Preview 2016 AFL Grand Final - Sydney v Western Bulldogs, MCG, 2.10pm, Sat Oct 1

[lollol]

I

Would you settle for a Lion King reference with the Swans being Simba and the Bulldogs being Mufasa ?
The Swans will over throw Mufasa and become the new king of the jungle

I would rather play the role of scarr.

Our gameplan must be simple. Take the umps out of the game.

Sydney 2016 Finals...yeah they hated us every single game.
Footscray 2016 Finals...yeah they loved them every single game.

Over an entire season
Free Kicks FOR :Footscray 2nd, Sydney 11th
Free Kicks AGAINST: Footscray 18th , Sydney 5th

Just how can you be a contested ball winning mob and not give away free kicks ? Are they ball whisperers ?

The umps rolled out the red carpet for the entire first half of their season...every single game.
It wasn't until the media and opposition fans forced a late season stewards enquiry they suddenly got the same treatment as others...at least for a short while.
Unfortunately the finals have brought back the same dream treatment from the umps. They are absolute sweethearts.
We need to be vigilant at all times, and watch out for those sneaky little momentum stopper free kicks the umps love to pay them....then somehow win the ball without ever actually touching any of them.

Not easy but it must be done...also that snivvling little cheat McLean needs to be either knocked out early or given 5m space at all times so the umps don't get the opportunity to punish anyone touching him.

All we ask for is a fair go.

Got your excuses for the final result going the Dog's way out nice and early I see.

Heart,Doggies,head Doggies.
Shown the last 3 weeks against favoured teams on away grounds that they have the mentality to go all the way.

I will be heading into the City if you win and lap it up.

 

[Xtreme]

I

I would rather play the role of scarr.

Could play the circle of life song at the start and conclude it at the end with the Swans lifting the premiership cup

 

[HBF]

Either way it will be close. Less than 15 points.
Honestly cannot tip a winner in this one.

 

[RUNVS]

Swans will win. I am 50% sure of it.

 

[iGNITER]

Anyone have 2 tickets to sell? Mate of mine and his Dad are die hard Dogs supporters and members but couldn't get their hands on tickets.
Just throwing it out there.. You never know if you dont ask.

 

[grouse mate]

Was just in Barkly St. Its unbelievable, every 2nd person has a Dog's jumper on.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Pass. Premiership cup for mine, nothing less.

Making excuses already?

Spot on they know we are going to crush them!

Try the Swans board!!
Only joking dont do that there is not much humour over there!

You seem quite the comedian yourself...

 

[Murraj1966]

Boy the dogs fans are up and about with a bit of strut!

I've never had any confidence around GF Day and for a club in relatively unexplored territory you'd think it'd be the same for the Dogs fans

I will be nice to anyone who an get their hands on 2 tickets for me.
My mate and his Dad are die hards... Went to Perth for the first final and then Sydney for the prelim. Been trying all week but not having much luck.

If I cant be happy this week then when?

What have we got to lose? None of these posts have any influence on what happens in the game so why not have a bit of fun!
Its clear only Kingys squiggle graph has the answers our posting makes no difference.

Yeah no luck at this stage.

Kingy thought we'd win 0 games last year so what the hell does he know.

Yes but he has this fantastic graph that has taken him years of extensive crayon work to develop and in one foul swoop Bevo is destroying it

If you keep a close eye on gumtree and eBay you'll will definitely see some eventually. The price will be very steep though.

Yeah that's the plan mate.
Not sure how much they want to pay but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that buying tickets this close to the game are going to be costly!

 

[Runk]

Yeah no luck at this stage.

Will be rare as hens teeth I reckon mate. Good luck though.

I hope the dogs win with a kick after the siren from McLean, when he kicks his fourth goal of the game - all from high contact frees.

Final free kick count - Dogs 35, Swans 11.

Come on umpires!!!!
