Are you less excited about this year's GF?

[leon123]

Nah... I reckons its great.

At the Gabba, at night and two Vic teams (in Qld lol) and in the context we were lucky even to have a season this year

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

For anyone saying it’s the best two teams so should be a good game

When was the last time we actually had a highly anticipated GF that was actually a good game?

Yep, Grand Finals are generally over-rated. Great if your side is playing (even better if they're winning), but I've seen too many of them now that just fizzled out. Who knows, maybe this could be the greatest of them all, but I never allow my expectations to rise too high.

 

[Xtreme]

Correct, only way to stream it is via AFL app subscription on mobile device.

And i'm assuming Ch7's coverage is going to be in 720p, just like ... 1996?

I wonder when they'll upgrade to 4K ?

2066 or is that being too generous ?

You know what's funny, i was actually being flippant about it being in 720p. I thought, this will be a good joke!

But then today i saw this;

Sad

We will be the laughing stock of the world with our inferior internet and broadcast quality!

 

[Billy ray]

Hey Channel 7

 

[sobrave]

So to confirm, foxtel and kayo do not have it. Must watch 7 thru an arial like its 1966?

Are you serious? I can't even get channel 7 here. I kept my kayo subscription active for nothing... FFS.

 

[Pistol Night]

Ill be that pissed by the game that even 4K would look like dial up internet buffering anyway

Between Gill pleading for parents to let the kids stay up late to watch the match, MCG turf being sent on an interstate road trip, asking dancers to dance for free and news that they could have an electrical storm during the night which may impact the event........... and crappy broadcast quality it sure was a wise decision having a night grand final in Queensland

 

[eddiesmith]

I can usually get 7, but can't get 9 but tonight's storm knocked out our 7 and ABC feeds it seems! Got a choice of 10, 10 or 10!

 

[HTT]

I can't find one redeeming feature about this game. Not one.

Adelaide aren’t in it?

And of course, they don't even have super slow motion for the ARC. So we get blurred images of the ball going close to a player's hand/fingers!!! Even my old mobile had 960fps which was able to really sow down action....

 

[Papa G]

At least then I'd have someone to barrack against. At the moment all I've got is the hope that certain players, officials or commentators get struck by subtropical lightening. It's a very long shot.

 

[Outtatym]

Not much interest or excitement for me this year. The night game/watching it alone thing/no build up in Melbourne hasn't helped.
Cats for covid cup

 

[10571z]

I’m so against this night grand final. It’s honestly horrendous.

pah beluuhala.... get that through our nights...

 

[10571z]

Grand final day is about getting together with friends for a bbq during the day... this is s**t waiting around and the game finishes at 10 at night.

 

[Golden_6]

Feels like a home and away game to be honest. Maybe it’s because it’s not in Melbourne but no excitement here.

 

[Franc de Borges]

Pretty excited now that it’s Grand Final day. Still not quite the same though. The fact that the game doesn’t start for more than ten hours is probably a factor.

 

[Dogs Rule]

If it was a normal season with full crowds and the GF was during the day, there'd be more buzz even if it were still at the Gabba. fu** you MCG purists.

Just like the first Test of the summer should always be at the Gabba and league origin is out of place in Melbourne, the Grand Final is not the same away from the MCG.

Given we’re now nearly in November I kind of feel a bit like this about the season now.

bugger off dude. the detritus of the wandering footy submoreeee... and you can go the way of Matty Richo...

you asked for a dump and you got it...

 

[LSRU]

Feels like a standard Saturday night game between two very good teams

 

[sobrave]

• Android TV

yeah cool. clowns.

 

[AndrewShawble]

Just glad there is a game on tonight tbh, hopefully it’s a cracker.

Look at the case numbers in Europe/America last few days, the fact we are getting people to this game is a feat.

 

[madmug]

Your team didn't make the GF and now you are having a sook.

It has nothing to do with the GF itself.

If you're not interested in other people's opinions then don't read them. A simple approach for a simple person like yourself.

The AFL chose this night thing for whatever reasons. Clearly tradition means nothing, except when signing 40 year contracts to play at the MCG.

The afternoon 'tradition' of many thousands of real footy people doesn't matter. Once again they show the real fans don't matter to the AFL
