Official: Who do you want to win the Grand Final on Saturday?

[Roozee]

Go the Doggies!

 

[JayJ20]

Because, as you can see from the poll, this isn't true. Most are going for the Bulldogs, yes, but as I post this it is 28-9 in favour of the Dogs among neutrals. Hardly the 100% some are making it out to be,

Okay.

Sydney - Sydney fans and salty Adelaide and North fans
Bulldogs - the rest of Australia

 

[Proper Gander]

Swans, but only just. I like Zak Jones. Hope he plays.

Loved that photo with him and Nathan on the latter's Instagram.

Carn the swans

 

[The Swans Blog]

What's this official nonsense? There's already a dozen threads discussing the same thing including the preview thread.

 

[Bollox]

Don't know why people think they need to have an excuse to back the dogs in this weekend.
We know if it was a secret ballot it would be 90% doggies....so get off the fence and say it.

Its perfectly ok to say you like them and want them to win.
Footisclay fans might all be racist nazi punks who decorate their mums granny flat in swastika's....but in the name of free speech and freedom of choice i'm alright with you supporting the romper stompers.

Me ?
I'm not telling how I voted.

 

[raskolnikov]

Queensland neutral on Doggies and Sharks.

Inagine what that would have paid at the start of the year.

 

[Kanga man]

Official results among neutrals are 89-31 in favour of dogs so far.

So officially 3 in every 4 neutrals want the dogs to win and 1 in every 4 officially want the swans to win.

 

[jakson68]

Woof, Woof, Woof Go Doggies

 

[gavaniacono]

As long as the result is in question deep into the last quarter, thatll do me. Quite like both sides and coaches. But if Dogs pull it off, the post game revelry will be something to see.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

The Bulldogs because they haven't won a flag for a long time and I'm still pissed off that Sydney smashed my mob on Friday night so they can * off.

 

[GWBogan]

Neither team.

 

[bugalugs213]

Doesnt matter who wins as long as Sydney lose.

 

[kid_a]

Dogs, too good of a story.

 

[Lockyer24]

Bulldogs so their fans can get a taste and while theyre at it lose the underdog/everyones second favourite team tag. They must be sick of it

 

[Kanga man]

Breakdown of the most pro-Bulldogs states in order. NSW hates the Swans most, while Tassy is the most pro-Swan state.

South Australians and Western Australians prefer the Bulldogs to a greater extent than Victorians

Neutral NSW - 100% Bulldogs, 0% Swans
Neutral SA - 87% Bulldogs, 13% Swans
Neutral WA - 84% Bulldogs, 16% Swans
Neutral Qld/NT - 82% Bulldogs, 18% Swans
Neutral Vics - 73% Bulldogs, 27% Swans
Neutral Tas - 20% Bulldogs, 80% Swans

What's the issue in Tasmania? Hatred of Victoria, perhaps? Upset that the Bulldogs didn't relocate there? Looks to be an issue.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

I think the poll should have an option for "I don't care either way"

+1
Neutral Tasmanian who is, well, neutral in this game.

 

[Dangas]

Neither team.

Of course not.

 

[FootyJunkie]

i want a tie and extra time...

to allow me to put my tie on since one would be needed it for seeing the game in the MCC's Long Room

 

[FootyJunkie]

Dogs, too good of a story.

would only be the second side to ever win a flag after winning 4 consecutive finals (Adelaide 97)

 

[FootyJunkie]

No way. The umpires would figure out a way to duck that up.

looks like the AFL have already addressed this issue

Centre Bounce (even if its a behind), next score wins

 

[Xtreme]

I don't want Buddy to snag another flag but the Swans are heroes in this story while the Bulldogs are the villains. Karma will catch up to them and I most want to see the massive media love in self implode. Its 2013 all over again the no chance team is getting all of the attention while the true team is going under the radar getting ready to go infor the kill.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

I want the Dogs, but think the Swans.

The dogs are happy to be there, the Swans won't be happy until they win.

 

[Gigantic]

I've yet to decide, all I want is a cracking game that goes right down to the wire. I think I'll be cheering for the trailing team throughout the game.
