    Default 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 either

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

    Really no response necessary, all covered by original post. They just do not understand.

    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

    Cheers

    I thought they moved it because too many people were dying on the way home, quite a few people are off their heads for three days and don't sleep until they get behind the wheel on the trip home.

    Then just support the State of Origin Captain of your choice and hope his team wins

    For some of us none of this is any consequence.
