Thursday morning. This is your town. This is your station. This is Waitley.
Good morning! It's that rare grand final combination that guarantees us the very best qualities associated with a premiership. Greatness, legacy, and immortality. If you love your history, you can't miss. If you're misty-eyed, you'll be drowning in sentiments. The legend of the three-peat or the folklore of the first time. For the neutral fan, take your pick. Both are causes to align with and admire. Fremantle has toiled away for thirty-two seasons, with only brief periods above the parapet. This is the lifelong dream of so many. And should a coach steeped in purple throughout his football life lead the club to the Promised Lands, well it'll have all the feels. Just as it will if Chris Fagan's Lions match the deeds of Lee Matthews' golden generation.
The former will remain the greater team for the cast of iconic figures, but the current generation's feat will be greater. Going the long way round in each season, playing an unprecedented twenty-seven games, and so many big finals away from the GABA, along with champion qualities, this Lions team is renowned for taking the hardest possible road at every turn. The qualities. The qualities in this grand final are so beautiful. It used to be that geography played a role, a pivotal role in this week, but I don't sense that anymore. An all non-Victorian pairing matters not one jot. It's a week we all have a stake in, from the Brownlow to the fanfest here outside the G, and Kylie's long-awaited appearance on an iconic stage from
Our view here, the shiny pink-purple football with Kylie's name on it, and the superstore, which was the most popular venue here at the Footy Fest yesterday. And then the two best teams with history to be written and legacy to be claimed in a grand final awash with sentiments.

Hello.
Good morning, Jared.
How do the hosts discuss the legacy and emotions surrounding the upcoming Grand Final?
Happy grand final week. Trying to park the uh I think in the in the AFL, you're just jealous when you're a coach or a player and you don't want anyone to win. So part of me thinks, just let Fags win another one. But I I obviously I'm I'm out of the uh I'm out of the coaching loop. So I'm trying to just embrace both sides and then not go personal because you know if JL wins a premiership. It takes away a few of my caches back in WA. W I So I've got my eye on what that might look like as well. But I mean overall, it's it's uh this is my only my second year is embracing the whole week, Jared, because normally you just get here from Interstate on a Friday and you you go to the game. So yeah, I I it's just changed so much in 12 years, really, in the time that I left the state and and even this precinct here and and just how people embrace the fact that.
It's a holiday today, which I think's a good thing, isn't it? Yes, it's I the school
holidays at the moment play such a role in the it's just sort of part of the school holiday routine now to come to the fan fest, yep, get down and that everyone wears their own colours, beautiful dynamic to it.
