Where will the 2009 AFL grand final play in Vancouver?

After Setanta sports stopped screening the AFL, and TSN didn't show any significant games in round 22, I wrote to the AFL. This is what they told me with respect to the finals and grand final in vancouver:

"TSN, an affiliate of ESPN, are the current rights holder in Canada for AFL coverage, through to the end of the 2011 season, replacing Setanta Sports. Please visit www.tsn.ca for more information - this weekend they will show the Adelaide v Essendon elimination final on TSN2 and their website, watch.tsn.ca, will stream the St Kilda v Collingwood and Geelong v Western Bulldogs qualifying finals. The Grand Final will also be televised on TSN.
Regards
AFL Broadcasting"

So there you have it! I'd recommend going to Mooses Down under, or The Score on Davie St or the ANZA club on the Friday night - 9:10pm Friday in Van = 2:10pm Saturday at the MCG.

Now I justs need the Bombers to defy all odds and beat Adelaide without a ruckman, then go all the way! Go Dons!
