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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
