I know it's expensive as **** but as a Freo fan spending a few days to a week in Melbourne soaking up the atmosphere of the first ever grand final would be worth it.

Living overseas now, I always said I'd fly back specifically for a Melbourne Grand Final. People laughed when I told them the possible cost but given free accomodation in Melbourne, it's probably a similar price to the Perth fans.

Speaking of which, have hotels hiked up the prices this week too?

The purple Army has indeed invaded Melbourne, good to see them walking around and soaking up the atmosphere. Pubs is also getting taken over as well. Saw a whole family with Freo colours they looked Slick and ready to have a good experience as it was their first time in melbourne, they asked me for directions to the Aquarium. Then the dad asked me who do i want to win and told him don't be shocked if you find more melburnians barracking for freo than The hawks. You Go wharfies I hope they win their first flag.:)

This message is not directed at Freo fans specifically, but rather any of the many extra folks that are in the city at the moment, presumably for the grand final.

Please stop wandering aimlessly around the footpaths with no regard for your fellow man.

Thanks ;)

It would be an absolutely tremendous farce. Made great sense in an all Vic comp, but if it happens in an all-interstate or mixed Vic/non-Vic match, oh boy will hell break loose. In the first instance, an 80k crowd for the replay, for the latter, massive and completely arbitrary advantage handed to one team.
If I thought there was a chance in hell of snaring a ticket to any Grand Final for certain I'd drive across. Wouldn't have to be a Collingwood game.
