I just think that two close and very tough games + 3 consecutive weeks of travel will catch up to Brisbane, whereas Sydney haven’t left home since mid-August so I’m backing them to get the job done.

Brisbane by 19 points

Zorko for the Norm Smith

Hipwood first goal

I haven't tipped a grand final wrong since Sydney won in 2012 ... not sure who that is a good omen for.

 

[Lighthouse End]

Who gives a rat's arse, to put not too fine a point on it.
Prefer Brisbane for the sake of Queenscliff boy Darcy Gardner and simply because I like seeing the Toilet Ducks get walloped. Other than that its a case of DILLIGAF for me. Good day for a winery tour.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Honestly? Not sure i'll even watch this one. Not particularly interesting.

We've had one every other year, I still had to grit through it and do this in 2020 & 2021.

All good don’t get wound up by my bipolar posting rubbish. I really couldn’t care less who wins though and will do my best to not watch the game.

Got other stuff on won't be watching

 

[Duck Farmer]

What's a Grand Final?

 

[TazD]

Darcy Fort is playing in a grand final

You mean to tell me a team of 23 AA calibre players isn't required to make a grandfinal?

 

[backtozero]

Should be a really good game.
Brisbane will want to atone for last year and Sydney will be desperate not to lose 4 in 10 years.

Hope Sydney get up. They have less hateable players in their side.

 

[Coobk001]

I never really watch these GFs we should be playing in. Drives me crazy. Imagine had we beaten Geelong and then taken care of Brisbane at home. I would've banked on us taking Sydney at the SCG.

In an alternate reality somewhere we're all celebrating Hinkleys 4 flags.

Unfortunately we're stuck in this one where the coach sucks and is never sacked.

It's pointless posturing that we shoulda/coulda been there when the reality is we were beaten by 84 points at home and about the same during the season by the other team.

It really, really stung watching the 2014 and 2020 GF's. This one isn't the same thing.

Poor Fages doesn't have the cattle

 

[WillemDaDrew]

After losing the prelim I’ve lost all interest tbh.

Though I did tip the Brions at the beginning of the season to take out the GF, so hopefully Syd win.

As for the Katy Perry pre show.
My volume will be set to Zero.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Who doesnt want an aging pop tart lyrical genius try and relaunch her career by endorsing vibrators on tiktok? Its champagne comedy.

 

[bomberclifford]

I’ve scheduled a training session at the pool when the game is on. A near empty gym has more allure than watching the game. Will miss the shit posting in the game day thread though.

 

[rogerjames]

Also think the close come from behind wins may take their toll on the Lions. Should be a cracker of a game. Tipping Swans by 3 goals.

It's certainly tough to stay up for this though, I'm so deflated atm.

 

[afl2004]

1st grand final I'll watch since 2019 , great to see no vics

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Go Swans!

I always like GFs where I don't hate either team and would be happy enough with either one winning. Makes for a nice casual watch. My main reason for supporting the Swans over the Lions is I reckon Fagan winning a flag would be the worst possible outcome for the stability pushers. We'd hear "where would Brisbane be if they'd sacked Fagan??" for decades.

Also let's face it, these Swannies deserve one back. Absolutely robbed in 2016.

Hope its a cracking game and just one more piece of evidence as to how far off we will remain until we sack Hinkley.

 

[rogerjames]

Sydney by 3 goals. Think 2 come from behind wins by the Lions will have taken its toll. Sydney are a very professional club with a hard nosed coach. Everything we aren't. Partner is a Lions supporter so would like to see them win.
