Rene Kink played in the GF and lost at Cwood and Essendon but he had a gap year (1982) in between

Did that old bloke say Keeney instead of Heeney. Would sum up Sydney fans.

Last time Sydney kicked 14.11.95 in a prelim they lost the grand final in a blowout.
Next week is a non-event unless you are a Geelong fan. Ollie Henry a premiership player

I'm happy for Grundy
I must be in the minority that I don't mind Sydney.
They deserve to be there. I think everyone would have imagined they would get to the GF, they were the best team for 90% of the year.Apart from a blip at the end. Minor premiers etc. A bit like us last year.
If I had to choose between the teams that are left. I would prefer it to be an interstate side, so I would choose swans
We would never hear the end of it if Geelong won two years after their last flag.

I think we would have done a GWS. Get a lead - go too safe - lose.
Well that’s fu(κεd.
Wanted the doggies to win. That went to sh1t
Then was on the GWS train and it looked really good 18 minutes into the 3rd quarter and we know what happened there.
Finally, my last hope and knowing full well it was with incredible optimism, Port who played their GF last week couldn’t keep up with a side I can’t stand. I cannot believe I’ll be barracking for these campaigners next week as my dislike of Geelong and Brisbane is greater.
One positive of hating all three, means I’ll get to at least see the other two fail.

Dangerfield a premiership captain. Hard pass for me
Couldn't find the remote quick enough when BT started interviewing Papley
You did well to get that far.
I switched off 5 seconds before the siren…

Longmire comes across as a arrogant flog like half of Sydneys list.

Of the three left, I am now officially hoping that Brisbane wins the flag. Why:
a) Swans have Papley.
b) Geelong is coached by an arrogant flog
c) Chris Fagan is not so bad...I like his attitude to his players, like a Grand Father...and we beat them last year.

If Brisbane win GF, our legacy is enhanced.

Can’t say I’ll be happy to see the Swans win a flag, however would be nice to see Grundy get a flag. It’s not even the former player thing, it’s more about how he was part of the 2018 team that came so close. Always a huge fan of all the players in that team and was honestly so happy for the players in that side who finally got a flag last year, so it would be nice to see him get rewarded.
Apart from that, can’t say much satisfaction will come out of either Sydney or Geelong winning for me

My preferences:
1. Brisbane Lions = We beat them last year and I thought their fans for the most part took the defeat well. Also enhances our 2023 achievements.
2. Geelong = Respect the way they've beaten the system over the years despite never bottoming out. Hate the idea of Dangerfield winning a flag as captain and Henry being a Premiership player.
3. Sydney = Hate them. Longmire disrespected Fly, Papley is a dickhead and the way they've taken pot shots at our club over the years has given me the shits. Only positive is Grundy might become a Premiership player which I wouldn't mind seeing.

Yeah, I had left the room before the siren.
But then had to race back in & turn the channel when I heard BT say Papley

Probably mad he only has 1 premiership from 5 grand finals and fly has the same as him already.
Big Charlie has struggled for quite some time, especially when it comes to performing in big games, yet the coach has continued to show great faith in him. It's really been quite amusing to observe, as you pretty much know it's going to happen (Dixon performing badly in such games), but he still gets picked! I'm not sure what his contractual situation is, but Port need to finally move on from him next year.
Interesting comment! The AFL is a fabulous, even and unpredictable competition, the exact opposite of what most big-time soccer leagues are! While for many years now there's usually only been about three teams who are a legitimate chance of winning the EPL title (much of the time there's just been one, really!), while in the last 9 years 7 different teams have won the AFL equivalent. Another 4 teams have played Grand Finals in that time. If Brisbane or Sydney get up that will make it 8 different winners in 10 years. Of course we might get our second Geelong vs Sydney GF in three years, but no-one is dominating these days. Three of the last four premiers have failed to even play finals the following season. Melbourne are the odd one out, but haven't won a finals game since their 2021 triumph.
While they've been in a few Grand Finals, if Sydney win it will be their first flag in 12 years. Geelong might just make it 2 wins in 3 years, so they're doing well of late, but at the moment it's still just one premiership for them since 2011. Hawthorn look like they should be set for a few good years now, but their win a couple of weeks back was the first they've had in a final since 2015. That's a long barren spell, and they're not exactly dominating yet, having finished 6th!
Go Fitzroy, you’re my last hope.
Failing that I’ll barrack for the Grundy Swans
