Enjoy the 66 77 and 89 GFs you've seen countless times this Friday Night on 7mate.

I prefer GF Marathons that have a mix of different finals.

 

[footyfan1978]

1954 flag will get a run this year. I imagine not much footage though.
1961 too I suspect as last time Dogs played in a grand final.

 

[FootyJunkie]

2010 Draw - still cool to see, not bored of it yet, drama at the end is still fun to relive

2012 - great final quarter

2008 Q3 - The Premiership Quarter for sure

2005/6 - The Rivalry!

1989 as always - done to death, p*ss it off

1966 as always - zzz

 

[PerfectFooty]

So is this just an opinion thread? or are these games actually going to be aired on seven. if so i don't have a problem with it but it should probably rename to the "finals marathon" rather than the "grand final marathon"

Should give 87 prelim a run
And the final quarter of the 88 elimination final

 

[Rex_Banner]

I was hoping this thread was saying they were replacing the grand final sprint.

Yes, I was looking forward to seeing players run around the oval 105 times as well.

 

[Juggs Magnetic]

Pretty sure it's called the Grand Final marathon because it's on before the grand final. They can show what ever games they want.

More classic prelim and semi finals would be ideal.

Can we make it the commentators doing the running, that'd be worth watching......

 

[nameless]

They already go round in circles endlessly...

BT wouldn't make it a quarter of the way. Someone will pull their hammy.

 

[TedDougChris]

True, but this way there would be falling over and injuries and potentially they'd stop talking due to exhaustion.....

 

[TedDougChris]

BT wouldn't make it a quarter of the way. Someone will pull their hammy.

And BT has gone down like he's been shot..... Which may have actually occurred.

Every club has one winning final...even Fitzroy! That would be my preference.

 

[FootyJunkie]

So who's watching on 7mate? Are they still showing the same old tired crap?
