AFL Grand Final

Okay, so unless you're an Aussie (mainly Victorian) or follow Aussie Rules in another country, you won't know what I'm talking about. Tomorrow is the BIG ONE! Geelong Vs Collingwood (BOOOOOOOO) I personal go for neither, but I hate Collingwood and I don't really follow the footy! Lee (my husband) goes for Geelong. Grand Finals we usually spend with a load of friends, but this year we are having a "quiet one" The husband is VERY excited. Has bought meat from the butchers, has decided that an all day BBQ is in order and we have enough booze to actually have a party! So to everyone out there that is also looking forward to it: Have an awesome day! (unless you go for Collingwood )

Hahahahaha, so many people have said the exact same thing........they don't want Collingwood to win, so "Go the Cats" ( not my teams either )

Enjoy your BBQ and booze, and hopefully you'll have some friends join in the fun

enjoy

Thanks I am sure we will. Lee wants to put some blue and white on Vlad as the poor dog is black and white (Collingwood colours LOL) I'll see if I can find something It is likely we will have people drop by. Lee is a massive Geelong supporter, so win or lose, they'll come to see him! I'm in it for the BBQ and the booze!

Rugby?

AFL aka Australian Rules Football

I will be going to this game tomorrow and I can't wait. Two of the best teams playing off....it should be a good game...just hope the weather is ok.

I'm not happy as my team (Carlton) got knocked out by the stupid team over here (West Coast) 2 weeks ago and then they lost miserably last week.
I almost don't care who wins.
But that was just a lie - Go Cats!!!!!!!
So hate Collingwood

Hey Lee better not let Tony hear you say that.. he LOVES The Eagles!!

personally I couldn't care less.. I grew up with my dad and 3 brothers who were all footy mad. I remember they all barracked for Sturt but I liked Glenelg ( cos I love tigers!! )

Ha ha Vanessa, I'm just a blues girl through and through both Sturt & Carlton. Trevor is a Sturt supporter although all his family are Nth Adelaide, however he's also a one-eyed Crows supporter.
After years of shift work I've lost touch with it (other than "footy tipping" in the last few), but I love to stir the pot, especially at work this last few weeks.

Well, it is now the morning of Grand Final. Lee has his Geelong shirt on, his Geelong hat, the house has begun to be decorated in Geelong colours and we have a Geelong flag in one window. He is about to begin the begin the breakfast BBQ so he is wearing his Geelong apron Dann you are very lucky! Lee would love to be going! Have an awesome day. Two good teams but hopefully Geelong are better because I really don't like Collingwood! Geelong beat them by 96 points a few weeks ago... hopefully can replicate that today

I hope for the sake of mankind that geelong wins!

Me too!!!!!!

Oh me three!!!!!!

And Geelong win!!!! YAY!!!! Silly bogan Collingwood!

sucked in Collingwood!!!

(I suppose Mick M started throwing things around and then started crying... )

I was waiting for it! But no. Eddie McGuire looked like he was blubbing.

Actually he was quite well behaved.
The best was seeing Eddie McG face after the siren

LOL... I waited and waited to see if there would be any more sobbing... but I was disappointed

I did'nt get to see the game, but glad of the final score

Go Cats

YAY! As long as it wasn't Collingwood, I am happy!!! Hope you had a great day! It was freezing today!

Not here in the West.....we had gorgeous weather

LOL. I don't mind the cold, but I was happy to be cosy in my house. I wouldn't have liked being in the cold and rain! My husband would have!

Cold and wet....was wearing a big garbage bag for most of the game...but it was all worth it

Oh and one last pic.....



hehehehe

Cold Pies! Hot Cats!

P.S FYI I went all through primary and secondary school with Joel Selwood, and every one knew from the start that he would end up playing for AFL. and... he is one of the nice guys! (never treated me like all the other jock boys did in school, he is a very nice guy)

Have not got a clue about this thread, but glad you all had a good time

thanks Lynne....it's an Aussie thing!!

and I am loving the pic of Eddie above....aaawwww..........

Did you ask him for any tickets?

I'm assuming you knew Troy, Adam and Scott too.......I've heard stories that even during there days as kids....Joel used to dominate his brothers at footy.

LOL... kind of sucks to be Eddie. He should try being quiet like this a bit more often

yeah I knew all the boys, didn't know any of them as well as I knew joel, haven't spoken to him since year 12 though so no, didnt ask for tix haha.

yeah Joel has always been the winner in the family, though they are all great at sports! his dad ran the Olympic torch through Bendigo when it was held in Sydney.

Awwww, poor Eddie. He's certainly lost his smile for a while
