I'd like Richmond to win, but I think Sydney will be hard to beat.
Who do you think will or want to win the 2017 flag?

Well I guess that proves it then. Port are certainly flag favourites reading that.

Would love to see Richmond or Port win it.
Then Geelong or West Coast.
Then daylight, then Adelaide or Essendon.
Then after a million sunrises, Sydney.
Then after the dawn of a new universe, GWS

Who do I want to see win? GWS. Duh.
If it isn't the Giants, then Adelaide. I prefer it when the best team wins.
Who do I think will win?
Any one of Adelaide, Sydney, GWS or Port in that order.

Port are still winless vs your mob at Adelaide oval. Eagles $2.75 to Ports $1.40 last time I saw the betting.
your sarcasm is noticeable. Port losing to eagles at Adelaide oval wouldn't be a massive choke. Crows losing to GWS would be.
I assure you one thing. Well It wouldn't be a massive call. Swans will make the prelim after beating Essendon then Tigers/cats at mcg

You would presumably claim to be of sound mind? Becuase your reasoning is seriously disturbing.

Giants or Swans.
What point are you trying to make?
That the only reason Port's record against the top 8 is so bad is because they've played most of them away? You do realise you'll have to do that 3 weeks in a row in finals to win it, so what do you expect to change..?
Besides which, the 4 games you've played against top 8 teams at Adelaide Oval, you've lost all 4, so blaming your poor record on a high number of away games is fanciful at best. Deluded at worst.

They had an ordinary finals series last year. Just dont see any real correlation between finals series from one year to the next. Club system matters but I believe it's an "in the moment" kind of thing.

Funnily enough some of the Footy Rag Media were asked to do Their Crystal Ball Finals Predictions a couple of weeks ago for print then you hear them on the Radio or TV and they are completely different.
Pissing with the Wind most of them.

A bigger deal out west.
Adelaide away is just clinging, unless you believe Port are soft enough to go into their shells if someone boo's the... ok, carry on, I agree with you there.
Your best off hoping you win this week instead of worrying what your fate will be the next week.
Because we all know what that will be don't we ?
Can someone explain why GWS are more of a chance to win the GF then Geelong and Richmond according to the bookmakers? Obviously based on the odds Geelong/Richmond is more likely to host a home prelim then GWS and surely the odds of making it to the GF is greater for one of Geelong/Richmond then GWS particularly when they might be playing them at home? Unless they are trying to say if GWS win against Adelaide they would be much shorter odds in the prelim compared to Geelong/Richmond? Just don't understand the logic there

Not sure, but it must be based on the idea that if GWS win then the match is in Sydney. Cant think of anything else. Yet Sydney would be on their side of the draw so a ''home final'' isnt that hot
