Best AFL GF ever. Good luck next week Saints!
Can’t understand why people are whingeing – the fans get two terrific grand finals and the players have another opportunity to play top footy. No negatives there.
I was watching on saturday from a hugely overcrowded hotel public bar room. It was sensational to watch. I think i was as impressed as if my own team (not playing) had won. My friends & I went crazy with cheers & laughter. What i cannot believe is the “experience” of it all. btw i play for a suburban AFL club & i would not change the “rules” to appease the bunch of whingers. You know the rules so harden the f…k up. See ya all next weekend!
