Finals Week 1

[imuninformedtwo]

Those poor downtrodden Fairypuppies. They've been just sobrave all night.

Don't like the Hawks, but the Dogs can go and get stuffed. Enjoy your summer campaigners. Best team going - hahahaha whatever 'experts'....

More proof that a lot of the Champion Data stuff - which had the Dogs as the team of the comp - is just pure bull@@@@.

Dogs are eliminated....beautiful.

The Dogs board on bigfooty is complaining about umpiring and get this - Hawks’ handballs being throws and chucks. Irony is dead.

Yes, I just had a quick look. I expected there'd be plenty more sack Beveridge posts than what there is. But I suspect the lynch mob is forming.

[stevoswan]

Hawks starting to look a bit shaky after a dominant third quarter.....just bloody well chill a bit and win it!

Just realised Stevic the Hawk fan is umpiring.....wow, the AFL are certainly tuned in aren't they.

You’ve gone soft. It’s the Dogs, and only the Dogs, that need to lose.

There’s a reason I was keen on here for us to get Ginnivan once it was clear he was being squeezed out of the Pies last year. He’s got footy IQ.

[dejavoodoo44]

Better move the cameras away from those twats in the wizard hats, before it makes me want to go for the Dogs.

[SwanSand]

Hated Sam Mitchell and the Hawks when they were winning too much. But geez what he is able to get out of so many young players and his coaching tactics have been amazing. Hope they beat up the doggies. Can’t stand them.

Yes, but I had many years of resenting the Hawks, before I even started resenting the Dogs.

[imuninformedtwo]

I'm not sure who I want to win tonight. On one hand, I don't think I've forgiven the Bulldogs for 2016, on the other hand, I'd probably be perfectly happy if the Hawks didn't win another final in my lifetime. But then there's the Bulldogs perhaps being more of a threat to us if they get through. But if the Hawks win, then they'd almost certainly be the Victorian media's fairytale side. Which would be unpleasant.

Perhaps it might depend on one side getting seemingly preferential treatment from the umpires, and then I'll end up going for their opponents?

The team I want to win tonight is the team I think we have the best chance of beating. That's Hawthorn.

You make a good point. The Poodles might be scarier to play against. But not as scary as Geelong. They were awesome last night.

[stevoswan]

I feel your pain. Who the hell are we supposed to barrack for? I'm still undecided!!

It's easy....don't barrack for either....but as a Swans fan, your hatred for the Dogs should be never ending.....so go for the Hawks!

Plus, as Thunder Shaker said, we can more likely beat them in a prelim, should we win tomorrow. Go Hawks!

I can't even hope for injuries and suspensions, because that would just mean an easy game for Port.
