2016.10.1: AFL Grand Final @ 12:30
Sydney Swans v Western Bulldogs
on the Giant Screen at Caravan
So here we are –
The first day of October with the game's biggest prize up for grabs. It doesn't get any better, especially with two vastly contrasting storylines. In the red and white corner we have the Sydney Swans, an ultra-professional outfit chasing their second title in five years under the guidance of John Longmire. Their brutal first-quarter demolition of Geelong in the preliminary final was a statement of epic proportions. Standing in their way are the courageous Western Bulldogs, who have come from seventh on the ladder in their quest to win their first flag since 1955. It's been a remarkable finals series for Luke Beveridge's men who now seriously believe they can achieve the impossible after their stirring six-point victory over Greater Western Sydney.
