Anyone listening/watching the AFL grand final???

Well, to my surprise I get to listen to the big game tonight (nearly this morning my time now...). Bloody great that the afl website has links to the MMM radio coverage.

Any Aussie's overseas or people interested in Australian football should check out this link:

If that doesn't work... click the green 'live now' button on the main page...

3/4 time and Westcoast are up by 11... Sydney seems to keep coming back though... could be a good finish!

Sydney 8-11-59
Westcoast 10-10-70

Sounds like no team has come from behind after 3/4 time to win since the 70's... Maybe Sydney can keep their momentum... wait, 14 secs into the 4th quarter & they've alredy scored... 5 point game...

... less than 8mins left... Sydney trail by 1pt... Now the Eagles scored... 7pts in favour of the Westcoast... 6mins left... Sydney just scored.... 1pt again! Great game!

- EDIT-

Final score:

Sydney 12-12-84
Westcoast 12-13-85

Westcoast Eagles win by 1 point!!! They won their last premiership in '92...

Who won?

I wonder if this will be broadcast on the Fox Sports Soccer Channel at some time. They have shown some Australian Football and Rugby in the past.

I can't figure out that web site, and I want to go back to bed so I can't start listening to the game.

I will have to catch up on the news later.

I had to find it before I went back to bed,

I thought it was a pretty lacklustre game all told. Then again I was at the 1989 grand final. 😎

They're not showing it these days are they? And the rugby world cup is coming up next year (and we will be defending our championship).

Late nights Peter (or very early morning) yes I have seen rugby and Aussie Football. I don't think they show it live, but they show it.
