Grand Final Poll

[stevoswan]

Yes, one thing that irritated me last week, was even though the Weagles had the game wrapped up well before half time, their knuckle dragging supporters, were still rabidly booing the occasional free kick that went the Demons way. I mean, it's hardly being gracious in victory.

Yes, creating a 'cauldron' is one thing but sooking like a collective baby when your 50 odd points in front late in the game is something else.

Accidently posted this on the 'GF Footy Record' thread but meant to post it here:

Titus is brilliant this week with his 'Grand Final Guide'.....including a hilarious summation of this seasons AFL/Victorian hypocrisy and stupidity, an oh so accurate review of the Seven commentary team and his GF prediction. Great read!

Good article on this very question....who to go for?

AFL, NRL grand finals: Sport fans to be forced to decide who they loathe the least - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Particularly this bit.......

"Perhaps the fans facing the toughest choice are those of the Sydney Swans who have bitter rivalries with both Collingwood and West Coast. What do they loathe more? The way Magpies president Eddie McGuire attacked their salary cap or the way the Eagles attacked their players?"

Oh and I liked this bit too....

"Subiaco Stadium — best known as Boooobiaco for the constant jeering of the Eagles faithful......" Spot on!

There are a number of teams with crowds that could have a good hard look at themselves. Not just WC

True....but the GF is between Collingwood and WC. Go Pies!

[goswannies]

Um, one Magpie girl and a fat necked dickhead......vs an entire WC crowd.

Collingwood. I loathe West Coast. I will never forgive them for their drug fuelled Grand Final win against us in 2006 and their despicable booing of Adam Goodes.

Nothing against Buckley and the players. McGuire is one reason I'm going for Eagles. The other is the home ground and city advantage for the lower ranked team who have already been beaten in Perth. If Pies win, will be a hollow victory looked at objectively.

We have Mr corruption matt Stevic umpiring so it will be pro Victorian again and Collingwood will win comfortably. It's will be another you tube edition. In 2016 we had free kicks Bulldogs, in 2017 we had free kick Richmond, now we will have 2018 free kick Collingwood. I have little interest in the GF.

Nice write up on the 2006 Eagles here.

The West Coast boys done bad: Ten years after the Eagles’ 2006 premiership, a culture is laid bare | The Monthly

That’s a pretty thorough documentation.
There’s stil the code of silence about it all.

Doesn't matter....Cousins was 'iced' up....that @@@@@ can make you run all day! Who's knows how many other Eagles players were in the same boat that day......furking cheats.

Did Cousins ever fail a match day test?

I know this might be heresy, but I don’t understand this line that West Coast stole the 2006 GF. The drugs involved were recreational rather than performance enhancing, weren’t they?

Depends on the drug. If he smoked a joint before playing, no, I doubt it will enhance your sporting performance.
If he took coke... hell yes, it's performance enhancing.
Like viagra.
