Big weekend of sport – where will you be watching?
If you’re remotely into Aussie sport, you can’t deny this weekend is going to be full on. The big one is the AFL Grand Final tomorrow afternoon.
It’s going to be a cracker of a match. St Kilda haven’t won a premiership since 1966 but have stormed through this competition with 19 wins out of 21. Geelong on the other hand came second on the table but have an illustrious reputation with 7 grand final wins under their belt.
So who will be the victors in this all Victorian final? Yahoo!7 Sport asked that question and has had some varied responses. Most people think that the Cats will win, some such as Marcus B think the margin will be as large as 47 points. Many are hoping for a Saints victory, because after all, 43 years is a long time to wait! It’s such a close race that some people are even considering a draw.
Of course, AFL isn’t the only game on the weekend. Western Sydneysiders are gearing up for a big grudge match in Homebush tonight – Parramatta Eels vs Canterbury Bulldogs. It seems like a pretty even match and the victor will be able to represent Sydney in the grand final next week.
Tomorrow night Melbourne Storm play the Brisbane Broncos in Melbourne. Although the Storm have a great record playing at home (they’ve only lost 5 times in the last 16 games in Melbourne) and are favourites to win, some Answers users are still backing the mighty Broncos.
So where will you be watching these big games? Do you watch your footy from the comfort of your couch or do you like the atmosphere at the pub? Perhaps you’re one of the lucky ones with tickets to the game?

As a grandfather I am almost exhausted looking after and caring for the little ones while my son and daughter work. It can only be the sofa with a cold beer after the hard day is done. Looking after the little mites is perhaps the most exhausting and tiresome work there is, but it gives me immense satisfaction knowing that I am helping out my children in giving them the opportunity to earn which in turn goes for the welfare of their children. At 70 a father all over again.
I like to know who won, but don’t watch footy. I prefer cricket

i think you are a very kind but foolish grandfather at 70 and looking after your son and daughter’s children while you should be out doing something you have erned the right to do…like having a drink with your mates or doing whatever you feel like doing..your grown up children are very selfish for asking you to do this they could put them in nursery school.
