Who do you want for the Flag?

Who do I WANT for the flag? The Doggies please! I'd also be OK with the Saints and somewhat less so with the Cats.

Pies to go out in straight sets please - though (yet another) GF loss for them would have a certain satisfaction.

Anyone but Collingwood. I don't care how long it's been or what brand of footy they play. Plus Dale Thomas really p*sses me off.

Don't really want the Blues to win it (but could live with it) either because of the succession of top draft & priority picks they've grabbed, and because of Fev.

Essendon - not really but they won't win anyway

I guess I hate Adelaide less then the other teams, but we are talking in micrometers here.

Ditto... if any of the rest won, itwould leave a nasty taste in my mouth. Also if a certain Black and white side wins it then I'm leaving the country.

For me it's the Bullies. I stopped hating them the day Libba retired. They have not won a flag since 1954, and only ever played in 2 GFs in over 80 seasons of VFL/AFL participation.

That said, I would not be overly troubled by the Saints winning (my second preference) because they really deserve it for season 2009. (Although I would feel really sorry for poor old Robert Harvey).

Same for the Cats, (my third preference): two flags to represent their 2007-2009 three seasons form would be fitting.

Please, no to either Collingwood or Adelaide.

Collingwood played dumb football today, it was so frustrating to watch. St.Kilda's forward line thrives when the opposition is playing man on man, so you need to play the zone.

I found it really enjoyable.
Glad the Lions and the Crows got up.
Cats looks reasonably comfortable as did STK.

Yep, spot on. I don't think it's a bad result for Collingwood though - won't have to play St.Kilda again until the GF (provided both sides keep winning) and they'll have a better idea on what they have to change to beat them.

I think they'll beat Adelaide and I wouldn't be surprised if they then beat Geelong.
