AFL Grand Final Grand Final, 2019: Richmond v GWS

[George]

This will serve as a preview, gameday and autopsy thread.

I am hoping the Tigers get up. As Saints supporters we have a connection with them re Riewoldt & Spud. No other reason I am cheering them on.

But on the other hand wouldn't mind Lenny being part of a premiership.

Should be a cracking game.

 

[StCicatriz]

Giants for me. want an underdog and love it when a team who hasn't won it, wins it

 

[Hubnester]

Go Giants
Worried about injuries and how much tonight's game must have taken it out of them. Fingers crossed with Greene, Whitfield, Cogs (He's a chance, right?) are fit to step in and replace some tired players with some class.

 

[Saint Watto]

It's a tough one for me.

I've had an intense dislike of the Tigers since I was a kid....see.....the Doug Cox affair.....Ian Wilson and Cameron Schwab era.....growing up with arrogant Tiger supporters.

I had to finally concede when they won in 2017.

They starting rising out of the ashes as we were about to burn into the ashes.

Very envious of what they have achieved over the last 6 years.

Disliked immensely the way the Giants were created.....but....that's the way it was done.

I'll only hope the Giants win as I always like to see a different team win each year.....it gives most other teams(ie-us !!! ) hope.

From the Hawks 3 peat it's been: Dogs......Tigers......Eagles.

So begrudgingly.....it's GWS for me.

 

[Cornish]

Go Tiges!!

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

A hard one for me. But the Tigers ended their drought in 2017 and the giants have been more than worthy for 4 years now.

Up the oranges.

 

[nitewalker13]

The MCG will be packed with Tigers supporters.

I like underdogs, I'll be cheering for Giants.

I hope there won't be any drama with AFL's new ARC system.

 

[Sab22]

I hope GWS wins, so we can pouch their players

Big Leg Up Grand Final 2019 between the Priority Draft Picks and the Free Agency Preferences.

Go the oranges!

 

[Hayes4PM]

Giants to win and players to do the Borat dance to the theme song post game please.

 

[BrutThough]

Giants for me. Plus Toby Greene for Norm Smith.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Giants
Not fussed if the tigers get up tho

 

[austinnn]

To win a gf from 6th place would be pretty cool

 

[StFly]

Giants for me. Plus Toby Greene for Norm Smith.

After trailing at 3/4 time and Toby ending the game with 3 eyeballs on his fingers and usurping Juddy with kung fu skills.

That, and my younger sister is insufferable enough without the Tigers winning again...

 

[jwikked]

Don't care who wins, I'll pick a team (likely the underdog) on the day. Just hope it's a close game and interesting. Would hate to have it be finished at quarter time.

 

[gringo2011]

Giants for me. Plus Toby Greene for Norm Smith.

And premiership captain.

 

[From 45]

I hate Richmond as much as I love my kids.
So I'll be hoping Giants win

 

[Impatient Saint]

I love the way the Tigers play and think they will win, but I will be supporting the Giants. They do a wonderful job of growing the game in Canberra and have become a lot of Canberrans 2nd team.

I'm looking forward to the amount of Richmond players that Mumford will illegally flatten. His last game so don't expect him to hold back.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Giants for me too.

Sounds like Whitfield might get through, Greene back, and Coniglio sounds less likely by the day.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I can see the Tigers winning. Giants had a hard slog.

 

[St Neil]

Tigers will be way too strong. They should win easily.

 

[Sniffy Jenkins]

As much as I want Giants to win as underdogs I'm not sure I can accept that if they do they will equal us for Premierships. Can you swallow that pill?

Their first couple seasons getting flogged isnt a hard road. Try being a Saints supporter your whole life.

St Kilda Football club est 1873....(146 years)
1966 Premiership

Greater Western Sydney 2012....(8 years)
2019?

Let it all sink in and get back to me....

Don't see why that would bother you to be honest. Completely different situations, hardly even comparable in my opinion.

 

[MUFKilda]

I expect Tigers to win but will be supporting the Giants.
