3.42pm: Murphy Reid wins Telstra Half-Time Sprint
5.18pm: Norm Smith Medallist Shaun Mannagh requests trade to Fremantle

And if you were feeling a little apathetic about the game tomorrow, I'm sure this will seal the deal for you...

 

[The Feeder Club]

I'd be very happy to see Reid do a gentle jog in the sprint, lose by 50 metres and walk away uninjured

 

[mike91]

Going to the game. Not overly keen on either team winning.

I expect Geelong to win, but I'll be cheering on the the lions and hoping Rayner is Norm

 

[stax on the mull]

I'm trying to look for positives here, and so whether it's Brisbane or Geelong that wins, they will overtake Hawthorn as having the most premierships this century with 5. (5 is also the most Premierships won by a team since the AFL era began in 1990.)

 

[Kapow!!!]

Decided to play cricket today instead. Probably won't see much if any of the game. I believe my life is probably better for it.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Where have I seen this before?

 

[Dump Truck]

Lachie starting as sub shows he's clearly not fit. Ballsy move by the lions.

 

[PrancingPony]

I love the songs after the goals, I don't understand the disdain for them in BigFooty.

It's a bit of fun.

Lachie starting as sub shows he's clearly not fit. Ballsy move by the lions.

He’s a real selfish prick that Lachie!! Berry showing true sportsmanship and opting out not to play! Lachie should do the same if he actually truely cared about anyone else but himself! No way his calf is ready to go..

 

[serial_thrilla]

Lachie starting as sub shows he's clearly not fit. Ballsy move by the lions.

Between him and Oscar they're carrying two blokes for emotional reasons. Feels like a big risk.

It's a bit of fun.

 

[PrancingPony]

They make that sound like it's a bad thing, that sounds funny as hell.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Lachie starting as sub shows he's clearly not fit. Ballsy move by the lions.

Truly selfish move by Neale.

If we got into the GF we’d be killing the whole vibe with Coldplay

 

[Jezzitizle]

The issue with most audio at sports games is they play it so loud you can’t talk to people around you. Like they want to overwhelm the crowd noise instead of complimenting it, and the people responsible for the audio think they are the show.

 

[Kapow!!!]

They make that sound like it's a bad thing, that sounds funny as hell.

Kinda sounds like it punctures the reverance and sense of occasion of such a moment. Actually, it sounds like it takes the reverance of the moment out back and drowns it in a bucket.

And I'm in favour of the theme songs during H&A games. But here, just, na. The Grand Final needs to feel special, impartial and without gimmick or something to ruin its prestige (this is also coming from someone heavily pro night grand final too)

 

[Tonga Bob]

And if you were feeling a little apathetic about the game tomorrow, I'm sure this will seal the deal for you...

The f*cken Macarena?

 

[PrancingPony]

If we got into the GF we’d be killing the whole vibe with Coldplay

Replace it with ACDC and Metallica and we're good.

 

[Outshined]

Music has it's place. Purple hat at 3QT is awesome.

After every goal though...absolutely not

I'll go back to yelling at the kids to get off the damn footpath now.

 

[largebus]

You can always watch the Ch 7 broadcast using your normal aerial TV where they cut to ads if you don't like goal songs
