Thread: AFL grand final - Will bogan pies supporters riot in melbourne?

So, doesn't an AFL final in the first week of October sound less catchy?

My FB status update - "I'm glad Australia hasn't changed in my absence... Sainters haven't won a grand final in ages and no one wants to see the Pies win a grand final."


Anyhow, what crazyness, did anyone else watch the final and what do people think about the ruling of a final next week?

I don't think I can go through ANOTHER week of fucking football talk. ffs

So nick, who's gonna win next week mate?

5 minutes sometimes only allows for one strong passage of play, and sometimes none if the weather conditions are poor. Get them out for a 5th quarter, I say.

Imagine if you got time off work to go down - paid for flights and accommodation. And now you'll miss the actual game. That is of course unless there is ANOTHER draw - in which case they'll play 5mins each way. Nice one.

Oh, and the herald sun poll on whether there should be extra time is 70% yes 30% no.

5 minutes each way is too short needs to be 10. I do feel for the people who forked out a heap of money to go see a draw.

Interesting that the poll here is split.... I'm not in such a minority after all.

People who voted to have it next week.... what is your reasoning?

How good it is to see Collingwood suffer for another week due to the continuing unfilfillment of their expectations.

So much sweeter it will be if the Saints can actually close the deal.
