Reasons why I want .....

[Lucky Knickers]

the Cats to win....
1. Michael Gardiner & Steven Milne. Need I say more?
2. They play superb football that is very watchable
3. Bobby Davis presenting the preeeeemiership medals (memories)
4. St Kilda fans


the Saints to win.....
1. Cam Mooney crying
2. The Swan connection of Rossy, Scheids and the Dumpster
3. Fans have waited a long time and I know that feeling
4. Tom Hawkins and his dance of the sugar plum fairy on the lead

I'm picking Cats by 21

Post your reasons and tips here....

(I'm bored)

[Jewels]

Cats victory,
1. Saints fans (IMO worse then Pie fans)
2. Seeing St Nick cry-a bewdyful, bewdyful sight
3. Saints fans
4. Love to see Gazza get the medal trifecta
5. Saints fans

Saints victory,
1. Ummm


Got nothin, I hate them.

Love to see the Cats do what they did to Port in 07 but I know that's not going to happen so I'll settle for a good solid 5 goal victory!

That's pretty much what I would have said Jewels, it's hard to feel sorry for the most obnoxious fans in the League.

[RedRosie]

Cats victory,
1 Saints fans (IMO worse than any fans of any code)
2. Saints Cheersquad
3. I like the Geelong club song
4. So I dont have to put up with the St Kilda supporter at work smirk
5. Saints arrrrrrrmen

Saints victory,
1. There will be less fights on the trains going home


Cats by 9, Saints will be pumped and feral, hope the ref is ready for them.

[RogueSwan]

Cats win:
*There is not actually much I like about the Cats.
*Whoops, forgot about that angry little tool Milne.
*Don't know or have run into any Saints fans so that argument doesn't work for me

Saints win:
*Schneiderman and Zoolander
*Mooney to cry again
*the Lions would still be remembered as better than the Cats
*I can't stand Ablett, Chapman, Bartel or Scarlett. Bartel, to me, comes across as the Cats Daniel Kerr.

Saints by 9 (say about 72 - 63)

[CureTheSane]

Saints win:

1. Been so long
2. My father's team - and subsequently my first team until I was permitted to choose for myself
3. Gardiner - I wanted him at the Swans. Seems he was worth the risk - good to see someone beat the odds and succeed
4. They have red & white in their colours
5. They should have won a flag when they had the superstar team - Winmar, Lowe, Harvey, Lockett etc etc

Ditto, + Lyon, Schneiderman and Dempster, we taught them everything they know

I guess of the two, I dislike the saints less.

The Geelong rant of "most successful team over a three year period in wins/loses" really peeves me. I suppose it's akin to those Collingwood mugs who try to hide the fact they couldn't win a premiership in 32 years despite being in nine Grand Finals by (correctly) stating their club had won more games then any other. Saints fans may be feral, but Geelong are the most arrogant. And that really grinds my gears.

Saints by two goals.

Schneider & Dempster already have a medallion, so I don't think about them too much.
Lyon seems like a nice bloke, who has done well, so I hope he achieves his ultimate goal.

"We want another one
Just like the other one
Goal Gosal Goal Goal
Whoooooooo!"

Worst chant ever!

Now that Collingwood are out of the running I dont care who wins on Saturday. If the Saints win it gives them their 2nd flag. Plus it gives Schneids Dempsters & of Rossy Lyon another flag.

If the Cats win, it will not only be a victory for attacking football. Because teams always try & copy the premiers. If St Kilda win, we are back to 2005 chessbook footy again.

I can see St Kilda shutting the play-on happy Catters down & forcing them into error. However if the weather is bad the Cats may have an advantage. Not too much rainfall under a roof at Etihad. I wonder how Gardiner & Kossi like hail & slush.

Thank JF, I'm going to be haunted by that all day now....and yes it is the worst chant ever.

[Wardy]

Geelong for me by 47!!!

why?

1) Lil Gazza - he is a true star
2) Lingy and the big shorts - I like him, he's got character and can keep the best players in the game quiet.
3) Jimmy Bartel & Joel Selwood - flip a coin there as to which one gets the Norm Smith.
4) They are suited to wet weather footy having played at the bog at kardinia park - if its raining tomorrow - then they would have to go in favourites, Saints are used to the rarified air, closed roof and dry pitch of the Dome.
5) they play good, fast attacking footy, the way it SHOULD be played.
6) Bomber Thompson, he doesnt go on with all the crap, if he cant get his message across in a few words, then its not worth saying in the first place..
7) The Cats have been there the last two years on the day that counts, they know what to expect - the Saints havent!
8)and despite what some think - they have actually been the form team in the last three years - they have been consistently good - than just cant be denied.

Saints?

reason why I dont go for them

1) Milne
2) Milne
3) Milne
4) dont like em.

Cats:
BIG Cats are cool.

Saints:
There is no such thing as a Saint, although I come pretty close.

Saint Scott, the patron saint of lisping.

[Primmy]

Umps Rosie, not refs. Vastly important to use that word. Don't know why. But Umps.

Saints:
1) Rossie, Schneider, and Dempster is not playing.
2) Umm.
3) Don't mind Jones. He has worked hard.
4) King has pecs of great worthiness.
5) Pains me to say but Nic the Saint is rather terrific to watch in action; love watching his arms....grrrrrr.

Geelong:
1) I like Big Hairy, don't know why.
2) I really really like Bomber Thompson and I want to take him home.
3) Jimmy is cute as a button.
4) Umm.
5) Don't like looking at Ablett but really appreciate his talent, easy to watch.

There you go. As controversial and shallow as I can make it.

Footy food, and grand final party at my place with my mob. Red wine will be involved.
