If your team was having a bad season, which game would be your Grand Final?

[Sekaj]

According to Troy Chaplin, the upcoming showdown with the Crows is their Grand Final and it doesn't matter if they don't win another game for the year.

We're not going to make finals so it probably is our Grand Final. I think all our supporters wouldn't care if we lost every other game for the year but won this week, and that's what we want. It's probably a great opportunity, both teams are looking for a win and hopefully we can get that this weekend.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

If we could only win one game for the year, which would we pick - and which would make the year seem pretty much worthwhile even if we won nothing else?

I'd always have thought it would have been Essendon for us, but these days probably Hawthorn. Mind you, beating Collingwood is always nice too (as Mick knows).

Not on the scale of the showdown, though, or Carlton-Colliingwood.

 

[BEEG]

Brisbane or Carlton

The annual Swans/Collingwood fixture at Homebush I spose. Pity we turn into a rabble of schoolgirls each year

 

[drew_j]

Generally ANZAC day

Our Grand Final in 2006 was in Round 22. And we played like it was a Grand Final. Unfortunately, it was the 1994 Grand Final......

Carlton. My mum goes for them - even if they won a Grand Final I would still be able to say "well we beat you in Round __."

 

[fishalenko]

massive game then....

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

whichever team was vying to take wooden spoon off my team....would hate to win that game. draft pick #1 over winning one more game in a pointless season any day. Tanking doesn't exist my butt!

 

[R1KSTA]

id have to say either collingwood, essendon or richmond!!

 

[Neville Bartos]

Bloody kangawhoos. They always make it a tough game and someone always gets reported.

Round 22. Fremantle have only won their final game twice, and even after a bitter season, finishing off with a win in Round 22 still gives you a bit of hope.

Bombers, they have the wood on us, the matchs are usually fair competitive, and often epic. Sadly the coasters usually lose the heartbreakers.

Last year, they helped dent our chances of making top two, and if that were not the case, i think it'd be safe to say the eagles would have been in that grand final and also have had a fair chance of winning it being in the previous two.
It would at least have been a decent spectacle to watch, unlike the crap we ended up seeing.

Even after the angry gods striked with wrath unholy against the west coast eagles, and port power rode a rollercoaster of magic luck, there was only the smallest percentage seperating betweem 2nd and 3rd. Cheers Scotty Lucas, seems like Sheedy did get the last laugh even in defeat.

And thus, the passionate rivalry, and a true one at that, exists for each match between the clubs, and if not for the amazing scragy west coast nullifying abilities of the swans, would probably be our strongest rivalry.

Forget the derby crap with freo, for whom i have absalutely no problem with, as sure, it exists within the same state, but theres no other great reason for hatred. Unlike between Port & Crows, obviously because Port ruled the SANFL and the collective of haters became the crows, & dogged Port out of entering the AFL. But thats a story for another time (or its just been thrashed too much)

 

[Salopek31]

Should Port supporters be looking forward to our 'grand final'?

 

[Alphanumeric]

To beat any team that was on top of the ladder at the time.

This season WCE play Geelong in Geelong, that would be my Grand Final.

This could now become the record grand final margin

I'd say ANZAC Day but that game is basically a bye these days, so I'll have to say Carlton

 

[edgehead47]

IF we were having a bad season I'd say the Derbys of course. The games are much more fun than playing interstate teams and i enjoy beating the eagles a little more. More so this year as I see it as our best chance for a win for the remainder of the season.

 

[thewhippersnapper]

Number one priority is winning the flag.... but after that beating Carlton twice is as good as it gets

You have no idea how much losing to the Bummers twice in one season bites.

Although beating the Pies twice in one season makes me feel slightly better.

 

[Ricketts]

Freo's two grand finals this year have been against us, and they've lost them both in hilarious fashion

Nahh, your team is not worth that tag....our GF is the Derby and we won quite a few lately

They are? Since when! Thats news to me.

Round 22. Fremantle have only won their final game twice, and even after a bitter season, finishing off with a win in Round 22 still gives you a bit of hope.

I would really prefer it if you didn't win Rd 22 this year.

Carlton or Essendon. Preferably Carlton.

There's no such thing as IF they are having a bad season at Fremantle, it's just known as the status quo down there
