AFL Grand Final

I always gather there isn't too many sport fans on Oddworld Forums, but this weekend is the AFL Grand Final (Australian Rules Football for those who are not familliar).

I'm a Collingwood supporter, so I'll be going. I managed to score a ticket and they are very difficult to get this year (lots of people are selling them for over $500, but I'd never pay that much).

Is anyone else going, or have a team playing? Or have you been to a AFL Grand Final before?

Well I go for Essendon and you guys screwed us by beating Port in the first round of the finals. But good luck to Collingwood on the weekend, because they are going to need it because there is no way that they will beat Brisbane. But good Luck to them anyway

Oh yaeh I went to the last 2 Grand Finals

I was watching the game today, and Collingwood unfortunately lost, but not by that much, which is a shame.

Yes!!!! By 21 points?

Unfortunately my team lost, but we put in a good effort. And it was not 21 points, it was only 9. We were in the game until probably the last 10 minutes. Usually the Grand Finals are very one sided, so it was good to see that this one was not.

And to be honest, I never thought that Collingwood would have made it this far at the start of the season, as we haven't been in the finals for years and were at the bottom a few years back!

As for the first Grand Final I got to go to, it was a great experience. I was in an area with a lot of Collingwood supporters, but also Brisbane supporters in the next bay, so there was a good atmosphere and lots of chanting going on. I'm glad I got to experience going to a Grand Final.

And anyway ... at least we done better than 14 other teams!
