Why do Victorians not understand?
The Grand Final is on Sunday! Saturday is of no consequence.
The Melbourne team is even in it and they do not get it.
I normally barrack for the Broncos but this week its the battle of the Origin Captains, Go Queensland, go Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk, Go the Storm.
Cheers
Doug
EDIT: Evidently Western Australians do not get it eitherI got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

Saturday should be a national holiday. Sunday is just the day after.

The Grand Final Series is in Bathurst on the 8th of October Doug......
The Grand Final Series is in Bathurst on the 8th of October Doug.....And it should have still been this weekend, even still have a public holiday to celebrate the race.....
On the Saturday game....Go Sydney, oh me, oh my, I can't believe I said that as a Queenslander....
On the Sunday game....I don't want the Sydney team to win but I can't for the life of me barrack for a Melbourne team as a Queenslander.....
Oh well, That's it for me stirring up the pot....Cheers, crowie

Yes, you're correct Doug, BUT Bathurst has always been the crown for any driver.....
It'll be a little more interesting when the series is changed to "Supercars" as Ford Vs Holden V8's are pretty well gone.....
Hopefully Channel 10 will start becoming "Fan Friendly" and telecasting all the races again like Channel 7 did.....
Apologies for off the football topic but these days couldn't give a hoot about any football code....
Cheers, crowie

That's understandable, Personally I follow the State of origin much closer than the home NRL club competition.
When you and i were growing up in Brisbane's northern suburbs, you may recall that all the good footy players at school wanted to grow up and play for Norths. Nowadays, all the good footballers just want to make it to the draft and play for whoever will have them and pay them.
The last bastion of high level sport which actually means anything - IE people playing for something other than money, and selected by ability and eligibility to represent a certain group is Origin. Everything else, unless I have missed something is all money-driven.
But either way, AFL is just entertainment while NRL is sport
