who do you want to win the GF?

[Anders 14]

I understand there are people who dont give a rats but I usually like to pick a team for GF day (until my Demons finally get there)

I'll be barracking for Geelong. Deserve another flag I feel. Supporters are flogs but the team itself I like.

Saints I could live with, but Milne - I can just see that tiprat collecting his premiership medallion and some awful fist pump salute that is just nauseating to me. No thanks. I'm quite comfortable with St Kilda keeping us company in the 40 year wilderness.

I added a poll - hope you don't mind

Unless there's a team that I particularly dislike I find questions like this hard to answer until I'm watching the game.

Does anyone else find that once they start watching a game they tend to start 'barracking' for a particular side?

However, for the purposes of this I'll say the Cats.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,636]

Reckon I'll go for the Saints.

The Cats have broken their drought and I was glad for them.

Last year their supporters had their hearts broken and would like to see it again this year (where as last year I didn't).

Saints fans are a long suffering breed, 'll be happy for the animals to have their time in the sun

[Ryan Dee 140]

One of my mates put $500 bucks on Geelong to win the Flag at the start of the season and is a chance to collect $1600. IMO those odds don't seem that great considering it was at the start of the season. Anyway I hope Geeling win so I can have a free night of drinks.

[Gorgoroth 12,351]

Cats for me, Best mate is a catter and I don't particularly like the saints that much.

[beelzebub 22,282]

Have a bit of a soft spot for the Sainters.. plus daughter defected to them

Am a bayside boy...bit hard to ignore them

Kinda figure between the Sainters and the Dees I have my post mortality covered

[praha 10,329]

I hate St. Kilda as much as I hate West Coast and Collingwood.

Their supporters are feral, although surprisingly optimistic (despite countless wooden spoons and only 1 flag in 100+ years), and I hate Milne and that arrogant POS Riewoldt.

I hope Geelong win by 10 goals.

[Tatu 416]

Geelong have had there turn.

Hope it's a close game.....

[Jaded No More 58,885]

Hate St Kilda with an absolute passion, and am looking forward to seeing Reiwoldt cry after a big thumping by the hands of Geelong.

Having said that, I hate watching Grand Finals when Melbourne are sitting pretty on the bottom of the ladder

Could not disagree more ...

Both would be very deserving winners, so it's hard to split them - makes for a very exciting day

Riewoldt is a fantastic player who has been a real difference in both finals and has totally stood up as a great captain should - if Watts turns out even nearly as good as him I will cry with happiness.

Cats

[torpedo 33]

Cats.

I've always liked the Geelong Football Club & their supporters.

I don't hate the Saints but I certainly dislike their pretty boy ways & find their supporters are a real fair weather bunch.

I do not think you can call saints supporters "Fair weather" Feral maybe but they have always stuck fat with there team through very barren times .(my Brother) But i think Geelong will win by about 5 goals. they looked so mean on saturday night.

[WonnaJurah 5]

Cats,like to keep Saints in Wilderness n cant stand Milne,but 2 of my mates in the saints (1 playing,1 isnt) so its a hard choice

No doubt Riwdoldt is a brilliant player, so is Judd. But both are knobs and I don't wish either of them success.

Not to mention that Stephen Milne does not deserve to win a flag.

Do you know any of them personally?

[Jaded No More 58,885]

You'd be surprised.

(although we're talking about on field football personalities here)

[Gorgoroth 12,351]

Yeah Milne with a medal is like a ped getting a job in the kindergarten, it's just awful.

I have been to Kadinia prk prob 10+ times watching Melbourne lose them all bar 1 and have always loved the banter down there.

[Still Waiting 94]

Cats by 1 point after scores being even at full time. Ablett gets a dubious free for being shoved aside by Riewoldt or whatever his name is, then manages to bounce through a point right on 2nd siren. Animal enclosure absolutely riots and 6 busloads of Saints heavies, convoy down to Pussyland to wreak havoc.

[e25 5]

Actually I hear the same thing from friends of mine that do know them personally.

Don't profess to myself, though.

Funnily enough, a few of those anti-social footballers at the team I love to hate... well, they're actually decent blokes.

[The O 39]

Saints for me (and also end the long suffering of their supporters), the Cats supporters as the name suggests are ferals. I think they're living proof Tasmanian's can swim!

[Brayshaws' Helmet 143]

I second this, with a vengeance.

Sainters!!!

BTW there's no extra time in the GF - just a replay next week if the scores are even at full time (do you seriously think that the AFL would forego such a bonanza?).

Go Saints.

[old55 21,611]

You'd be surprised.

(although we're talking about on field football personalities here)

IMO Judd and Riewoldt have great on field personas - both are leadership personified.

How did you feel about Nathan Buckley?

?? 2nd siren??

The grand final is replayed a week later. No overtime in the real thing.
