Opinion Who wins the Premiership? (Updated poll - Updated for Prelims))

[Dr Awkward]

Geelong will obviously be very tough but I think our two big forwards will cause some headaches and now with Prestia in form we a have Bolton and Edwards drifting forward which is dangerous.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Geelong by a goal. Gonna be a good grand final. Ablett will win the norm.

 

[VicBased]

So we haven’t had 100k+ for three consecutive years then? Asking for a friend.

2010, 36,00.....2020.....100,000 .....bandwagoners.

 

[threesixpio]

I’m not sure one could appropriately call this a flag

 

[Madtiger2006]

The Gabba is the same size as the G. Suits us fine. Ratogolea saved Geelong from a 10 goal loss against us recently. He won’t be playing it seems. I’ll back our pressure game 100%. Danger and Geelong struggle with it

You guys owned them in that last game and kept them to 1 goal to 3 quarter time. It it will take some performance to beat Richmond system

 

[WCE Wizard]

Thank you.

I feel like some of these posters that say they can’t enjoy watching the current Richmond style of play are feeling sentimental for a style of play that was superseded years ago.

The Richmond style is chaotic but to me it is more fun to watch than the slower game plans that put a great emphasis on maintaining possession.

And I’m not just saying that because I barrack for Richmond, I like it when other teams play a fast instinctive sort of football, too.

For me, win, lose or draw, watching Shane Edwards

and Edwards are delightful players to watch. They are highly skilled, Bolton in particular can kick goals and has supreme vision. Richmond will take some beating

Our pressure will be up another notch. Bring it on

2010, 36,00.....2020.....100,000 .....bandwagoners.

Name a side that hasn't increased since 2010, and name a side who doesn't increase after a flag?
The Richmond "bandwagon" rubbish is just a myth by salty jealous opposition supporters.

Eagles 2010, 44,000..... 2019, pre flag and Optus access, 90,000.... 2020, 100,000, two team town post flag, needing access to Optus stadium.... bandwagoners?

 

[Red mist]

Just belt the absolute shizen out of each other.
Just play the game on its merits and no flopping from either side.
Again, belt the crap out of each other.

 

[Gavin Excell]

I’m not sure one could appropriately call this a flag

Yes a tough one for Hawks fans
Obviously don't want Geelong to win but on the other hand if Tigers win they are in conversation for best team AFL era.

Not sure where they land

Yes for sure. Tigers game is v hard to crack and they deserve favouritism
Having said that i think we are advantaged by the game being at the Gabba instead of the MCG.
I give us an even chance

gabba is the opposite to kardinia. It’s the same size as the G but even wider. We’ve lost there once in 15 years. Think we’ll have more room to run

More deflection. Friend is still confused. Did we have 100k members 3 years running or not? He’s not interested in your salt.

I am fully behind Geelong, please win. Most I know seem to be going for Richmond though.

 

[MCG-Unit]

Geelong over El Tigre

Not so much about size, more about ground support.

 

[Madtiger2006]

will be 2:1 Richmond lol

 

[PerthBoy86]

I had Geelong as faves almost all year...but recently I'm thinking maybe Richmond. But pretty hard to pick.

 

[queensberryrules]

Of course you don't want it to be. Childish wishful thinking it won't be, when it will.

 

[Gavin Excell]

will be 2:1 Richmond lol

Nil chance of that

 

[Mootsy]

A team with a cat like mascot will prevail.

 

[SuperSteele22]

So either Martin, Riewoldt, Cotchin and co become triple premiership players or Dangerfield's chest will be puffed out even further than what it already is for the next twelve months?

Can't they both lose?

 

[Bill Haverchuck]

cats i think sadly

you saying martin doesnt deserve 3 flags? if we win theres a high chance he wins the norm smith and probably the gary aeyres(?) medal too, and with 3 norm smiths and 3 of the gary medal, theres a good objective argument that he's the best finals player theres ever been. you cant begrudge a player of that quality success. especially since for the last 6 or so years hes been totally clean off field, and doesnt have the smug arrogance of players like dangerfield to hate.
