It's the biggest day on the Australian Sporting calendar. 

Both the NRL and AFL Grand Finals are today, the AFL set to kick off first this afternoon. 

Eddie McGuire is synonymous with the sport, and he joined Piney to discuss the big day. 

“It is, you know, I go to the Super Bowl every year. You know, the Kiwis know what it's like when the All Blacks are playing and it's a big game or a Bledisloe Cup or, or a World Cup in these days. That's what it's like.”
