Decent squad.

Don’t have any interest really. Will likely watch it on tv but haven’t made plans to go.

Mrs bought tickets months ago so i'm going Sunday, but can't say i'm overly excited about it.

Boring as bat shit.

When I was younger I used to watch it a lot. I think the interest was a lot higher then. The games had a lot of spite too.

Hard to get interested when the season has been over for 6 weeks now, and for some supporters over 2 months.. it's cricket season now.

Yeah if it was a week after the gf that would be a better time to have it. Even if it means teams from the final four or something can’t play.

I remember going to Footy Park and watching a match. The Irish threatened to pull out of the series for good because of the thuggery Australia continually played with. Since then it's been no good lol!

It will be nice sitting around the pool reading a book on Sunday

I've gotta cut my toe nails Sunday.

Big issues with the crowd, a sponsor has just been offered 1,000 free tickets!

You could give me free tickets and the first half dozen beers free and I still don’t reckon I bother going.

The season is over......... let it go!

Memo to Gillon

STOP!
JUST F#CKING STOP!

We have the JLT Community Series
We have the home & away regular season
We have the finals series
We have the women’s comp
We have a ridiculously extended draft period
We are about to have AFLX

No none cares about this hybrid shit anymore.
You are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Yours truly
Football supporters everywhere

I cant even get a gig working theere, only other time this year was the SANFL finals not including the GF.
Apparantley tix are down to $18 each now.

Yep and kids free

I actually like the game, and proper Gaelic football, so I'll probably watch it on TV.
But even with a free ticket I'm not sure I'd bother to drive down.
I can get free corporate box access to matches Alberton Oval via an old friend, but so far have never drummed up enough interest to make the trek.

Game is at Adelaide Oval

Thought I'd have a laugh

Asked a mate if he'd like to come to a corporate box with me on Sunday afternoon - free food & beer

"Nah.......... rather go to "Grab a Granny" at the Hood"
