Grand Final Poll

[BAMF 4,351]

Who do you want to win? Who do you think will win?

[red&blue1982 255]

I hope the Tiger's smash em!!!

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,503]

I can honestly say I don't mind which team wins, I have nothing strong for or against either.  I'm still looking forward to the match though, as I think they both play an entertaining brand of football.  If I had to guess... I think Adelaide may have too much fire-power up forward, but can definitely see the Tiger's running, pressure game getting them up.

[beelzebub 23,364]

Adelaide by 8 goals. Once the fantasy is put to bed, Crows will put them to the sword. Punt road will run red.

Well done Tiggies for getting there.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,856]

Richmond by 10 goals. 

[Deemented Are Go! 3,677]

Adelaide by 19 points.

M. Crouch Norm Smith.

[Maldonboy38 6,402]

The game will be tight, hard and fierce up to half time, something like 36 - 39 points. Lots of smashing in bodies, big tackles, no space and turnovers from pressure.After that, either the skill of the Crows of the forward pressure of the Tigers will win out. One of the teams to win by about 40 points.

I still reckon that Adelaide is a 4 goal better side than any other team, including Richmond who I have rated all year.

Adelaide by something like 40 points. 

Norm Smith medal. M Crouch

First goal. J Caddy

Tigers will win, they're on a roll.....not sure i can live in a post grand final Richmond world   .....glad im in Ballarat these days... 

[Thehardtackler 785]

I will want to leave the state for 6 months if Richmond win. Having sat in the Cheer Squad many times I can say that Richmond and Essendon have the most unpleasant fans in the league.

[McQueen 17,864]

Going for Richmond for no other reason than it'll give me a chance to draw the tipping comp I'm in.

Think the Crows will be too good by more than 5 goals.

[Sir Why You Little 37,034]

In honour of my Grandad who was born in Kelso St Richmond i will hope the Tigers win. 

But if Adelaide win, no probs

RIP Dean Bailey and Phil Walsh

[Skuit 10,031]

Some of the scheduling hard-ships Richmond have faced this year:

An 8- and a 9-day break in the first five rounds.

Consecutive 6-breaks on one occasion:  with a resultant walloping by Adelaide and a defeat to the Dogs.

A nasty travel schedule of Brisbane and then Adelaide within a one-month block.

Go Crows.

[Whispering_Jack 30,054]

I do hope that no injuries come out of the game, particularly to any members of the Crows' backline.

[Lucifers Hero 39,758]

Lets hope the umpires don't decide who wins this year.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/afl/afl-grand-final-fair-go-for-all-from-the-umpires-at-the-mcg-please/news-story/dd26db5f59740617c8e4847d13e5294b

The league were embarrassed to the point that then-acting AFL general manager of football operations Mark Evans rang Sydney chief executive Andrew Ireland on the Tuesday after the match to apologise for the umpires costing the Swans four goals. The winning margin blew out late to 22 points after the Bulldogs kicked the final two goals in time on of the final quarter.

Kept quiet at the time but quite damning. 

The dynamics are the same this year: i/state club vs a Vic fairy tale story.  I fear for the Crows' chances if the umpires fall for the fairy tale again.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,239]

I hate Richmond!

I hope they either get a jolly good flogging or lose, in controversial circumstances, by a point.

I shall put a bit of hard earned on the Adelaide to win by over 40.

Ha! I lived on Kelso Street for years, number 19. Good spot there in Cremorne...

[GCDee 3,199]

Hate richmond with a passion. 

I can see someone like Richard Douglas popping up with a 4 goal 20 disposal game and winning the norm Smith. 

Adelaide by 24 points... 

Close until the last 10 minutes and junk time Jenkins will come to the party

I also dislike Richmond with a passion. Hope Adelaide thrash them. Went to work yesterday (had to drive through Richmond unfortunately) and all I saw were Richmond flags and posters and Richmond supporters dressed head to toe in yellow and black. (Doesn't anyone in Richmond have a job??). I almost wanted to puke. I do not understand the love for Richmond.
