AFL Grand Final - Story Bridge Hotel

Went to the Story Bridge Hotel today to watch the AFL grand final between the Sydney Swans & the West Coast Eagles. Whilst it didn’t phase me which team won, i needed to cheer a team on.

One of my greatest memories of going to the 1989 and 2004 grand finals was the massive roar of the MCG at the conclusion of the national anthem. Possibly the peak of loudness at the venue as both team’s supporters are yelling at their loudest.

I tipped the Swans to win in my tipping comp, but decided to cheer on the Eagles on the day. I was kinda hoping for a draw, just for something special and different. Apparently.. a BIG apparently was that the last draw in a grand final was 29 years ago… and before that was 29 years. I frantically went to put money on, but there is no TAB facility avail at Story Bridge hotel.

Anyways, the Swans came within 1 point of winning the game with the final siren going off in the Swan’s forward 50. So close to a draw!

Dane won our AFL tipping comp this year, cheers to him!
