It’s AFL grand final time, and many are looking forward to the big stoush featuring Australian Rules’ two best sides.
Nearly 100,000 people will be crammed into the ‘G’, and millions more in Australia and Nauru will be fixated on the action.
We’ll bypass the intermediate finals talk of who will win and the terms WAGS, glitter and red carpet and get down to business.
Most will be focused on the action on field, however there will be some out there who have only a casual interest in AFL. You are the people we’re focusing on here today.
It’s true that betting increases interest in any game. So does alcohol.
Please accept The AFL Grand Final 2015 Drinking Game for your consideration.
Step 1
Purchase a very cheap, generic beer. Recommended is Powers Gold or any 30 pack of cans. Even better, pick up some cleanskins. Why not add a little mystery to the shindig?
The worse the beer, the bigger the punishment, and it’s all about punishment today. You are likely to need at least half a carton per man.
Step 2
Choose a side to support and a seating apparatus that suits.
Step 3
Decide on the ‘penalty nip vessel’. This could be a standard nip glass, port glass, a precise half egg cup, a half clean Vegemite jar, or whatever else. We suggest and recommend the precise half egg.
Step 4
Hand out the following punishments based on events during the game.
An opposition goal – 1 x penalty nip
An opposition goal outside 50 – 2 x penalty nips
Your team kicks a behind (except a rushed behind) – 1 x penalty nip
Your team concedes a rushed behind – 3 x penalty nips
Your team hits the post (either behind or no score) – 2 x penalty nips
Your team gives away a free kick – 1 x penalty nip
Your team gives away a 50 metre free – 4 x penalty nips
Your team is caught holding the ball – yell the mandatory ‘ball’ then add another penalty nip.
Your team kicks out on the full – 2 x penalty nip
Ball up – 1 x penalty nip (both teams)
Step 5
In the event of the other team needing to take a penalty nip, please yell ‘Drink up Eagle/Hawk!’
Past trials of this game have proven that the side that wins doesn’t always reflect the score lines on the day or the headache the next day.
So there’s a sturdy back up plan for those who love their AFL and in particular grand final day. Support a side that never makes the big dance to avoid Sunday hangovers.

Rubbish piece. Diminishes this site, indeed.

Ye gads. How about the slightly more adult drinking game:1. If you're thirsty have a drink (of whatever you feel like beer, Earl Grey, hell do a bear grills and drink your own urine if that's your style) 2. Drink as much or as little as you want when you feel the urge and respect other's rights to make their own choices 3. Don't make an arse of your self. 4. Don't drink drive, you're not Luke hodge. Simple, and unless you're still negotiating puberty, the game of choice.

I find this very strange. Can someone please explain why this site displays responsible drinking advertisements yet will publish an article like this? It begs the question, does this site actually promote responsible drinking or was the purpose of the advertising just a revenue grabbing exercise? Quite clearly the latter, very hypercritical.

He's probably a Hawks fan Don, ahh, the conspiracy circle widens, its bigger than the umpires and the AFL, it includes the Roar moderators now.

How'd you get that word past the moderator? "Pr1ck", Sam Mitchell, Matt Stevic...triple tautology.

Was that because he was playing drinking games (he seemed to be alone) or because he was just an angry, violent man? Stretching a long bow there.

I would suggest, given how he umpired he had the nips before the game. As for what happened last weekend take your blinkers off Don. Or do you think its ok to assault a woman and threaten her kids as long as its done by a Freo supporter? Or are you just still bitter cos your mob lost?

Every time a commentator says "The Birds of Prey do battle", skull. You won't remember the anthem.

Or we could all play the Don Freo game, where you get out your little Sam Mitchell and Matt Stevic voodoo dolls and you prick them with a pin each and every time you realise that Fremantle is not playing in the big game. It would be endless fun, wouldn't it Don? Go Hawks, all the best West Coast, lets have a great game on Saturday and may the best team win.

There's no need to bring Luke Hodge into this.

What happened last weekend? Did Matt Stevic take 4 nips everytime he made a mistake?

My thoughts exactly Edgar. Clicked on the article thinking it couldn't be could it? After what happened last weekend, totally inappropriate.

Suggest an even faster game invented while at uni. 2 teams. Team A - AFL supporters. Team B - Discerning sport fans. Rule 1 - Team A drink on any unforced errors. Incl. dropped marks, missed tackles, fumbles, poor kicks etc. Team B drink on any well executed skills. Aim - if Team A last to the end of the first quarter without passing out, they win. -- Comment from The Roar's iPhone app.
