It's Collingwood vs Geelong tonight for the Grand Final championship of the AFL. The Magpies (Collingwood) are the defending champs and finished the ladder with the best record, recording only two losses. Unfortunately, they were both to the Cats (Geelong) who were the class of the league for a few years, winning the Premiership in 2007 and 2009. We are Collingwood fans, by dint of association with Mrs. Daddy's Aussie relations. This is Mick Malthouse' (what a great name) last game, so it is sure to be emotional.
Here is a little inspirational music for tonight's match (this afternoon, if you are reading down under.)
Here is the full version of the song, which gets cut off in the preceding video.
Game is on ESPN2 with a scheduled start time of 9:30 p.m. PDT.
Light blogging as I am exhausted from watching AFL Grand Final last night, one of the most exciting sporting events I have ever witnessed. It was right up there with this year's Lakers-Celtics game 7. Big difference, the NBA finals wouldn't end in a draw, details at my other blog.
