Here's the question:
Name the four teams who will contest this year's AFL preliminary finals? AND What is unique about these finals?



Adelaide
Fremantle
Sydney
West Coast
What's unique is that Victorian (Melbourne) fans will just have to get drunk and cheer for fuck all since they've got no sides in the contest this year. They do, of course, have plenty of players on the above teams, so they can root for the individuals if not the teams. Personally I've got small money on Sydney...
We have a winner!
Congratulations "Paul."
Answer:
1.West Coast, Sydney, Adelaide and Freo.
2.They all suck because they're interstate teams who robbed Melbourne of a birth.
The AFL merged with the NFL a long time ago, but I would have to guess:
1. New England Patriots
2. New York Jets
3. Denver Broncos
4. Cincinnati Bengals
Where are people planning to watch?
I vote for Chopper, great movie about a great Melbournian...
