    Anyone else excited by the AFL Grand Final this weekend? And are there any London based STW’ers going to a Walkabout to join in the fun at 6am!? 8)

    it’s one of those games you kind of have to grow up watching in order to really understand it, though it’s not that complicated really 😉 They’re supreme athletes AFL players, often covering 20km running in a game!

    I just hope Colingwood don’t win – I couldn’t bear listening to Eddie F&%*ing Maguire for the next year if they are premiers…

    Lucky you! Guessing you’re in Oz then? I’m in London, seriously thought about flying back to Melbourne tomorrow to be there for the game, been a Saints supporter all my life, will be a shame to not be in Melbourne if we win it! 🙁

    Yup, used to love it when it was on terrestrial TV. Kinda lost touch since. Great game though and the players have got to be some of the hardest, fittest sportsmen going.

    As much as I hate the colliewobbles, I think they’ll walk it in.

    Nah, it’s going to be a tough and close one I reckon, both teams are ferocious around the ball, the opening quarter is going to be brutal!

    Yep, it’s pretty nasty stuff, as is XXXX and Fosters for that matter… though, an ice cold VB/XXXX after a hard days work on a really hot day, mmmm, heaven! Not so much for the taste as for the satisfaction 🙂

    If any London based STW AFL fans are up for it, I’ll be at The Junction at 5:30am tomorrow (yes, 5:30 A-bloody-M 😯 ) for the big game… £15 a head, includes a drink and breakfast, plus should be a good AFL crowd as it’s the home of the London Swans… CARN THE SAINTS!! a 1 point win after the siren will suit me just fine! 8)
