So it's that time of year again. We have a pretty interesting mix of finalists, none which look like sure bets. All have gone through down periods at some stage of the season which had many doubting their premiership credentials, while at other times they've had runs which have made us think they can go all the way. But this thread is about who you'd personally rather see win lose. If your own team is playing pick the SECOND team you would like to see with it.
For me my ranking is as follows:
GWS: they haven't won one yet but have got close, and it'd be good for the national game if they win. Plus less annoying carry on from their small supporter base.
Bulldogs: I know they won recently but they are my second team, and it'll help grow them as a club. Bont for the Brownlow and Norm Smith double.
Brisbane: its been over 20 years and they've been up for awhile. Narrowly missed out last year, so would love to see them win it.
Hawthorn: me in 2016 would hardly believe I'm saying this, but yes, despite having won 4 in the past 16 years it'd be a great underdog story to see them go all the way. Love the way they play and Sammy Mitchell as a coach.
Port Adelaide: its been 20 years, and the conflicted feelings of Port fans over Hinkley would be interesting. Funny to see them totally backflip over him.
Sydney: only higher because they've lost 3 of their last gfs, so be a nice redemption arc. Otherwise sick of them always being at the pointy end.
Carlton: would be higher than Sydney but after this season I've gone off them. Imo they just get an unfair advantage, plus the media salivating over them. It's been a long time, so would be happy for their long suffering fans at least.
Geelong: please God no, just no. I don't think any non Geelong fan wants to see them win it again.
