What are your plans for Grand Final Day ?

[Astro_]

The usual BBQ and beers with mates.

Go for a kick at half time and usually don't get back for an hour.

Lucky to watch 20 mins of footy for the day.

Good times!

 

[W.C. Fry]

At the game if we make it. Otherwise BBQ and the rest at mates place. Its always a very pissy day - especially in WA - most parties don't have the bbq before the game coz its a bit too early. So by the time the game is over everyone is well on the way to being smashed on an empty stomach

 

[Twenty 11 Pies]

I'll be at the game. One of the best days of the year. Haven't missed it since 1988.
Hopefully the pies will be there!

 

[Pklz]

Go to a mates house malmsbury and have a BBQ, drink beer, party till we drop and sing Bryan Adam in little to no clothes. Pretty much anything goes on GF day/night for my group of friends.

You forgot the part about pouring petrol down the well and throwing a match down

 

[Alphanumeric]

Well the Eagles have surprised me all season, so hopefully they can do it again and beat the Cats. If we make it I'll be in the coaches box working.

If not I'll be at a mates house doing the standard; beer, BBQ and watching the game.

 

[Le Class]

Having our housewarming party on that day/night.

BBQ, few cartons of beer on ice and our new 60 Inch LED to back it up.
Absolutely can't wait. Highly unlikely.. but may also watching the eagles dominate too

 

[brucetiki]

To be determined still. Probably plan something the day before with a mate or two.

 

[Strike Swiftly]

Barby at my joint. Heap of mates coming over.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

I don't know.

Watch the game with my mate in Ballarat. We are both Collingwood supporters. That will be the plan if the Pies are in it since my girlfriend will want me away because she hates being around when Collingwood plays - especially in a grand final.

If it's not Collingwood then I don't think I'll care that much this season so I might not even watch the game.

 

[ep2018]

At my house by myself, with a beer in one hand and a roll in the other

 

[ScoobySnacks]

BBQ, lots of mates, lots of beers while the game is going, and after it head down to the local and see where the night takes us. Unfortunately I'll be backing it up with a 15 hour work day the Sunday after GF day, hungover as balls. God bless penalty rates.

It is genuinely my favourite day of the year, closely followed by Australia Day (hottest 100 party) and Christmas eve.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

Drunk and somewhere with a TV.

 

[HG Pennypacker]

Roll out of bed just before the first bounce and watch it on ESPN. I used to go to a walkabout when I first moved to London but the general level of filth is a bit hard to bear at that time on a saturday morning (about 5:30am start). Hard to get too fired up if my team aint in it. Usually expect a drunken call from my brother about halfway through which is generally the highlight.

GF day is one thing I do miss about oz.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

A few beers at a BBQ but this year it falls on the long weekend here in SA and my best mate's 21st is on the next night so I might save myself for that.

 

[THRILLHO]

It is genuinely my favourite day of the year, closely followed by Australia Day (hottest 100 party) and Christmas eve.

Good call.

I'll just be doing what I've done most years since 2005. BBQ at my parents place back in Albury, catch up with mates, pretty much an annual reunion of sorts.

If its a good day, spend half-time and most of the third quarter playing kick-to-kick, then jump in the pool. Last year's replay saw us in the pool by 3 quarter time.

Hoping for a repeat of 2008. Gorgeous weather, great game, upset over the heavy favourite.

If North ever make it I'll be at the G but pretty happy to keep chugging along with this tradition for now.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Will go if we are in, otherwise I imagine I will probably attend a BBQ.

 

[zedsdeadbaby]

best way to see it is at an inner city bar...richmond, south melb. great atmosphere and always heaps of frothies.

 

[The Goon]

When I moved to Sydney I was shocked at how different it is up here for the NRL GF. I had expected the same as the AFL in Melbourne - you know - the place is a ghost town during the game. But up here it was just like any other day (this was before they moved it to Sunday night).

There's so much tradition surrounding GF day in Melbourne I hope they never do the play it at night thing.

 

[Whatname]

My plans=

I was once invited to a wedding on grand final day, I didnt go.

 

[Samsara]

BBQ and Beers for me also. Always a great day.

 

[bohdan]

gf day and christmas day are the only 2 days of the year where it is acceptable to be shitfaced by lunchtime

 

[Copernicus]

If Geelong is playing, I will ply myself with some beers to settle the nerves, kiss my wife goodnight and then settle in at around 12:30AM local time and cross my fingers until 3AM.

If we don't make it I think I might set the DVR and go to bed...

 

[robi]

It'll be 9:00 pm Sept. 30th here...and the hubby and I will be watching on ESPN.

If the Hawks and/or the Eagles are there in any fashion that would be awesome.

Hoping for an amazing game.

 

[dixxiee]

If the hawks don't make it, might do some gardening. Weather depending

 

[Franc de Borges]

If Carlton is in I'm at the MCG, otherwise stay at home with a slab and enjoy the best day of the year. It really is Christmas for football fans.

Prefer to stay in as I've been to pubs/BBQ's in the past and I end up smashed and miss the actual game.

Plenty of time to celebrate a Colliwobble with mates afterwards.
