Opinion Who wins the Premiership? (Updated poll - Updated for Prelims))

Chris Scott

Yeah, but if you want to be treated like a Vic team, you get less games with home ground advantage and more neutral games.

I dont understand this argument. nobody gives a **** about the crowd, it's all about the travel factor. not having to travel every second week is huge.

No, that's just the factor that suits your victim mentality.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Not confident that Richmond can win 3-4 finals without a fit Prestia and Edwards. The crammed fixture has worked against us getting players back in time.

West Coast and Geelong have stamped themselves as the top two in the past fortnight. Then Port, whose credentials took a hit on Friday. St.Kilda the wildcard, playing with confidence and a live chance if they can continue to crank it up. Would probably prefer a ticket on them than Richmond right now. And Brisbane, who I have reservations about under real pressure.

GWS and Collingwood out of form at the wrong time.

 

[ep2018]

If we can play home final(s) in Perth we're a decent shot. If we are forced to play in QLD put a line through us.

Got a sick feeling the current run of Perth games might have made us look better than we are.

 

[Coolangatta]

A full Strength Tigers are still the team to beat.

Not sure they'll get their best out on the park in time or fit enough to knock off their opponents, but if anyone's going to stop Geelong, it's your mob or the Eagles. Don't think our mob or Port's going to make it to the grand final.

Can you elaborate? I genuinely have no idea what you mean.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Anyone, please. Even Port.

Selwood to call an injured and limping Dangerfield up onto the premiership Dias to help him lift the cup.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

You don't think Geelong's record in finals is relevant when discussing finals?

Not this year, they've changed and they've played well against all comers bar Collingwood (now crippled by injuries) on the likely finals venues

Something I'd never thought I see or say but Chris Scott is the best coach in it this year and the whole group has bought in and embraced the reality of hubs behind him, the exact opposite of Simpson and WCE in the first week of their QLD hub earlier in the year.

With Stanley and Henderson in they're beautifully balanced now.

Geelong's to lose.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Yet will still play more away games than games in Perth this year. I think I'd rather take 15 minimum home games a year than this season.

But most of those away games will be at genuine neutral venues.

So you're predicting danger is going to stub his toe?

 

[WestCoast05]

If the grand final is in Perth West Coast will win.

Nah, Perth Stadium will become a neutral ground on grand final day

 

[Corkintheocean]

******* hopefully anyone but WC, after years of sooking about vicbias they've been handed months at home in the only stadium with a real crowd. Couldn't have had it any easier this year.

Delicious.

Took you 47 months to get back into the 8 after we soul crushed you in the 2018 prelim. Glad to see it is still a trigger.

Na you beat Collingwood on the MCG two years ago remember. You'll be right.

It's less about the ground and more about the conditions for us.

If it is dewy or raining, we are no chance. Dry conditions I think we are the best team in the comp irrespective of oval.

What's the average height of your current (best team) in comparison to the rest of the comp. Is there anywhere to gain access to that info?

No idea, but it is something I would be interested in too.

West Coast are done now with Yeo and Redden to possibly miss the season.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

I am responding to your nuffie pal that thinks WC can’t win it away from Perth and pointing out how stupid it is to make calls like that when Geelong have looked the form team for years and struggled.

Stop reading into it.

It’s his opinion. I personally don’t think they can either. It’s my opinion. Going to drill
me too?

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Big Birds aren't winning anything without Yeo.

 

[demondavey]

You see how it’s illogical when they’ve already proven it? It happened in 2018.

I also haven’t ‘drilled’ anyone. I’ve simply stated that it doesn’t make sense when it’s happened before and it constantly happens when teams are written off because they ‘can’t’ play somewhere.

If you feel so sensitive then maybe you should internalise it in the Geelong board.

 

[Reservoir tiger]

If all finals played in qld it will be Richmond vs lions with Richmond winning.
If home finals are in play for eagles and port it will be a toss of the coin in port vs eagles

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

So you're predicting danger is going to stub his toe?

Yep and the noise out of SA will be like the Death Star obliterating Alderaan.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

They won the GF at the GABBA or AO did they?

Remember when I said you must learn to become a better reader. That rings true here.
