Who is Cazaly, and why is he up there?
It’s that time of year — in fact, it’s that One Day in September — when Mike Brady resurfaces to save us all. But how much do you actually know about the great man, and the footy tunes that have soundtracked so many unforgettable days?

When does the AFL grand final start?
A good question! It feels like a long time ago (2019) we had a grand final starting at the traditional early-arvo timeslot, and this year’s is getting underway even later than last year.
The first bouncedown is at 5:15pm AWST/7:15pm AEST. We’ll have official pre-match ceremony and entertainment beginning at 4:22pm AWST/6:22pm AEST, and the final siren will blow somewhere around 7:55pm AWST/9:55pm AEST.
The wait must be tortuous for all you Dees and Dogs fans out there.

2021 AFL grand final: Melbourne v Western Bulldogs
The big day has finally arrived! After a long season, and a longer-than-usual wait since the preliminary final, Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs are all set to play off in the 2021 AFL grand final. And get this – it’s in Perth! You probably know that by now, but it does add an extra layer of intrigue and history to an already intriguing and historic game.
The good news is we’ve got the two best teams of the season playing off in the decider, and it’s bound to be a beauty. We’ve still got plenty of build up to come before bouncedown, so take some time to get comfy and get prepared. We should be in for a fun night.
