**** the Dogs,GWS,Sydney,Crows want the Cats to win the flag.

 

[Blind Turn]

Hoping for either GWS v Syd or Doggies v Cats for a purist's GF. Don't want another Vic v Interstater game. Would rather the animosity of 2 Sydney teams smashing it out.

 

[Beerfish]

Thanks Dogs but GWS must win.

 

[vast]

Not when O'Meara costs them 750k and he can't get on the park. As for Mitchell his time is drawing to an end

Think he meant tom mitchell. Still not sure how they get them both. Maybe I overrate tom mitchell

Why?

 

[yaco55]

Hawthorn's 2016 mirrors Geelong's 2014 - Won lots of games including a number of close games, finished in the top 4 with a poor percentage - Both out in straight sets - At least Hawthorn by recruiting Mitchell and O'Meara have correctly identified clear deficiencies in their game.

Why?

Written in the novel titled AFL 2016.

 

[Beerfish]

Why?

Because that's what I want to see happen in the year we had half our team ripped from us. A GWS flag is the most meaningless thing that could happen. Literally nobody will give a shit except the AFL and the joke is on everyone else.

We'll see some good footyball though.

Pains me to post a Jon Ralph tweet but its a stark reminder of were we are at. A club with half the funds of us can do this.

Yep 100% with you on this Beery.

Going to be one of the most lowest GF final crowds in a long time if the Giants make it and if they win it no one will care.

Just woke up to see the Dogs won... between the banned boys coming back for training and the Hawks losing, this is pretty much the best birthday ever.

 

[eDPS]

Only teams I have a connection with are dogs and swans. Grandpa goes for dogs and he is a ripper bloke and my best mate goes for swans if they make the grand final I might be able to go see it live which I've never done before!

disagree. GF crowd will still be capacity. GWS play a great game, no denying their talent

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

why?

1. Dogs are a minnow club
2. GWS are a plastic club that has had the flag given to them on a spoon.
3.Sydney and their COLA built list can get ****ed.
4. Crows meh.

There for I pick Geelong.

I just think a GWS flag will feel meaningless as Beerfish said the only people who will care are the AFL.

A very astute comparison. Found out in the crucible of finals pressure, basically.

 

[yaco55]

More than happy if GWS win the premiership - They play a good and exciting brand of footy - It's shocking to compare GWS and the GC.

 

[Beerfish]

Yep. They are awesome. Dogs v GWS is going to be epic.

How can you not want Bulldogs to win it this year? Cats and Swans have had plenty of chances. I don't like Adelaide and GWS are going to win many flags with a super team.

Bulldogs haven't played in a grand final since 1961, have only played in 2 grand finals with multiple prelim heartbreaks.

They've also had a tough run with injuries this year, yet continue to put in 100% and play for each other.

Take it home Doggies

 

[Beerfish]

Apparently Clarko is having a crack at the umpires..

 

[scanlon]

I can actually enjoy the rest of the finals series without stressing about Hawthorn now! Relieved!

So many injuries yet the doggies are still going strong. Crazy effort. If they lose next week, I can't see the Giants winning on the big day. Massive for Geelong, Sydney and Adelaide. All 3 of them could possible have a flag if they can get through the next 2 games. Not trying to discount GWS, I just feel that they might choke being such an inexperienced side.

So pumped to watch Adelaide V Sydney. Massive game!

30k fine should suffice.

And then you think about Peter Gordon.

It never feels empty if you win an AFL premiership - Especially if the best side wins the premiership.
