Surely like me he is crashing

Got asked to work tomorrow and couldn’t say yes quick enough.
Have zero interest in the game and roughly 10 hours @ double time will come in handy for Hong Kong in a fortnight

Disappointing.

During the 90s I used to really enjoy their "that was the season that was" specials on the Friday night before the GF. A great summary of the season. Although having said that, if they produced a similar show these days it would be hosted by 'Hame' and 'Daise' and would likely be cringeworthy.

So true Saintal. Friday night before the GF used to be a Football Paradise. Even Fox Footy aren’t showing past glories. Meanwhile on Fox Rugby channel replays of past GF’s have already started.

Im staggered that there's no Grand Final marathon, even on 7mate or something.

Very disappointing.

Wife is working a late/early at the lyle Mac this afternoon and tomorrow morning so she’s not coming home tonight so I’m looking after the daughter and staying home on the farm.
The 3 B’s rule today, Beers,Bets,Bigscreen.

I'll be hoping both teams lose... Can't see it happening so will just ignore the whole thing...

4 surely.
Add BBQ

Enjoy the day gentlemen!

Anyone else not enjoying grand final day as much as in the past?

The whole thing is becoming like Super Bowl, just corporate big wigs at the game.

The coverage has also turned to shit. Used to love watching from early morning but yesterday I spent the morning at smiling Samoyed brewery with out even thinking of the game

How was the crap camera work yesterday so many long shots away from the action

I used to enjoy the Grand Final Marathon into the 18s, vfl and main game. It was a day about the game, not the corporates.

We ALL commented on this yesterday. Amatuer like.
Ch7 are very average compared to Fox Footy.

The state one PatawalongaPirate left Spargo Estate on Saturday night, you’d swear he had a patch over both eyes and two wooden legs...

You’re just lucky I ran out of beer or I would have stayed longer.
