I'm not going for Hawthorn or Sydney! I will be hoping the team with SMFC on the back of their jumpers comes out on top. SOUTH MELBOURNE!!!

We can't have Hawthorn equalling our total premierships won can we? South Melbourne to win by 17 points.

For once I am rather ambivalent about this one.

I have until this year had a great respect for the Swans, but the blatant misuse of the spirit of the COLA in buying Tippett then Franklin has me saying enough is enough.

However ... the Hawks?? If they do beat the Swans, I hope Roughead has a big day out and Franklin an absolute stinker.

Is there a game this weekend ?

Flip a coin I say, they are so evenly matched. Can't believe the betting agencies have the Swans so much in front. But what would I know, the Hawks seem blessed to me, Port could have blown them away if they kicked straight last week in the first quarter and then ran all over them at the end but lost. My bet tomorrow is that Buddy will have a 3 goal 7 effort rather than the reverse and give the Hawks hope till the end.

Lose-lose situation. I'm with Monoccular.

Dawks win yet another flag? Ugh...

Would prefer Swans, but hate the sight of Buddy when he scores a goal: the out thrust arms, the wiggling fingers, the arrogant strut. Revolting. Reach for the bucket.

Was looking at some past grand final on TV tonight. The players back then seemed so humble by comparison.

I'm not watching a minute of it tomorrow. Will have a quiet kick with my daughters down the park.

Hawks for me. Swans have been scamming the system for years and the Hawks have been just bona fide good and honest top line competitors just like I wish we were. But I know for sure who Roos is barracking for.

Completely ambivalent. Living in Sydney at the moment, so if I go out to a pub here to watch I'd best pretend to support the Swans, lest I get bashed!

ill probably be so drunk by 3/4 time that i wont care....

However, the thought of the hawks equaling us for flags hurts so ill be going for the swannies. thats reason enough i guess.

i think the hawks will pinch it though.

I am a 44 year old Melbourne fan.

I have 1 brother. He is a 55 year old Hawthorn fan.

We grew up in Camberwell deep in Hawthorn territory.

I went to the 1988 Grand Final with my brother.

Anyone but bloody Hawthorn.

I am hoping the Hawks are 5 points up deep in the last quarter. Buddy takes a mark 70 metres out. The siren goes. Buddy runs out wide on his natural arc. The umpire fails to call play on. Buddy dobs it.

I do love my brother!

Snagged $4 on the Hawks To Win so I thought 'why not?' Not much else riding on this game for me though - the past few years I've always backed the Hawks in because of my Grandfather and his passion for them but since he's passed my allegiance has dissipated - he also lost a lot of love for the game in his later years since it's changed a lot since he was playing.

Also wouldn't mind seeing Sydney win as I think it might create an interesting 'No more COLA' movement if they were to run over the Hawks easily - more football drama that doesn't involve the Dees but something that might help us out in the short/long term.

I think when your that good, you can strut as much as you want.

    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.

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.

    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)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    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
