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

Posted

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 !!!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
