I barracked (quietly) for Collingwood against the Tigers to give me a better chance of selling my un-needed GF ticket. It almost made me vomit to do so. So WC for me (though truth be told, footy season ended with the NEAFL Grand Final).Comment

Lots of marque players (like Bucks) never played in a Granny winning side, so now he’s got an opportunity to win one as a coach and I like him.
But of course who can stand Eddies hypocrisy and his generalisation that ‘everyone’ is loving this (Pies winning) .
The odds are clearly stacked against West Coast (hostile ground, short recovery, travel) and even though they finished top two, they have been pretty neglected to go on and win the GF.
They are a clean side now (compared to ‘06)
so I hope they get up, but I don’t know how they will stop the flying tree trunk (Cox).
Go Eagles.Comment

Either a really close, high quality game and I don't care who wins. Ok then West Coast by a kick after the siren.
OR an absolute shellacking and then of course WCE to win and destroy the dreams of Eddie, Bucks and the Melbourne Media.Comment

I think I would just enjoy seeing the Eagles lose more than the Pies.
And apart from Eddie there is no one I really dislike on the Pies unlike 2011 era with Malthouse, Maxwell, Didak, Shaw (and Jolly) ;-)"Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

Can't feel any great desire for either team to win. I can't really work out what would irritate me the most. Eddie's smugness in victory, a victory that would probably be partially due to Victorian advantage. Or the happiness of the more feral West Coast fans: who are probably the most biased and unhinged in the AFL.Comment

Is this a granny where you can say that the majority of footy fans don't really give a rats?
I certainly don't.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

As I write this I don't really care who wins. But of GF day I might just side with Collingwood. If Collingwood can play like they did against Richmond I think they will win.
What I dislike about Collingwood isn't the players - it's their feral fans egged on on by Maguire.
The West Coke eagles played ok - they won by a big margin because the Demons were awful. However the WCE fans are just as one-sided as any other team so i'd like to see them on the receiving end of the Melbourne centric umpiring. Come in Matt Stevic.Comment

I can't warm to either side. If I had make a list of my most detested teams in the AFL, these two would join Hawthorn and Essendon in my bottom four.
I'm cheering for the umpires. It would be their second premiership in the last three years.Comment
-
Probably my two most disliked sides, not that I passionately hate any side. With Hawthorn worst opposition supporters in the league - neither should be rewarded with a premiership.
WC, as noted, lesser of two evils - I like their players better.

Great line!The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment
