Barracking for Dorks or Pussies on Saturday?

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.

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

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

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 !!!

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
