Preview Who are the neutrals supporting and why?

[Tbone McGraw]

I am interested in who the neutrals are supporting this week.

I assume most Vic's, Bris supporters and swans supporters will support West Coast.

Pies may have the support of freo fans.

However, I would love to hear reasons why you will be supporting either team.

Edit:Sorry mods, please merge or delete as I didn't see other thread.

OP underestimates the amount of people who dislike WC (even more than Collingwood when they live in Victoria)

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Probably West Coast but more just so I won’t have to hear about it, no real underdog, both have had recentish success, no long term champs who you’d love to see get one, neither have had particularly long builds, neither have played particularly exciting football for the season. Slightly like the idea of the true key forward double getting a flag for the first time since Hawthorn 08.

West Coast cause I put money on them for the flag earlier in the year

Pies are hated by most supporters in Vic.

I live is Sydney and everyone hates us.

 

[Back One Out]

I support whoever doesn’t start another f****** thread on this subject

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

West Coast because W.A.

Interstate fans have a warped perception of what Victorians like and hate. Most of us will be barracking hard for West Coast. The big Vic clubs won’t have the support of neutral Vics.

 

[TJ Hendricks]

Collingwood and Mason Cox

West coast because how dare Collingwood do that to us!!!

Collingwood.
1-Get to welcome another team to the 16 club, and add some spice to the "who gets to 17 first" discussion......its been a dull conversation this past 2 decades.
2-Ess v WCE & Marghetts. that game still sticks in my craw. I'm not ready to support the Eagles yet.
3-Stephenson to become the 1st Rising Star winner to win a premiership medal in the same year.
4-2 time premiership captain Scott Pendlebury....hard to ignore that when acknowledging just how good this guy is.
5-Treloar....so people can stop bringing up the list quote. Kid wasn't wrong at the time and he isn't wrong now.
6-Half the family goes for Collingwood.
7-Want to see a kid try get a premiership medal over Cox's head
8-People thought Dimma should go in 2016. People thought Bucks should go in 2017. Pies win this, i'm starting a faux board challenge at the Dons to remove Woosha. Sorry Woosh, i don't mean it. Just want a flag.

I’m praying it’s called off due to public outrage that Collingwood have made it. #hadourfillofcox

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

This is Bigfooty.

There are no neutral fans here.

 

[The 747]

West Coast because they are not Collingwood.

Meatloaf to make a comeback

Don't really care who wins, wouldnt mind seeing kennedy kick a bag though.

Cox is going to struggle id have thought against McGovern and the eagles defence

 

[Costanza_]

Really don't mind. Both teams have done it tough with injuries this year, both would be a good story. Just hoping for a cracking and most importantly close game.

 

[TheSunGod]

I’ll be supporting the Black Eyed Peas.

 

[Firestarter]

Collingwood. Vics gotta stick together.

 

[Xtreme]

West Coast Eagles

Been super all year. Only Collingwood fans want Collingwood to win.

 

[Jibroni]

Draw then extra time then another draw.

 

[Downhill Skier]

West Coast purely based on Eddie Maguire. Otherwise it wouldn't really bother me

 

[calyam]

I base my decision around which BigFooty fanbase will be more obnoxious with a win. So I will be supporting West Coast.

 

[hawkgal02]

Happy for both teams to win.
But I’ve been on the pies since the beginning of the finals so I’ll be supporting them. Mason Cox and Tyson Goldsack have won me over

This!

And a natural empathy with the interstate side. I also like the way the Eagles have ignored the pundits and been genuine contenders all year.

I also saw the mobs of very happy Pies fans after the SF and couldn't begrudge them a flag.

Both sides have earned their spots with a great finals series on the back of a top 4 finish.
