Game Day 2020 AFL Grand Final Discussion - Richmond vs Geelong @ GABBA (24/10/20)

[John the Butcher]

Hope it teams down with rain and the players choke with humidity. Will be watching the night time grass grow here instead. Couldn't care less about a game at the worst stadium in Australia.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Now I understand how my non footy friends can totally miss the fact there’s a game on......avoid all AFL type media and it’s like any other day.

 

[Papa G]

Have any West Australian's pointed out that Perth is the only capital with good weather today?

 

[Traveling_Power]

stuff both teams ...

the only good thing about the Grand final is the Grand final race with Duursma

Go Duursma !!!

 

[Jojay]

This feels like such a Victorian event it's not even funny... strange, considering it's the only GF we'll probably ever see outside of there

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

Have any West Australian's pointed out that Perth is the only capital with good weather today?

Its shaped up to be a lovely afternoon in Melbourne today

 

[WillemDaDrew]

Thank you beautiful Queensland weather.
Bring on the thunder storms and rain on the parade of this corrupt state government and AFL.
Eat a bag Gillion and Annastacia

We're Australia's San Diego.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Would rather slowly lower my balls onto a belt sander than watch this game.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

It's crazy how basically the teams we beat in 2013-14 went on to win the cup or at the least make the GF.

Our players in that group are perennial losers.

 

[AwwThatsApples]

Now that I think of it a Geelong win tonight would hit Motlop hard. I don't know if that would be good or bad for him going into his final contracted year.

 

[Dalfino]

Feeling a bit miserable today. Empty feeling in my gut that we should be playing today and this was our time to rise. **** footy.

 

[tribey]

After avoiding all media over the preceding week and having no intention of watching another game until March 2021, I’ve been roped into Geelong-supporting faux-FIL’s barbecue after all.

I’d rather be temporarily paralysed and watch my testicles be removed and ingested by mangy dogs.

Footy hey!

 

[raptalia]

We're Australia's San Diego.

The way those borders are shaping you are more like Australia's Mexico.

 

[Grave Danger]

Feeling a bit miserable today. Empty feeling in my gut that we should be playing today and this was our time to rise. fu** footy.

I'll probably have it on in the background. With the sound turned down. As I usually do.

 

[RossFC]

This game does not exist.

I'll see everyone next year at the intra-club match.

 

[Papa G]

We're Australia's San Diego.

Go **** yourself San Diego.

Question for all of you. If I was to swap out the channel 7 commentaries for a radio station, what station would be best? I'm leaning to SEN but I honestly haven't listened to much football radio in 2020.

You could do worse than the ABC - unless Kellie Underwood is on the ABC instead of any of the other places she does commentary.

Wild weather set to lash AFL Grand Final

The AFL Grand Final between Geelong and Richmond looked set to be a slippery affair with the heavens opening in Brisbane on Saturday.

www.news.com.au

The biggest game on the AFL calendar is hanging in the balance with damning forecasts set to wreak havoc on the 2020 Grand Final.

A more alarming aspect of the forecasts however show the chance of thunderstorms which could potentially see the biggest game on the calendar either delayed or postponed.


Under the AFL’s Extreme Weather Policy, if lightning is present within 10km of a ground, the match has to be stopped and all players have to head indoors.

The match will then only get back underway once the lightning has vanished from the 10km radius for more than 30 minutes.

“Under the lightning rule they can delay the match by up to an hour,” an AFL spokesperson said.

lol

 

[philreich]

Hoping a free kick is paid against a Richmond defender for a deliberate out of bounds in the dying seconds, and the Geelong player kicks the winner. Then Richmond fans can feel like we did last Friday night.

 

[AwwThatsApples]

Just had this pop up in my recommended. Is my Youtube foreshadowing another 10 week Lynch suspension for the first time in 16 Grand Finals?

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

BT live from the Gabba - 40mils in the last hour and huge puddles covering the ground.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Lets all bow our heads and pray that lightning doesn't strike the patch of hallowed turf.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

That cross to BT said it all - puddles of water all over the ground, cricket covers over the middle and a ****ing sponsors lounge behind the goals taking up an area that would probably fit 300-500 fans.
