Speaker 3: professional mate, I can sit on the well, what's it?
Speaker 4: What's a soccer and Melbourne Football Derby they're quite electric,
Speaker 4: right A few yes, No.
Speaker 5: They are and I think with the inception of the
Speaker 5: second team in Melbourne a few years back now it
Speaker 5: was Melbourne Heart. Uh, then they came became Melbourne City
Speaker 5: and then ever since then, it's just built up this
Speaker 5: beautiful rivalry and you see across the world. I mean
Speaker 5: some of these massive games that you have round Madrid, Barcelona,
Speaker 5: Boca Juniors against Real Plate and this, you know, for
Speaker 5: Australian football is probably one of the biggest, along with
Speaker 5: maybe Sydney and Western Sydney.
Speaker 3: It really doesn't get bigger than this.
Speaker 5: And when you you know she's selling tickets for a
Speaker 5: Grand Final, I mean as soon as they went live
Speaker 5: on ticket Tech they went, they went pretty quick, so you.
Speaker 3: Know it's going to be jumping. Well, we got a
Speaker 3: couple of spa.
Speaker 5: You know what though, But my mum called me and

Speaker 5: disappointed that I didn't surprise her with a call and

Speaker 4: So we had Auckland which topped the top of the
Speaker 4: table and I'm a bit surprised they're not there, but
Speaker 4: Victory knocked him off last week and so now it's
Speaker 4: a Victory City Grand Final.
Speaker 3: So how does this one sort of how does this
Speaker 3: one go?
Speaker 4: Do you think?
Speaker 3: Well, it's been incredible favorites. Well, it's very.
Speaker 5: Even to be honest, I will say with Melbourne Victory
Speaker 5: doing what they did over in Auckland was pretty amazing
Speaker 5: because Auckland have been really strong all season and to
Speaker 5: win like they did over there, I just feel that
Speaker 5: they're really battle hardened from that match to come to
Speaker 5: a Grand Final. But I will say big matches seems
Speaker 5: to always bring the best out. Melbourne Victory Thompson.
