Who are the neutrals supporting today?

[JackOutback]

I was firmly in the Swans camp in 2012, and while the Tippett and Franklin affairs have soured my respect for the Swans a little, I still have to go for the interstate side.

 

[Amazing Racer]

Essendon fan here................cheering the Hawks all the way

 

[Reppie]

Swans for me.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Hawthorn. **** COLA.

 

[pjcrows]

Hawks

 

[FluffyHawk]

Wonder if Cats fans would be cheering for us if Sydney were the team going for back to back flags...

 

[jayceontaylor]

hawks

 

[The_Eagles]

Going for Sydney and Buddy!

Hawthorn: 11 premierships
Richmond: 10 premierships

I don't want Hawthorn to win, despite the Hardwick connection!

Same except it's 5 vs 3 for us Eagles since 87. Hawks are gunning for the 6th or, 4th AFL flag


Pains me to barrack for the WWE Swans

 

[dogs105]

I'm neutral

 

[Hank Scorpion]

Meh. No strong feeling one way or the other. I just want a good game.

If I had to pick, I'd probably say the Swans.

 

[autocol]

Swans. I reckon Ben McGlynn deserves a flag.

 

[randyzany]

Love me some of this:

Buddy Love all the way, go you buddy beautiful thing you.

Wonder if Cats fans would be cheering for us if Sydney were the team going for back to back flags...

You're seriously naive if you honestly think that has any bearing on the issue.

Question for neutral supporters.

Who will you support today and is it different to 2012?

In 2012 I was firmly in the swans camp but this year I am leaning towards the hawks. The change is mainly due to the Tippett and Franklin deals. Reeks of Carlton in the 80's.

Swans ....If your club was relevant they would have been able to match it with the big clubs ...don't be a hater because of your dismal failures .

 

[sherb]

Sydney. Because I've lived here for 31 years.

 

[E92_]

Sydney, I always support the interstate team (besides Freo ).


But I would be happy if Hawks won, they're an amazing team.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

I want Spangher to win for a feel good story but I don't want Hawthorn to win.

Slight dilemma.

 

[dvas987]

Hawthorn. Sydney can far cough

 

[raskolnikov]

The first time I can remember that I really don't have a preference either way.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Hawthorn so we get Alastair Clarkson.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Hawks. Same as 2012.

+1

Hoping we can deliver the same result as 2012 too!

 

[Tiger_man322]

Swans in 12
Hawks today

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Hawks, can't accuse them of buying the premiership like the current Sydney side could be.

Was going for Port last week though and I'd probably be ambivalent if Sydney hadn't picked up Tippett and Franklin.

"Just to credit COLA for the Tippett/Franklin acquisitions is wrong. It goes much deeper than money. You cannot discount the thinking, creativity, innovation, strategy... Instead of fighting the Swans, 17 other clubs should be asking themselves what they could have done better to match the playing culture and the people at the Swans...and the club's exemplary record in recruiting and list management"

Surely quoting Vossy is like making a Nazi comparison, and you lose the argument by default?

 

[PAFC_1870]

Couldn't care less. As long as it's entertaining I'm happy. Probably a good thing for the teams playing.... Every team I support on GF day loses since 2006.

 

[TheOz]

Hate em both but probably the hawks, can't stand sydney and their bandwagon flog supporters.
