We should get upwards of 75,000. The hype surrounding this game has gone viral and there's so many elements in play.
- the 80's rivalry rekindled - parra winning 9/10 and on a roll - hazem's swansong
- bulldogs revival - Noddy coming back - Hayne's magic
I reckon it's fantastic for league considering the stuff that's gone on this season and quite fitting that at the end of the day the footy does the talking. It's almost like this is the real grand final and will overshadow the excitement of next week.
I hope people will snap up the remaining seats, apparently they've sold 72,000 so far and we can get a full house with lots of noise it'll be unreal. This is what happens in the AFL every 2nd week in Melbourne so it's good we get to bask in it with league.
