So who are we going for in the Grand Final ?

[Xtreme]

No Melbourne supporter under 70 years of age has fully appreciated a Melbourne premiership. It's been a very long time. I sincerely hope Melbourne win. It's time for the diehard Demon supporters to see some joy. Life's too short.

Can you imagine getting to watch replays in full colour and maybe (probably not) full HD quality

 

[Brick Loosener]

Dogs.

 

[Monocle]

I don't really care who wins as long as its a good game of football.

As a neutral having two absolute crapola Prelims was a real disappointment.

If either team is 5-6 goals up at quarter time I will switch it off, as I did with the Port V Doggies game.

Just want a good game where the green snot rags just let the game flow and don't pay the tiggy touchwood frees.

A game with a few last quarter lead changes and some moments of brilliance to etch in GF history.

Want the winner decided on football merit and not due to an umpiring interpretation.

Either side by < 12 points would be fantastic.

When picking your side, consider this

As Schofield might say: 'don't forget 2018!'

 

[Elixuh]

Stef Martin

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

When picking your side, consider this

Dim Tim is a Dees man. Yikes.

 

[SurreyBlue]

The 2 best teams of the year are facing off, in what is not only a rare all VIC teams grand final, but two teams that are liked and both deserve to be there. As an unbiased observer, this is the very first time, I actually won’t be barracking for anyone in particular. Hopefully we get a close well fought out game.
My only regret, it’s played interstate and most true blue supporters of both clubs will miss out on the day.

 

[Stringer2Dogs]

dogs, but would love it for gawny and trac if dees did, both classy players and people.

 

[sherb]

Dees.

For Neale & Ron.

 

[Dexter6]

I obviously want my Dogs to win, but I can see win-win scenario regardless:
-If the Dogs win, they move another premiership away from St Kilda, and Scoops will be mad
-If the Dees win, they relinquish the longest acting premiership drought to St Kilda, and Scoops will be mad

 

[OneEyedHawk]

Dees.

For Neale & Ron.

Dees.

For Jim & Robbie.

Flower not playing in, or even getting to see, a flag is just criminally unfair. Shades even Bobby Skilton’s monumentally sad experience of finals footy.

Posted this on the north board


The sadist in me wants the dees to break their drought but their fans not be there to see it or celebrate it

but also fine with the dees getting pumped

A win win situation

Jesus. Who the f*** thinks that way?!

Hahah
(In evil laugh)

 

[Substance]

I'm going for the Dogs, but a loss wouldn't be too bad provided it's a fair one. If we aren't good enough then that's fine, always next year. I have Dees family members and it would be great to see Neale Daniher, Ron Barassi, Max Gawn

and others celebrate one. Not Gary Lyon though.

Football is the winner. Best GF match up we've had since 2011. Two great times filled with good players that play entertaining brands of footy. I just hope it's a competitive game and the consecutive finals games don't take a toll on the Dogs or the lack of games played become a factor for the Dees.

 

[PorcelainBus]

Doggies - they have been shafted with Covid restrictions etc. but still managed to come out on top with a breathtaking performance. Hope they win against the odds. But wouldn't hate a Melbourne win either

 

[Sprout]

Touch and go but I’ll say Melbourne

I don’t mind the Doggies so whilst it will hurt, it won’t hurt nearly as much as certain other clubs. Dogs fans on here are a decent bunch (for the most part) which also helps.

If both teams can bring close to their best we are in for an absolute belter.

 

[Lampers]

When picking your side, consider this

Lifelong Demon here, but this is making me reconsider my allegiance...

 

[HairyO]

I dont much care who wins. I want to see attacking football with both sides taking on the game.

 

[Bald]

I want us to win but I’m happy to let Melbourne have the Norm Smith

 

[Pistol Night]

As Schofield might say: 'don't forget 2018!'

I turned off at quarter time in 2018 too. Everything went to plan I assume?

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

If they'd both had recentish success then the Dogs, I've always had a soft spot for them, but it's Melbourne's time, I'd like to see them win it but wouldn't be massively upset if it were Footscray.

 

[Godzke]

Prefer the Dogs to win ...

running down Petracca or Oliver in forward 50 for a freekick and goal after the siren to win it

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Lol, fairs fair.
I thought I was posting on the WC board (as typically I get alerts about new threads only on the WC board). I usually wouldn't be so forthright in my dislike of a player on the mainboard (except for Selwood).
Probably more my interactions with Melbourne fans this year have tainted my view on him rather than him as a player (and I can't comment on him as a person).

Sad. Nic Nat is still one of my favourite players even in spite of certain WCE fana on this website.
