00:00Well, it's going to be a busy day here at Sydney Domestic Airport.
00:05We're expecting to see 80,000 passengers travel through this airport today, given we are on
00:11the eve of the AFL Grand Final, but also we're reaching the start of the school holiday.
00:17So it's going to be absolutely busy here at the airport today.
00:21A lot of Sydney fans in the house as well, a lot of people wandering around with their
00:25scarves and their hats, trying to catch their flights, trying to catch the parade this afternoon
00:29in Melbourne, or so they are trying to catch the Grand Final if they're lucky enough to
00:34have tickets.
00:35In terms of the Sydney Swans, things are looking pretty good for them, although anything can
00:39happen in a match against the Brisbane Lions.
00:41The Sydney Swans have had really good form this season, a bit of a lull in the back half,
00:45but they've really picked up their game.
00:47In terms of the Sydney Swans' captain though, Callum Mills, we heard earlier this week,
00:51has ruled out of playing, which is a huge blow to the team, as well as Taylor Adams,
00:56which is a bit of a disappointment, but nevertheless, the Swans will push through.
01:02We managed to catch up with a few people waiting in lines to their flight to Melbourne to catch
01:07the game.
01:08Take a listen.
01:09Feeling so pumped, super excited, and yeah, I think we'll get the win this time.
01:15Feeling confident, a little bit nervous, but confident.
01:18I think we've got the team that's had the form most of the year, and we should beat
01:22them.
01:23We only lost by a couple of points to them last time we played them, but I think we've
01:24got their measure this time.
01:26Some fans of the Swans feeling confident, some feeling a little bit nervous.
01:30I haven't managed to meet any Brisbane Lions fans just this year, but you know, it could
01:34be bias because we are at the Sydney domestic airport, but things are looking pretty good,
01:40lots of excitement building in the air, ready for a big weekend ahead with the AFL Grand
01:46Final.
