AFL Grand Final day in Melbourne

It is AFL Grand Final day in Melbourne.  This means a very busy morning to noon and a deaf rest of the day.  It also means plenty of footy banter in the morning and anti footy banter in the afternoon.  It’s an interesting day given the difference between morning and afternoon trade.  Kind of fun to experience.

One year we brought in a TV and played the game live in the shop.  Then we realised that those not at the game or at home or a pub watching the game had no interest.

Now, we engage as people want.  Our team this afternoon will be ready with non-footy even anti-footy banter for those who care less about the Grand Final.

    Why not join the majority- close up fo to the footy or the pub and watch it there?
    Great game touch and go all the way with Ablett making the difference.
    Not an AFL fan normally (come from NSW of course) but thoroughly enjoyed it without preferential bias.
