It’s the big sporting event of the year and after a rocky start to the footy season, this year’s Grand Final between Richmond and Geelong is sure to be a thriller – even if it is in Queensland.
If you’re not planning to throw your own Grand Final bash at home or just want to switch it up from your local pub, we’ve got you covered with a list of the best locations in Perth to soak in all the AFL Grand Final action live on the big screen.
