Barracking for Dorks or Pussies on Saturday?

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.

 

cats for me.. my good mate and home town home grown is playing aswell! go tommy lonergan

 

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.

Cats,

because I F**KING HATE HAWTHORN

[censored] by 100

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.


Surrounded by hawks supporters who tell me that they are born to rule. Apparently it in the bag & an easy 10 goals to buddy,

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.

Geelong... I'm still dirty on '88. Plus Kennetts mob have won too many over the last 30 years.

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


Cats for me.

Hate Kennet, although seeing mitchel who played for my old club winning another after bishop would be good and crawf, but I really hate hawthorn.

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

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 !!!

Cats.

By the way, i've lost my respect for Sam Mitchell, he might be a good footballer, but the number of times i've ignored his wayward elbows and the like have caught up.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
