20 goal flogging, or a one point loss on the back of the worse stevic decision ever, where he genuinely believes he has to call it, and then when he sees the replay after, ho goes "oh ****, I just cost my team the threepeat". And retires.

Eagles for me. I wonder how far the umpires will go to give the Hawks momentum and an advantage.

Geez, if the Eagles don't win, I might just go into hiding until someone other than Hawthorn wins a flag. I really can't stand them and the arrogance of their supporters, no matter how much people think they've earned the right to be. At some point, SOMEONE needs to shut them up. I hope it happens on Saturday.

Keep in mind that at our best this year, we were 11 points shy of beating them. I look forward to those Brown and Gold pricks sitting towards the bottom of the ladder for a while after Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis, Hale, Burgoyne, Gibson and Lake retire. Like Geelong, they can claim to be able to replace champions of this calibre, but it doesn't happen. These guys have played 100+ games together and that kind of experience is not easily replicated.

C'MON THE WEST COAST WELLINGHAMS!!!!

On a brighter note, West Adelaide, Subiaco and Williamstown won the SANFL, WAFL and VFL grand finals, all worthy winners when you remember what their supporters had to put up with over the years, particularly those from West Adelaide...

Newcastle United our far less successful version of ourselves, salvaged a draw against last years champion, Chelsea. It's a start.

I'm hoping for a West Coast premiership, just to end this constant Hawthornitis, plus the sheer arrogance of their fans.

The Eagles must keep Bruce to 1 or 2 orgasms to win.

Yeah, anyone but the bloody Hawks. Bugger this "pick the Victorian Club" bullshit. I have a very long memory and very few non Collingwood fans supported us against the Brions in 2002-3. In fact the then Geelong President came out in the bloody media and urged people to barrack hard against Collingwood. :evil: :x

So "Go EAGLES!"

Hawks for me. Love the way they play footy and think they're exceptionally well led by Clarkson Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis and co. Don't have an issue with their supporters - I don't associate with pissants...

Prefer Eagles because not too many of their fans around, but the Hawks are an amazing team and deserve to win so I won't be too fussed, either way.

Can't have them winning next year, though.
kill for collingwood!

I simply like the Eagles to win because I am over the arrogant Hawks.

Weagles as the lesser of 2 evils, and I'll be barracking for Wellingham - Ceglar probably won't play, just like he didn't play a game for us.
