It's not a Grand Final for me if I don't have a couple or three, visit the barbie regularly and yell out support for one team.

(Imagining its Melbourne in different colours!)

For me there's no choice.

I hope the Cats win by 40 plus.

I'm working in Geelong at the moment, for a company that sponsors the Cats. If I barracked for anyone else on Saturday I'll be an outcast for life.

Oh and I hate Hawthorn.

I like both teams because they represent what can be achieved by a rebuild and give me hope. How many established players have either team picked up from other clubs, not many.

Dew, Guerra, Croad (sort of), Mooney, Ottens.

Good recruiting and development, hard work and discipline, toughness. A good blueprint for the dees to follow.

Cats for mine.

Sorry to buck the trend here, but i am hoping for a Hawks win.

Cats supporters have gone from hopeful last year, to just down right arrogant this year.

Same thing will happen with the Hawks next year if they win, and then i'll be hoping they lose.

Couldn't care who wins, I'll probably watch the game but care factor=0 on the result. I'm hoping the biff makes a reapperance though just to make it entertaining.

I always barrack for the Victorian team in a Grand Final. There's only one playing this week, so I'll be barracking for the Cats. By the way, I'm probably the biggest Tom Harley fan in Australia, and I'm pretty sure he plays for the Cats, too.

But I hate the GEE-long chant with a passion! It's Juh-long, not GEE-Long, for Godsake!

I'm barracking for a good game. This has been the worst finals series since 1969. If the Grand Final is a thrashing, the 2008 finals series could well go down as the worst finals series of all time.

if it is anything like the last gf both teams were in , in 1989, boy it will be good , nothing beats that grand final

Dont like the Hawks because of my arsewipe of a brother! But love Shane Crawford. Would'nt mind the Cat's winning it again. The best team all year by far!

Having said all that!

I would like the Crawf to hold up that cup!

That's a good point. With an average margin of about 40 points, it's been a pretty crappy couple of weeks of footy.

Cats for me.

Hawthorn are already considerably more arrogant than the Cats, and they haven't won anything yet.

My ideal result would be not so much a massive blowout but rather the Hawks giving their all, doing their best, putting in 110% and bleeding for the jumper etc... and still never really having a sniff. Margin of 31 from start to finish would suit me.

Would be very surprised if the Cats dont win 3 flags in a row

I can also see them breaking their own 23 games without loss record

Just like last year the cats will win easily

Hawks are just not quite a complete 4 quarter team yet

Watching the Dees this year pretty much drained me of any interest in footy for the short term. I'm on end of season break already, don't know if I'll even bother to watch.

Correct, an absolute classic that had it all. For me, I hope it will live up to that game. Cats by 17 points. In a relatively close game that will stay close until the end of the last quarter, experience the difference. Jimmy Bartel for the Norm Smith.

As pantaloons mentioned, this has been such an incredibly boring finals series, which is odd considering how exciting and even the home and away series was (for teams between 4th and 12th, obviously not for us).

I've been on Geelong's bandwagon all year, but they're getting a bit arrogant to me. Plus I'd like to see Crawford win too. But I just can't barrack for Jeff Kennett's team. So I'm going for Geelong.

GO CATS.... hope they smash Hawks very early. :lol:

Who wants to see the smug arrogant faced Kennett :angry: , should hawks win... NOT ME. Kennett picked on our mighty club, so I hope the "thug" hawks get belted !!!

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
