Anyone else enjoy Aussie rules; perhaps some Hibees who now live out there? I'm not into American sports, such as NFL and baseball, but I've really gotten into Aussie rules in the past couple of seasons and have adopted St Kilda (perennial underachievers with one title in their history) as my team . Tremendous sport which demands skill, fitness and courage.
New season kicks off in a couple of weeks time - BT Sport has live games

Looks like I'm the only Aussie Rules fan on .net . Grand Final next Saturday, live on BT, Richmond v Great Western Sydney Giants. It's the Giants' first Grand Final; they will be big underdogs, but I hope they do it.

I have BT so might make more of an effort to catch games in the future.There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

I enjoy it. And used to follow it weekly back in the day (30 years ago, jeez) when it was first in Channel 4.
Obviously Hawthorn were the team for me - HFC all the way.
I rarely catch it these days, sadly.
Though now that I think of it I'd STILL say it's my second favourite sport behind the real HFC.
Go Hawks!

I watch it every week mate - the Collingwood v GWS semi was a cracker.
It’s a pity BT scrapped the highlights show this season as I’ve not got the time to watch 3 or 4 live games every weekend but I make sure I watch the finals in full - amazing games.
I’ve not got a team as such - I just enjoy watching.

Sorry I missed this post!
I’m a West Coast Eagles fan. Was at two games in May and was lucky enough to see Liam Ryan’s mark of the year right in front of me.
Was disappointed how we went out but it was a fun season to get into the sport (although obviously I look like a glory hunter after last year... both my sisters live in Perth though.)
I’m actually moving to Brisbane in 3 weeks so will be able to enjoy next season at the Gabba... I’ll still be an Eagles fan though.

Anyone setting the alarm for the final?
I’m just going to record it and watch it later in the afternoon or maybe even on Sunday. Fairly easy to avoid the score.

I think they’re playing games behind closed doors.

Hope Geelong give Richmond a pumping at the weekend. Can’t stand Richmond fans and would be nice to see Ablett retire with a flag and Dangerfield finally get one.

Quite an entertaining first weekend with a few surprising results!
No border closures or restrictions in place at all here just now so fingers crossed for a relatively straight forward season.

I booked up to go down for the Bulldogs v West Coast game last Thursday. Got a case on Saturday. Border closed on Sunday. Missed out on getting to an absolutely phenomenal game.
Looks like we won't be travelling interstate any time soon so my trip to see us play St Kilda in 2 weeks and Collingwood in Perth in 3 weeks are all up the swanny.
Still, I'm liking how we're looking this season... and at least a lockdown allows for plenty of AFL time!
