Richmond v Collingwood - who are the neutrals going for?

A fresh tigger side will run rampant and destroy the pies.

And it’ll be fantastic to witness...along with plenty of shots of a seething, red faced Ed in the stands still penciling in his goals in the record even though the game is over.

Eat those ####ers alive.

 

[Fabab]

Tigers.

Don't mind- kick after the siren either way would suit me.

You think Collingwood...cos it would be boring seeing Richmond win again...and then you remember Eddie and any Collingwood supporting mates you have...

The thing about a West Coast-Collingwood GF is that, on one hand I feel both clubs have had a respectful enough rivalry of thrillers for some time now. Keen football observers, club fans and neutrals, will look forward to it based on precedence. Call us the romantics.

On the other hand, a GF between those two supporter bases won't end well. The media will try to ramp it up into something ravenous and nuclear. The complexion of that match up (two big clubs, two popularly maligned clubs) would be used against it, and the worst of the worst from both supporter bases will be loudest. It will turn feral.

Of course, when Richmond is the alternative there will be a bit of that anyway.

I can think of a better reason for a fan of Karl Marx to back Richmond. Check out the votes from the 1943 election. http://psephos.adam-carr.net/countries/a/australia/states/vic/historic/1943assembly.txt

In Collingwood the Communist candidate "only" got 20.5% of the vote. In Richmond they got 31.6%.

I am hoping for a ripping game, no injuries, a game going to the wire and the best team winning.

Lesser of two evils is Richmond winning. If Collingwood win, you'll have 2 cocky supporter groups up and about this preseason.

Stick to the devil you know, Collingwood fans have untapped potential worse than anything you can imagine.

 

[Tadpole]

Richmond for mine. Better the devil you know.

Victorian police are the winners...chance to arrest 90 000 ferals

Collingwood v Melbourne Grand Final.

Richmond.

Their fans are already unbearable and that won’t change regardless of what happens from here, but if the pies win a flag we will have double the nuff on BF.

 

[juss]

I’m sure they would rather go for no-one

BF will be unbearable one way or the other...and that’s coming from a Pies man

GO THE DRAW!

 

[Obeanie1]

I feel dirty saying this but Collingwood.

I blame arrogant Tigers supporters, look what you have turned me into, a Pies supporter for a week.

A Pies v Eagles / Melbourne GF would be a much better game. No clear favorite and someone new wins the flag.

I've never hated Collingwood like I was 'supposed to'.
They got themselves out of debt through hard work and done a great job to get where they are.
I'm obviously not a neutral though.

Pies. I like their players.

How can you not like Pendles, Sidey and Grundy?

Richmond have some absolute wanks. Riewoldt, Caddy & Rance.
