Grand Final 2020 Thread Richmond Vs Geelong / Game Day Thread
- Thread starter BrisTiger24
- Start date
Feel like a cross between a spoilt toddler and a grumpy old man who cant get his head around the fact the world has changed.
But with each watch of the replay, I get more and more angry at the cheesy disco toonz and dancing after goals.
The tiger Roar after a goal is one of the best feelings their is. To replace that with canned noise like a shity poxy soul less 20/20 game is an insult to our great game.
Anyone who argues that the grand final should be at any stadium with less than 100,000 should be laughed at. Atmosphere is what Footy is all about. TV doesn't capture it. 30,000 for a GF is just not good enough. WA and SA can GNGF as well. no debate till they get real stadiums for real sized crowd's.
No PA after a goal ever! Never EVER EVER again!

I'm trying to remember if this is a Gabba thing. Does anyone recall whether they did it in 2019 at the Qualifying final ? I was there but I can't recall one way or another
Glad I had the audio mute for the entire match and didn't realise they were doing that *smile* till I saw the replay.
Heard the bloke from 7 on during the week apparently it was to support Aussie musicians. .. Tony Cochrane initiative I think?
Yep - good call.
Hated it and it was an embarrassment to the game. made it feel like an AFLX game. disgrace.
Playing Justin Bieber at any AFL game, let alone the grand final, is just wrong. It should be a criminal offence
Thanks for the info aoc. That makes sense.
All in on helping Aussie music, Aussie health care could use it also. A big list of industries that all deserve support.
Happy and keen to support and community build!
Next time The AFL should use the AFL website quarter time breaks and Channel seven can use add breaks and pre n post game. Anything other than "the game".
That shizen is part of history now! there forever! Was a massive blunder to allow it.

I also have come to the conclusion that part of the reason we won is because we had no players with man buns. Just shouldn't be allowed . Duursma having one in the prelim is probably the reason he dropped that mark as well, anti man bun karma
And following it up with Britney Spears should be an automatic death penalty.
I hated it too. At the game I hated it. The 5 times I've watched the replay I hate it even more.
The reality is there were a lot of people at the game who were there not for the footy but for the experience/spectacle. Most wouldn't have known what was happening on the field. Including the group of 50+ private school rugby boys drinking their bundy and coke in my area.
I think the music, along with the format of the entertainment, was to appease them. To make them remember the spectacle more fondly.
But this was at the expense of us rusted on AFL tragics who only gave a *smile* about what was happening with the yellow aggot.
Everything old is new again!
I can remember standing behind the goals at Glenferrie. It bucketted down all day, and the ground was a quagmire. I got as wet as a shag but from memory we won.
*smile* Clay kicked the ball along the wing (actually from HBF to HFF). Kicked it maybe 3 or 4 times with a Hawk hot on his heals. I was deeply hurt by the calls of Hawk supporters that "it's not soccer".
Tommy Hafey. What a coach. Wet weather footy at it's best.
Tony Cochrane should be kept as far away from the GF as we can manage it. Fortunately while he’s running the show up there the Suns will never get near one.
I haven't been on PRE much since GF day. I'll go through this thread in more detail at some point.
Just a couple of things I wanna say about the GF:
- when we were 22 points down, I thought we were gone. But after watching the replay a few times, I don't think we were out of the game as much as i thought.
- Dusty’s 4th goal. Yes the game was over and yes the Geelong players were probably not at 100% effort at that point, but that doesn’t diminish the goal much. Think back 10 years. Can anyone think of a goal that tops this? And can anyone think of a better bag of 4 goals than this? all 4 of them were individually brilliant.

Similar *smile* at Metricon. Bad enough all the crap pre game and during breaks at all grounds these days. Pricks just keep on pumping up artificial hype n crap coz some flog in a suit has decided it's non stop entertaining. Bloody *smile* ants completely fail to understand that the footy is the entertainment, the rest of it is nothing more than annoying n distracting garbage.
Septics do it so it must be good, but that's only 'coz most of their sport is boring as bat *smile*.
If I want to listen to music I'll go to a concert.
I go to the football to . . . let's see, why do I go to the footy . . . oh, to watch football funnily enough
