G’day viewers,
Can you smell the anticipation in the air? It’s grand final eve – bigger than Christmas Eve for those of us who worship at the alter of the AFL.
It’s also, of course, a public holiday here in Melbourne, and the excitement is certainly building for tomorrow’s big game between Fremantle and Brisbane Lions.
I took a light jog through the city’s streets before landing at HQ for work today, and although the city was still waking up, there were plenty of signs that the biggest annual sporting event on our calendar was drawing near.
Based on my very un-scientific observations Freo’s purple was the dominant colour I noticed being worn.
Anyway, it’s bound to be a ripper day as we build up to the game, so buckle up join us for the ride, and always feel free to share your thoughts, observations, predictions and story tips in the comments section.
