Seeing Rich and Haw didnt qualify - then i dont mind which club of the 8 - wins the Premiership
Re the ones getting stuck into Carlton - back in the day - i allways used to barrack for Carlton when they played Rich in those big finals ( eg 72GF - got very fond memories of that game ) . Carlton used to play class - skillfull exciting football - where as Rich were a rough arrogant club full of Nutter supporters - just like they are today - ha . So the Blues need to win 4 games on the Trot - its a big ask - but if they do - then good luck to them
However the club id like to win the flag is Collingwood - i like the Number one club - who sits on the top of the ladder for basically the whole season to win the Premiership -because they have been the best team which is exactly what the Magpies have been - plus Pendlebury deserves a 2nd flag - and the Maggies have had a pretty strong past 20 yrs - but they need that 2nd flag to get a fair reward for the effort of the past 2 decades - so its Collinwood for me
I never had a problem with Coll supporters- went to Victoria Park 3 or 4 times - sensational atmosphere . I went to a game their - i reckon it was 1970 - and i can still picture this - Billy Goggin took an unapposed o/head mark right in the centre of Victoria Park - and the umpire took the ball off Billy - and the umpire demonstrated with a hipping motion - and Kenny Newlands was standing next to Goggin - and the umpire was saying that Newlands hipped/blocked some Coll bloke out of the play - and they took the ball off us the baarstaards - hah
