The MCG might be unusually empty on AFL Grand Final day, but that’s not going to stop footy fans around the country from tucking into the traditional match-day pie.

In fact, a whopping $14.8 million is expected to be spent across Australia in food delivery for the Grand Final, according to an estimate from Deliveroo. That’s an increase of 35% on last year, as fans are forced to skip the pub and watch from home.

According to Deliveroo’s research pies are (to no-one’s surprise) the meal of choice when watching the AFL, as voted for by 33%. The next-most ordered dishes for match day are pizza, burgers, chicken wings and hot chips.

We’ve listed EVERY team’s favourite footy food below!
Maybe there’s a reason behind the love of pies: superstition. A full 17% of fans rate a beef pie with hot chips as the luckiest match day meal.

Just avoid the salad. Nearly a quarter of Aussies (23%) say salad is the unluckiest meal on game day, followed by nachos (7%). So if your team loses on Sunday, feel free to blame anyone digging into a Caesar, Waldorf or Cobb.

And the rivalry between the Cats and Tigers won’t just heat up on the field; there’s even a difference in their fans’ favourite pies.

Steak, Bacon & Cheese is king of the pies for the Richmond faithful, whereas Geelong fans prefer Chunky Steak.

But it’s surely no surprise that Collingwood Magpies fans love their pies more than any other team, with 30% of fans rating it their favourite dish.

Here’s what your team’s fans will be digging into come Saturday night.

Your team’s ‘official’ dish:

Richmond Tigers: Classic Mince Pie (21%)

Geelong Cats: Meat Pie (20%)

Adelaide Crows: Potato Wedges (18%)

Brisbane Lions: Chicken Wings (12%)

Carlton Blues: Hot Chips (15%)

Collingwood Magpies: Meat Pie (30%)

Essendon Bombers: Chicken & Leek Pie (7%)

Freemantle Dockers: Classic Mince Pie (15.5%)

Gold Coast Suns: Hot Dog (17.65%)

Greater Western Sydney Giants: Chicken & Potato Pie (14.5%)

Hawthorn Hawks: Hot Chips (17.5%)

Melbourne Demons: Pizza (21%)

North Melbourne Kangaroos: Sausage Roll (8%)
