#Prelim Finals Discussion thread

Who are we going for?

[Markwebbos]

1st choice WCE destroy Pies by 100 points in GF. Eddie’s head explodes. Melbourne media meltdown.

2nd choice Dees destroy Pies... Exploding Eddie. Irritatingly smug Melbourne Media.

This was my original plan. It’s still valid

I'd pies win GF it will be third year in a row a lower ranked Melbourne team has got hosting rights and won.

One Dees dude on another board:
“Wake me up from this ********* NIGHTMARE!”

Poor sod .

Actually 4th year in a row. Hawks, Bulldogs, Tigers, Pies

Toddle off to Bunnings, purchase a hammer, nails and timber and build a bridge and get over it.

All your pi5sing in the wind ain't going to change it.

True but you can't possibly be ok with it?

There will be a certain percentage of folk who think Melbourne were hard done by having to go to Perth for a prelim final.

Wow. The least publicised static in AFL.
Media fail.

There seems to be some Victorian based Swans fans who suffer from a conflict of loyalties between their state, the MCG and their footy team. Can't bring themselves to criticise the sacred ground. I like living here but for as a supporter of a non vic team, the insular footy culture is blatant and annoying.

It hasn't been a good final series. Hopefully the grand final is exciting. About time that a non swans grand final was close! (Apart from '09 & '10 drawn GF).

It's just a fact, nothing that I or others say is going to change that.

It's no longer a game, it's a business in the entertainment industry competing for a share of the advertising dollar.

The game was lost when clubs were forced out of their home grounds.

Not this Victorian.....and I think most Vic Swans would love to see the GF go to the interstate venue when the i/state team finishes higher on the ladder. Do you actually take the 'conjecture' and 'theories' of a West Sydney resident (Barry) regarding Victorians as fact?

[barry]

I dont live in West Sydney, and why would it make any difference. Typical Victorian attitude.

Can make my own mind up and mentioned "some", not all.

[Swansongster]

I'm a Melbourne Swans fan and believe the Grand Final belongs at the MCG. It's a Wembley (or Twickenham) type of entitlement earned through history and suitability to the occasion.

POf course, this doesn't mean that I don't recognise a serious Vic-centricity to the league.
