Sorry but I’m simply not one of those people that hates a team for all eternity just because they smashed us yesterday. I’d hate about 17 teams if that were the case. 

Which is why I can hate 17 clubs.

    I’ll  be thinking fondly of Carlscum as Josh Kennedy shatters the Filths backline.

    Equally? So you’ve never barracked for another team in a game? Ever?

    I have this dilemma as well.

    My very nice, sympathetic Collingwood supporting but Melbourne member husband tells me that he is trying his best to get me a ticket to go with him to the GF.

    I really, really do not want to go as I really despise Collingwood and dislike that American bloke plus I really dislike WC. I have a zero care factor about this game.

    We go overseas the Monday after the GF so I am going to invent a crisis at work that needs my undivided attention all day Saturday and give the game a miss altogether. Think I will take myself shopping a buy a consolation prize for our team not making it.?

    Sigh....I am going with my collingwood supporting partner...I was at Perth & saw eagles supporters up “close & personal” ....however I cant abide collingwood..in fact after attending many GF’s....I just don’t care

    It is really hard to get excited. I feel bad for a couple of people that I know who are Collingwood supporters and cannot get a seat. I wish I could give my ticket to one of them but my husband wants to take me and that is that.

    I have only ever been to one other GF and that was Pies vs Geelong which they lost. My most vivid memory of that day was Meatloaf?. Not sure if the Black Eyed Peas will be any better...

    The things we do for love.

    I just wish the boot was on the other foot and I was going to see the Dees play in a GF - then I would be beyond excited.

    This is a really strange thing to say on a forum full of hardcore MFC fans who were still gutted over the result. Sound more like an all round fan of the game than a die hard Melbourne fan.

    Trust me I’m both. I’m a diehard (shattered) Melbourne fan that just loves watching anyone play, particularly a grand final.

    I was bitterly guttered when I missed out on a grand final ticket via AFL members. last Sunday. First grand final I’ve missed since 2003.

    I’ve never been to a Grand Final and had no interest in going after what happened last week but I think if you’ve built up a sort of tradition of going for 15 years straight it would probably hurt to miss it.

    No, not equally.
    Essendon and Collinwood top the list.
    And I barracked for St.Kilda in the 2010 GF. 
    Doesn't mean I didn't hate them and the way they were coached at the time, just means I hated them less than Collingwood.

    Yep, fair enough. Think we’re on the same page. 

    I wish this GF was cancelled.

    Much as I hate WC and their ignorant BOOOOOO supporters, I want to see the Filth lose another one.

    you can usually count on the colliwobbles - so near, so far, so sweet

    but congratulations for beating their own record for the most lost grand finals and pushing it to the amazing figure of 27 - outstanding effort

    Is there an icy atmosphere in the @jane02 household tonight?

    Believe it or not I actually feel sorry for my husband. He was very gracious in defeat. I know if it had happened to Melbourne, I would still be lying in fetal position wailing on the ground. He is a much better loser than I would be.

    I can say the WCE supporters near me were obnoxious.

    Bah to being gracious. Far better  being nasty, resentful and petty in defeat.

    And Jane …. stick some knitting needles under your fingernails for feeling sympathy towards a filth supporter.

    I didn't give a toss. Until the last quarter, and started supporting WC. The brain will do what it wanna do. But I won; hoorah!

    It was good when Darling dropped the ball in the goal square with a minute to go.

    Made the last minute and the final margin even more agonising for the filth ...

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
