GRAND FINAL-WHO ARE YOU GOING FOR?

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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?

    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?

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
