So who are RWO going for!

Ideally: Lions win without Akermanis (late withdrawal), Akermanis retires and is never heard from again.

I'm hoping for Brisbane to set a record for the biggest win in a GF!!

I love to hate Aker. He ****s me up the wall when we play them but I love watching him do that to other sides. Plus he can play well enough to carry it off. And plus, he's Crouch's bunny...

I don't hate any club in particular so I'll be supporting Port on this occasion because they deserve it, although Brisbane might still win based on their experience only.

I have to ask mate, how in hell did you get a GF ticket?

And furthermore, if we played in a Grand Final and a Port or Brisbane got your seat, how would you feel?

You should see the amount of people on thePowerfromPort.com clambering for tickets at the moment. Some are paying $500 on the black market at the moment.

No offence personally SXP, but the issue of supporters not of the competing teams getting tickets to the Grand Final is one that doesn't sit well with me. In 96 the atmosphere was a complete joke; noone there were supporters of either North or the Roos and just sat there looking bored.

It is just seeping out of them this week.

You are going down you arrogant ****s.

Go LIONS

But Port Adelaide is BY FAR Australia's most successful football club.

Doesn't anyone have any respect for this?

If Port Adelaide were playing Satan, it would be a toss-up who I'd barrack for. Add together how much most Melbournians hate McGuire-era Collingwood and Elliott-era Carlton, and you still aren't getting close to my hatred for Port.

I would like to see them humiliated, even more than I'd like to see them beaten by a huge margin.

The best way of achieving this would be if a rank Port choking error proves to be the turning point of the match. Perhaps Tredrea dropping a crucial mark 15 metres out; perhaps Gavin Wanganeen making a hasty decision to switch play and putting it straight down Brown's throat; perhaps Voss having 5 attempted weak tackles fall off him before kicking the sealer. I don't mind too much. As long as they are unable to walk off the 'G with their heads held high, and (a la Woods 2004) realise they've blown the biggest chance of their lives and plummet, dispirited, to mediocrity in 2005.

Oh, and no disrespect to Roger James (or Mattie Primus) in any of the above. (They're Norwood boys.)

I got the ticket as an AFL member. Tickets were not released for general public. I believe we discussed this issue (of allocated tickets for GF) to death in the past and I feel sorry for the supporters of both clubs, who'll miss out, but until AFL changes its policy about the ticket allocations, I'll take advantage of it.
As far as the Swans are going, this could be my only chance to see the GF, since I've missed the one in 96. Who knows when are they going to play in a GF again.

Respect!! I hate and despise them and their arrogance. You need to live in Adelaide for a few years JF, then you might understand. I am sworn to support whoever they are playing. I will cheer louder for Brisbane than ever before.

The Port scum MUST NOT win!!!

Really? Good, make them pay. And I hope they pay to see their team humiliated. I cant wait to see the Port supporters crying on TV at 5pm on Saturday.

Nice call! If Port hatred has extended to the Central Coast, it can only be so long before it circulates all around Australia. Although, I agree, you've gotta have lived in Adelaide to get the appropriate intensity.

And for all of those wondering what Port Adelaide (the area) actually looks like- if you've seen Bad Boy Bubby, it was filmed there.

It is my duty, my life calling, to spread the hatred.
