  1. The half time entertainment was awesome. The AFL nailed it this year.
    But seriously Ch7, those ad breaks are just painful. Way to ruin the flow and enjoyment of the game – Give the broadcast to Fox Footy who broadcast ad free.
    And what was with that picture quality? The HD channel was almost unwatchable with the pixelation from half time. Whatever they did they shouldn’t do next year. Rip the contract up AFL

  2. The pre match entertainment was in my opinion a joke. 😆 A Grand Final should be showcasing originals not covers. This weekends rage guest programmers Ball Park Music would have been much better along with Hilltop Hoods.

  3. For anyone who is watching it just remember the football has been seen as a priority than bringing stranded Australians home from overseas. Remember that your enjoyment has been as a priority than bringing families back together.

  4. Richmond v Tigers. It’s actually Richmond face Geelong in this year’s GF.
    Nevertheless, I wonder the weather conditions look like for tonight’s GF. There’s talks of t-storms over in Brisbane for tonight.

    1. It’s raining all day here in Victoria, I think Dan Andrews made that happen so we can’t have our friends around for a BBQ and “Get On The Beers” with them. More seriously though, that will be the interesting part as if it is like that in Brisbane then the dew on the ground will come early and more than likely lead to lots of fumbles. Which is the thing I’m not a fan of in a lot of Night Games, even here in Victoria it seems tougher to handle the ball at Night, so yeah could end up a sub-par Grand Final due to the humid thundery conditions.

  5. “Richmond v Tigers” It’s so historic that Richmond are playing themselves, either that or it’s an AFL and NRL crossover hybrid game and it’s Richmond Tigers vs Wests Tigers.
