AF POOP GF have 1 thing right.

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

OK. I'm prepared to get hammered for even mentioning that other game, but the AFL has got it so right having a day GF.

It's often said the broadcast deal stipulates a night time GF but the AFL seem to resist the pressure.

How good would a 3pm GF on sunday be? I remember as a kid starting to watch the lower grade games about 10am and then build up to the big match.

How good is a day game...whether it's the GF or just a regular season game.

So true
These late game finals remind me more of an Amco cup Grand Final

I'm so bored without the usual full compliment of nrl games that I thought I would try watch the afl for at least 5 minutes to see if I could make any progress of understanding it and its safe to say, I DON'T, it looks like if humans were headless chooks running around on a field, and I want to punch the ref for blowing his whistle that often. I will give them credit that you have to be fit running around that much for that long but that's about it. While I'm here, I thought I'd ask and maybe no one will understand me but a lot of afl players just look like afl players and to me Ryan papenhauzen looks like an afl player to me, he always wear a jersey one or two sizes small too, does anyone else think that or just me?

I played a few seasons in Darwin (under semi-protest) but none of us certainly did not look like Papi 😂

Swans doing a Manly. Fumbling , bumbling, confused headless chooks. Fu*k me dead.

Pervert!

Ask yer dad about Warrick Capper and his short 'n tight shorts.

I didn't realise it was on (probably because it's almost 11pm) but

Nooooooooooooooooooooo what are you doing swans??? best team all year and now this???

Agree but the fireworks don’t look as good 😉

There's a lot of knock ons in this game of AFL

 

[bob dylan]

Katy Perry's performance 10/10. Absolutely spectacular and probably worth the $6million.

Swans - well its their usual GF rubbish at this stage. Beaten by 12 goals in 2022 and 10 goals in 2014. Can they keep it within 100 is now a point of interest.

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

When they take a mark, I bet they don't bother with knock ons...
We should do likewise in NRL - no knock on if someone comes down with it but once caught or ball hits ground, then normal rules apply

 

[Wombat Junior]

I'll throw out another positive, NO BUNKER.

They had me when I saw Katy Perry's shorts.

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

I wish that ref would stick that whistle where the sun don't shine.
Funny thing is, players ostensibly ignoring it & just playing on regardless...
Well, seemingly so

 

[TJ55]

every year I try to make myself sit through a quarter but I just can’t do it, makes me appreciate the greatest game of all time Rugby League even more

Yes

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Yes

Every time I see Pappy's teeny tiny jersey, this scene starts playing on repeat in my head:
