I just realised that theyā€™ve put this on a Sunday night.

In Melbourne.

The day after the AFL Grand FInal.

The week before the NRL Grand Final.

And I think this is rather odd.

Not the FFA by the looks.

Final was always scheduled for next weekend but AAMI Park has fucken monster trucks on and Macarthur have no fans to warrant a home final so they brought it forward a week after the finalists were determined.

309

We would if weā€™re in the final but since we got out normal this tournament doesnt matter

310

Wait, itā€™s on tonight?

I must admit, as a usual cupslut, this year Iā€™ve been about as engaged as the Liberals and Global Warming.

311

So the weekend of the NRL Grand Final was the original plan?

This is just a stupid time of year for it. AFL into NRL into the Bathurst 1000.

312

Yep, Saturday 5th. NRL GF on Sunday 6th.

Itā€™s a long weekend and I guess at least thereā€™d have been no clash with literally any other stadium in the country (VFL done, NRL GF is always at Homebush which we donā€™t need, meaning SFS, Parra and Suncorp all freeā€¦ this weekend youā€™d have potential clashes with NRL prelimā€™s / semiā€™s).

313

I had no idea there was a AFL or NRL final coming up. Where was this posted?

Did anyone tell 10Play that the final is not on next weekend?

316

Weā€™re about to find out. Knowing the game is on is one thing, finding out how to watch it is another. :wink:

317

I will never not be delighted by the fact that the cup has a picture of the cup on it.

Itā€™s on 10 bold, I flicked past it a few times as it just says 10 drama or some bollocks. If you didnā€™t know, there is no way you could stumble on it

319

Iā€™m watching on the FTA channel. Apparently its possible to watch TV that way.

I thought the North Terrace was no more. Or do they just turn up when their club might win something?
