2024 AFL Grand Final

[leave it to deever 17,451]

Why do the Afl do often get the entertainment wrong.

Why do we have cooked oseas acts?

We have lots of great entertainment here in Oz.

Not like the Superbowl are checking in here for performers.

Katy Perry.... please. Wth.

gf should be played at south's albert park ground

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,114]

Each side should have their own GF parade. One down Clarendon St and the other down Brunswick St, meeting in the city centre.

Can’t see Sydney losing this. They will be so much fresher than Brisbane who have just come off two hard emotionally draining finals. Plus McInerney out gives Grundy a huge bonus. And how great will it be to see Zorko having a blubber post game, maybe Petts could give him a call

[BoBo 2,916]

I was dreading a Syd v Gee granny… legitimately wouldn’t have cared about the result between those two and was questioning if I even really wanted to waste an afternoon watching that game. 

At least with Brisbane there’s a chance of a team that hasn’t won it for 20 years to win it and be redeemed from last years loss.

Sydney as a club just bore me to tears. I don’t hate them, they’re just so, meh

[dl4e 5,850]

I am just glad Geelong are not playing.

[VNightCityLegend 5]

I’m new here after perusing for 18 years, but I gotta be honest... Couldn’t believe the amount of support for the smug pr!cks that is Brisbane. I detest Geelong, but at least if they make the GF, the likes of Dangerfield have already won one, so it lessens the disdain. 
 

Hopefully Sydney wins and keep the likes of Zorko, Hipwood, Andrews, McCluggage, Answerth and Neale premiership-less. Far too many unlikeable players in spite of apart of me would be happy for Fagan.

Stupid Hypothetical: we don't pick up Fullarton. Does he get a run in the GF for Brissy?

(Not to mention our list management impact on Sydney's ruck stocks)

I really hope for Fullarton’s sake that he would have been behind Forte and Smith in the ruck depth if he were still at Brisbane this year.

Otherwise, it would have been a yes to your good question. He’s probably pondering the question as well.

I think they would sooner run Daniher in the ruck than that scenario.

[Demonsone 1,956]

Maybe lions should ask Fullerton to be the replacement ruck 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'd be happier if it actually was South Melbourne v Fitzroy. 

Well it really is just that. Just a change of location. I know a lot of old Fitzroy supporters who have continued to support the Lions ever since they went to Brisbane.Just think, if Melbourne went interstate would you stop barracking for them? I certainly wouldn't.

[hardtack 10,412]

My band is playing in Canberra on the afternoon of GF Saturday from 3pm, so I’m going to miss watching it.

The challenge for us is to avoid any contact with people who might be following it during our performance, so that we can all watch it later on in the evening (our pedal steel player lives close by in Sutton and has Kayo), as if it hadn’t already happened.

Fortunately the venue, Smith’s Alternative, has no TV screens on the premises.

It absolutely is not

While Souths moved to Sydney, Brisbane absorbed the bones of the Lions into the Bears - they have NOTHING to do with Fitzroy

It was a complete corporate takeover, not a merger 

[binman 41,963]

I backed the swans to win the flag  after their 112 point thumping by Port.

My only stress about the GF is whether to lay off and back the lions- and still make a healthy profit if they win.

Nice problem to have 😂 I would do it 

Genuine 50/50 game imo

Won't be watching the Grand Final or Brownlow. Have got better things to do i.e. nothing.

The Brownlow has become a bloated borefest and is best avoided, but I'm looking forward to the GF and hope it doesn't turn out to be a one-sided affair.

It's my first year as a MCC Full member, was not a part of the GF ballot.

Any idea what time someone would need to rock up to get a seat for a Sydney v Brisbane final?

It will be more entertaining and stimulating reading the Demonland Brownlow thread tomorrow morning instead of watching the presentation on live TV.

Good luck hardtack, the sport result blackout exercise is harder than ever to pull off these days.

i feel like brisbane played their grand final on saturday evening.

swans by 30

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 4,790]

Chances of JJ being the sub?

I think him getting a played role in a premiership is my sole interest in this game.

My interest otherwise was fulfilled with the exit of Geelong.
