The best places in Perth from Joondalup to Mandurah to watch the AFL Grand Final

James LiverisEastern Reporter

IT’s a day where it is socially acceptable to scream ‘holding the ball’ next to an innocent bystander, yell ‘McGovern’ in an attempt to shatter glass or claim that you supported Collingwood in the dark ages.

This year’s AFL Grand Final will be played on Saturday, September 29, and bounce down is at 12.30pm.

With the West Coast Eagles about to play in a seventh Grand Final, there is even more incentive for local fans to get down and cheer for their team.
