I'm from the U.S.

yes, go ahead and boo.

But, I'm a fan of AFL, and want to learn more about the sport.

I was told a great match to watch was the 89 Grand Final? It was between Hawthorn and...Geelong? not sure...But, my pastor told me it was just ridiculously great.

Can anyone give me other great matches?

I could look up great teams and records and all, but I want to know what matches were the most anticipated. Those are the best ones.

Thanks

  1. Watch any West Coast Eagles match - they are the best.

    Don't watch the teams from Victoria - they are sooks & pansies & you wont learn anything from watching those games.


  2. i've never seen the 89 grandfinal... but any grandfinals are usually good... i mean... they're grandfinals!

    might have to watch that one... some how.... (89)

    the recent eagles/swans games arent too bad

  3. For me, it's the 1980 grand final, love that game.

    But your pastor is right, the '89 is something special, so is the 1967 grand final, many experts regard this game as the best of all time, the video is black and white, but the skill, while not the equal of today's players, is there, it's exciting and Royce Hart, my hero, takes the mark of the year in that game.

    mate they are all good, just get into it, won't take long and you'll be hooked like the rest of us nuts.
