Title: AFL - 2012 Grand Final [Aussie Rules] Sat 29th Sept
Post by: Wake[of]theBunT on September 26, 2012, 08:54:48 am

It's that time again. The time when Wake descends from a week of hype surrounding Australia's Game. Grand Final week. I come to you every time. I demand satisfaction  ;D

The AFL grand final is played at the home of football. The MCG (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melbourne_Cricket_Ground)  === A ground which is as old as the game, and has held upward of 120,000 capacity in standing room days, now resting on 95 to 98,000 thousand capacity seating on Grand Final day === International viewers on cable usually get to see these big games. Look for it early morning Saturday U.S time.

I wish this sport had more air time in America, along with Rugby. Both very entertaining sports in my opinion.

The game was awesome. I don't particularly like football, but I found myself screaming at my TV because it was so exciting.

Me too. Their comeback in 3rd quarter was irresistible. The run of 5 goals when behind by 28 points.
