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

Which is why I can hate 17 clubs.

    Equally? So youā€™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 ā€œclose & personalā€ ....however I cant abide collingwood..in fact after attending many GFā€™s....I just donā€™t careĀ

    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 Iā€™m both.Ā Iā€™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 viaĀ AFL members. last Sunday.Ā First grand final Iā€™ve missed since 2003.

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

    No, not equally.
    Essendon and CollinwoodĀ top the list.
    And I barracked for St.Kilda in the 2010Ā GF.Ā 
    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 weā€™re on the same page.Ā 

    I wish this GF was cancelled.Ā

    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 betterĀ  being nasty, resentful and petty in defeat.

    And Jane ā€¦. 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 lastĀ minute and the final margin even more agonising for the filth ...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyā€™s inclusive bannerā€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodā€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.Ā

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastā€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze ā€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateā€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodā€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
