That's because all of the Pies supporters will be waiting outside with bricks and wooden clubs.

Nah they were all crying in their beer long before than and had vanished in shame down to Olympic park where they were burning down their home.

    Collingwood so that we could resume our tradition of beating them in "record attendance" Grand Finals. I also want to beat them by a point after the siren.

    12 goals in front at half time and win by 15 at the final siren.

    By then there will only be dees supporters in the MCG .

    Lovely!!!!

     

    Come now, surely there are enough "Collingwood losing a grand final" occasions for everyone to get their favourite flavour!

    :)

    I had a real think about my own preference and for me, in a grand final, I think Hawthorn. Beating them solidly but not 'foregone conclusion' margins. Something that took a really heroic effort in the second half that set a few names in history, that would be the way to go.

    Interestingly, at first I just thought Essendon automatically. But y'know, what I'd really like would be to knock them out of finals year... after year... after year. I want them to be our bunnies thinking 'We could win a premiership as long as we don't have to play Melbourne in a Final'.

    Still, that's a long term plan. Essendon might not make finals again for a decade. Their fall is now Carlton-2002 quality and I think Worsfold is a real chance to fall into the same arrogance trap that Pagan and Malthouse did. Hit the heights with a collection of stars, but you can't do the same thing with a broken list.

    Nice to see that the Demonlanders wanting to crush the Pies have now passed those that merely wanted to beat the Tigers!

    88 was bad but 87 still hurts.

    Anyone who's been around for any time at all knows there's only ONE GENUINE rivalry in the AFL.  And, that's Melbourne/Collingwood!!

    As I always say, there's two things that make me happy:

    1.  Melb winning.

    2. Collingwood losing.

    When both things happen in the same game, I'm ecstatic!!

    Do it in another Grand Final?

    UNBELIEVABLE BLISS...!!!!!

    Bring it on!!

    Yep. Waving goodbye to Filth Supporters midway through the 3rd Quarter

    Grand Old Flag sung louder and Louder...

    winning after the Siren might kill me. 

    I want to enjoy the moment! :)

    I'm going Richmond. Mostly because I think we could seriously beat them, and going into the game, the story will be about them rather than us and the hype about them will probably drown out ours (even though it'll be remarkable to see us in a GF too). If we played Collingwood I think we'd lose and seeing Collingwood get up against us on the big day would be seriously hurtful

    No! This post involves too much reality! It's bringing me down after all the beautiful fantasy above.

    I'd say another young exciting team who plays an attractive brand of footy that also has gone without a flag for quite some time, Footscray gets my vote.

    The only grand final I've been to in my life was the 1988 game against Hawthorn. There's nothing I'd love more in my life than to return the favour but smack them by 100+

    Well Barrie you would surely be one of the few here to have experienced that joy from the inside. 

    As others have said, Weiderman playing a key rôle in beating the Pies would be the icing on the cake.  

    Imagine the irony of a Weiderman winning a Norm Smith vs Collingwood.  Surely that would exorcise the curse for ever.

    They would burn down the Lexus Centre, or whatever is is called now.

    Collingwood to compensate (somewhat) for 1958.  Another era of 'Colliwobbles' at the hands of Melbourne would bring great joy to this old fart.

    I voted Richmond but come to think of it it may result in civil war in my family so not sure that's what I really want. Collingwood is the obvious one and I'd love to pay back Essendon for 2000.

    I'd love the Dogs & Saints to get a flag but not at our expense and winning against them would be bittersweet in a way - don't get me wrong I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth but seeing the looks of devastation on the faces of their long suffering supporters wouldn't be as sweet as the schadenfreude of watching the Pies or Bombers lose against us. The Hawks would be great too but really their supporters have had so much success they probably wouldn't be bothered that much. 11 flags in 40 years, losing another one would be like nothing for them.

    Dees finishing 8th with a dream run into the grand final (winning interstate in WA with a hogan goal after the siren , then smashing norf at the G by 100 points,  then beating the pies in the prelim in extra time after the siren) and to come up against the minor premiers hawks  (who've only lost 2 games for the year) in the GF and then running over the them in the final term winning by 7 goals ....

    Fremantle.

    Their supporters are smug latte sipping, cone smoking and dole bludging socialist pillocks.

    If we beat Freo I would paint the 4WD red and blue, fit an extra large bull bar and cut laps around Fremantle with the club song blaring for at least a week.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
