AFL Grand Final Week



In case you don't have Fox and wondering what the heck I'm going on about in AFL/NRL Grand Final week(s), here's the video of the Adelaide goal.

And who would have thought that five years ago Adelaide newspapers and media would be front and back page football in Grand Final week.

The game takes another leap?

the sydney morning herald didn`t get it. i used to use this paper as one of ways to stay up to date with the local game. but now?

i had to go looking through the a-league section to find a short mention of the game.

glad to see that adelaide is excited. its a pity that the eastern states aren`t matching them. this is a huge win for the whole a-league.

when Mr Cornthwaite scores that goal does he make a weird gesture that symbolizes a certain japanese eye size?

or is it me?

^^^ Personally I didn't read that, I thought perhaps he was putting his hands up to his eyes as people do when they get emotional

Great to see an Australian team make progress. Great to see a relatively strong crowd for a midweek fixture at a ground that isn't exactly accessible and good to see strong media coverage in one of the capital cities

This is good as it helps to pave the way for CCM and NJFC, and hopefully their media do the comp more justice than the papers in Melbourne and Sydney did. Hopefully NEwcastle and Gosford get right into it

And it is good that they will bein the SF at a time in October when AFL and NRL are finished and Cricket hasn't started so it should be able to garner some good coverage
