By Anthony StevensGrand final week isn’t just another week of football – it’s the greatest theatre our game has. For the players, the coaches, and the fans, it’s a blur of colour, noise, nerves and history pressing down on your shoulders. That’s the essence of grand final week: the line between ecstasy and agony is paper thin. That’s the human cost of grand final week, and it’s just as much a part of the story as the celebrations. That’s why grand final week is the greatest week in Australian sport.
