Grand Final Fizzer – Draw? What next…

So, it was meant to be the big one today. But guess what? It was a draw, so guess what, again? Instead of going to overtime, which would be the sensible thing to do, the AFL have decided to play another game…

NEXT WEEK! Ugh…

Seriously, stupidest rule ever. I mean apparently only three times [including this time] has a Grand Final ever ended in a draw. It’s just stupid. Even the coaches think it should be decided by overtime.

I guess some bonuses will be that now the Pies can focus on improving on the areas that let them down…*cough*Travis’kickingskills*cough* and come out fighting. Also they’ve been through the fire once they’re sure to be much better placed next week.

But, damn, I don’t think I’ve gotten so emotional over the sport in a long time. I was crying when it was over. Actually I was crying when the Saints were 1 point ahead. That just about killed me.


Anyway, I’m feeling better after that mini-rant…

Hung parliament and hung AFL grand final. What is going on Australia?
