Just wondering what people think. I started to get into the game in the mid 90s, and with the exception of 99 and some of the Hawks 3peat I've watched most.
But for me
1997 - Not neutral
1998 - Not neutral
1999 - Neutral - No strong feelings either way about Carlton and North.
2000 - Melbourne - Wanted the upset
2001 - Brisbane - Didn't want Essendon tying the Crows back-to-back in the AFL era
2002 - Collingwood - Didnt want Brisbane tying the Crows back-to-back in the AFL era
2003 - Collingwood - Didnt want Brisbane beating the Crows back-to-back in the AFL era
2004 - Brisbane - Wanted to see history in the making
2005 - West Coast - If we were going to lose in the PF, I wanted it to be to the best
2006 - West Coast - If we were going to lose in the PF, I wanted it to be to the best
2007 - Port Adelaide - SA pride (Lived in NSW and hadnt lived the rivalry yet)
2008 - Hawthorn - Just wanted the upset
2009 - Geelong - I hated the way St Kilda played and wanted Geelong to beat them
2010 - Draw - I was telling people going into the week I wanted a draw because St Kilda cant win premierships and Collingwood cant win them in September.
2011 - Geelong - Loved the idea of a team only losing to 1 team all year. Had a very juniors feel about that
2012 - Sydney - I had a negative experience with a Hawthorn fan in 09 and wanted them to lose
2013 - Fremantle - As above
2014 - Sydney - as above
2015 - West Coast - As above
2016 - Western Bulldogs - Wanted the fairytale.........Until about half time where the one way umpiring was pissing me off so I switched
2017 - Not neutral
2018 - Collingwood - I wanted the worse team, who was based at the MCG to win it at home when they dont deserve the advantage to (in my mind) hopefully expediate the GF leaving the MCG monopoly
2019 - GWS - Wanted to see them win their first.
2020 - Neutral - Dislike both clubs about equally.
