Oh yeah, baby. Frame your suffering as a masterpiece. Only one problem - no one's watching. It's boring, buddy, boring as death.


What the gently caress is this moonball anyway? - Watch this

Today is the last match of the year, a Grand Final if you will. Worth watching even if you don't give a flying gently caress. Drink whenever something you don't really understand happens while you watch men destroy each other on the field oval.

GAME TIMES:



WHERE TO WATCH
You can purchase an online pass to watch the game for $20AU ($14.10US) from WatchAFL.

Here are the local broadcasters and timings.



THE TEAMS
Hawthorn Hawks -
Hawthorn is here to defy every precept of the national competition by winning a third successive flag and in doing so enter the conversation of 'greatest team ever'. The Hawks have taken the long road to their fourth consecutive Grand Final after losing to the Eagles in Perth in week one of the finals.

Their ball use is the best in the competition, and as they showed last week against the Dockers, any mistake gets punished. They love to dominate possession, and when they do, are very hard to beat. After three straight Grand Finals there's no risk of stage fright, so expect the Hawks to bring their absolute best, which is usually good enough.


West Coast Eagles -
Less than three weeks ago, Adam Simpson's men showed the type of suffocating pressure that can upset the Hawks. The much-vaunted defensive 'web' limits the opposition's time and space and can create turnovers en masse.  The Eagles are one step away from completing a fairytale season and winning the club's fourth flag in coach Adam Simpson's second season at the helm. They last won in 2006 and, despite beating the Hawks just three weeks ago, will start underdogs this time.

Their fans have had to travel from the other side of the country to attend, with flights to Melbourne costing more than to London, or driving across some of the most desolate land there is. Pity them if the lose, pity us if they win.



Here's a preview of the pre-game entertainment, throwing back to when these teams last met in a Grand Final.

I went out last night with some Goons and drank beer and whisky from 1pm to 10pm.

I feel like I've been put in a concrete mixer. Meant to head out to Fitzroy now and have a GF party, but I just feel like dying.

Hawthorn is just doing to Western Australia what BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto have been doing for years.

Shouldn't you be hating on Hawthorn considering they're about to win a 3rd straight premiership?

At least they tried. Wurst Coast Weepoops.
