Aussie Rules grand final 2005

Is The Arc (or any other pub) showing the Aussie Rules Grand Final live again this year? If so, could you please give us details of when the broadcast starts, etc. The game apparently starts at 14:30 Melbourne time, which is 6:30 am Munich time, but I am a bit confused as to whether that is the actual time of the first center bounce or the start of the opening ceremony or something (which sky didn't bother broadcasting last year).

The Arc will definitely be showing it. Last year the "6.30am start" was when the ball was bounced, so get there 6.20am to get that first Augustiner in your hand and your breakfast order done!

Date: Sat 24th September

we are showing it live complete with bonza brekkie and Oktoberfest Augustiner...

Will Hazza be dressed as Warrick Capper though?

as long as he's dressed i don't care!!!

There's also a replay at 11am for those people who don't wanna get up that early (or stay out that late!!)

Are any of the other AFL Finals games being shown at The Arc before the Grand Final? I'm particularly keen on the seeing the "Showdown" Final between Port Power and the stinking Adelaide Crows this weekend... does anyone know if I have a hope of catching this game on TV anywhere in Munich?

The game is not shown on Sky live. The only game shown live every year is the GF. There is a replay next Friday. We can tape it, but it's not really the same...

It's obviously not on German TV either.

As far as I know it's not possible to watch live anywhere in Europe.

Just a reminder, the Aussie Rules Grand Final will be shown LIVE at The Arc this Saturday. As far as I know, we're the only pub showing it live.

It'll be Sydney v West Coast.

Game starts at 6:30am, but get in before that if you want to guarantee a seat. We will open the doors at around 5:30am. Jason will be doing the fry-up breakfast.

For those of you who don't want to get up that early, we'll be showing full replays of the game at 11am and 4pm...

Hope to see you there...

I'll be there before 6:30.

but do you have roy and hg calling it?
its not the same without them

Well given that you can get JJJ streamed live, we could actually have Roy and HG commentary.

I don't know if it'll be what the masses want though. We could do a quick poll on the morning to see who's interested...

Come on the Swans!!!

Great game! Was anyone else from here there? It was so crowded I didn't recognise anyone.

no .. i missed it as i was in bed knocked up with the oktoberfest flu.. did get to here roy and hg call it on the internet though

I have never seen the pub as packed as I did at 7am on Saturday morning...
