GRAND FINAL-WHO ARE YOU GOING FOR?

[TheoX 1,222]

Swans, can't stand Hawthorn.

[Biffen 12,943]

Did like the Swans as a child and always despised the Hawks.

Will be hoping for a Swans win although they are a bunch of rorting scumbags.

They need plenty more flags to catch us up.

Be nice if some ACLs popped today.

Nasty of me I know.

[Clintosaurus 7,843]

Don't really care - will make a profit regardless of who wins. A Sydney win would be better purely for the meltdowns Hawks fans will have. Their sense of entitlement is up there with Bummers fans - just sickening.

[Maldonboy38 6,401]

My dad was born in South Melbourne in 1935 and had to wait his entire life to see a flag. I can't stand what the Swans have done to get Tippet and Buddy, but this Swans team is the best single year team in my living memory. They do not have a flaw across the 22 and that is very difficult to achieve.

Swans by 28 points.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Paul Roos in the back of the Sydney coaching box today.

[Deeoldfart 8,016]

I have enormous respect for the professionalism of both clubs. I'm hoping for a great game today, but I reckon the Swans forward options will win out in the end. Swans by 39 points.

[whatwhat say what 22,744]

Swans by 13. McGlynn for the medal.

[Pirlo 813]

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.

The COLA is already being abolished.

GRAND FINAL DAY!! FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR!

We're all jealous but there's no need to be a [censored].

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

I hope the Swans win because it'll drive another stake into the heart of the NRL.

Sydney-siders are a fickle bunch, and love a winner. AFL's really gaining momentum up here, and a successful Swans team is good for the code IMO.

Swans by 20. Kennedy to win the Norm Smith.

[monoccular 17,425]

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.

It hurts that all of theirs have come since our penultimate one. Basically all through my adult years. Still, my schooldays were a great time to be a Demon fan. Finals every year from prep to year 11.

Better than Essendon in 2000?

[Bobby McKenzie 2,385]

Well i'm going for the mighty bunnies my NRL side next week.

The Bunnies have been a bit Melbourne like haven't they? Not much recent success?

[Maldonboy38 6,401]

Better than Essendon in 2000?

Yes, I think so. I thought Rioli was very flaky and you could get inside his head. This Sydney team is the best single year 22 I have ever seen. The Hawks kicking game and finals experience will be a factor but the Swans have got a unique thing going: they are a team of champions that have merged into a champion team.

Why do we need to drive a stake into the heart of NRL?

Both Australian rules and rugby league have managed to run highly successful competitions for many years and I would think that will continue.

Sydney's current and future success have been heavily underwritten by the AFL at the cost of clubs such as ours.

The code is in no imminent danger whether they are successful or not.

[DemonOX 8,791]

100% ain't gunna be Melbourne so tbh really don't give a shite.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

I just want whoever loses to be robbed in spectacular style and become emotionally scarred from it forever. Too much?

I'm going for Sydney cos if Melbourne can't win it I want no one from Melbourne to win it.

[Demon Jack 6,908]

Hunt wins his heat of the grand final sprint.

[InVINCEable 358]

Swannies, 20 Jack to win the Norm Smith.

[demoniac 1,333]

Swans by 120 points.

Buddy wins Norm Smith.

[Mydee 288]

My main interest in the game is to gauge how far we have to go to be a contender. So far it looks a long long way.

[Cards13 9,117]

The COLA is already being abolished.

They have set it up a different way, it will be given to players earning under $300k.

[Deeoldfart 8,016]

Too late to change my prediction?

Poor 300 k earners
