So who do you want to win on Saturday?

[BillyRayCypress]

Realistically, one of the main reasons we hate Ballentyne and Crowley is because they are so good at what they do.

Time for Freo to win and have Kennett sucking on lemons.

Seriously. Swans Premiers 2014. I wanna know what those odds are and get on it big time. Media are all "Ummmmmm, yeah, [sigh], ummm yeah I guess Sydney might be alright next year, could possibly be top 4 again, had a couple of injuries." Injury free & huge preseason after a really good rest, and we will dominate. Dominate. We will be as fast as we are tall, and much more experienced.

Swans and Dockers will be the best two teams of 2014, injury free.

I know it's not the right thread, but I could only handle so much talk of Freo and Hawthorn. Cannot handle a Hawks win. Melbourne media will look at it as: "oh yes well it is atonement for not winning last year when they should have."

4. Last year i sat in the last row of seats in front of the standing area and all i can say is thank heavens they were caged, as those hawthorn fans were truly rabid and shockingly ingracious and fans like that never deserve success EVER!!!

We sat in a similar position for the qualifying final. We being, myself, disabled son and 84yo father. We reported the group when they started using racist taunts towards Jetta when he kicked his goal. When security came they played dumb, then proceeded to swear & cuss at every Swans supporter in proximity to them, including threatening two old ladies. We complained to security again but they were outnumbered by a drunken, angry mob and didn't seem too keen to do anything about it. We moved at the break.
That was enough for us. We are Freo supporters all the way this week.
It would also be nice to think that there was a swans connection involved in beating Hawthorn again.

[On-Baller]

Ballyntine i could care less about but Crowley is an interesting one, great tagger anbd sort of player any club would love but he ruins it with all the useless banter, why when your clearly beating someone do you need to constantly tell him how your beating him, just lacks a bit of class and respect which imo was what stopped him getting AA just shows no humility.

If we are talking players we would love to see get taken out for mine it has to be Hodge or Mitchell just so full of themselves and the commentators gushing over them makes me want to puke.

[ShockOfHair]

'Interstate club' in first GF ever against smug Melbourne club. No-brainer.

And the Hawthorn meltdown if they lose...

[Jeffers1984]

Freo Heave Ho!! @@@@ those arrogant Dawks and their wanker Dawk Supporters.

[Allymay]

Would have to go for the Dockers as my son is obsessed with them. Plus they are still my 2nd team, even if I had to sit through Saturday night! Their supporters are pretty good and gracious winners. One of their chants on the train on Saturday night was "The Eagles are in Baaaaallllliiiii." Very funny.

Hawthorn shouldn't make the same mistake they made with us last year when all they thought they had to do was turn up and they would walk away with the cup. It would be hilarious to see the Hawks lose a gf to interstate teams two years in a row! Plus, it might finally shut them all up after we copped a heap of abuse from them on the Swans facebook page crying that Sydney didn't win, Hawthorn lost.

[Swansongster]

Definitely Dockers for mine. Hawks fans are in many parts and in my personal experience a disgraceful lot. Dockers fans are good sports.

I cannot think of one Hawks player I like (except Spang if he's a late in). There are many players on the Dockers list I like (topped by Pav, Fyfe, Mzungu and McPharlin).

[Bloodthirsty]

I am totally and utterly shocked that the AFL refuses to let Fremantle wear their purple geurnsey, forcing them to wear their non-descript white-everything uniform.

SINCE WHEN DOES PURPLE CLASH WITH YELLOW AND @@@@?

It's Freo's best week for marketing in their history and no club colours? I can already see how decisions on Saturday are going to pan out. I'd be ropable if I were Freo.

I agree, a disgusting decision.

[Melbourne_Blood]

I may be wrong but I heard on the radio today Freo had the option of playing In their purple strip with white shorts ( as they did in the QF against the cats) but opted to wear the white clash strip. Seems a puzzling decision if that is the case.

Calm your farm bro, Hawks are wearing the home guernsey as they finished top. Freo were only asked to wear white SHORTS, and had the option of wearing PURPLE or WHITE guernsey. They opted for the white guernsey.

I know your family very well, baskin, and am dismayed that you had to put up with that garbage. I've gone from having a slight leaning towards Hawthorn to being firmly in the Freo camp with you!

(And racism from Hawthorn fans??? Unbelievable!)

[MightyBloods]

I picked Freo as our danger half way through the year and certainly not changing now. I'm confident they'll get it done.
...and listen to their captain say "anywhere, anytime"!!! lol
the second time the hawks would have heard that in two consecutive grand final defeats!!

That's not what I heard.
