Grand Final Poll

This is the Herald Sun's advice to Swans Supporters.

Neutral fans’ guide: Who to barrack for — and against — in the 2018 Grand Final

Category: | Herald Sun

SYDNEY: Eddie McGuire, COLA, Anthony Rocca, Jesse White. Carn the Eagles.

Good to see that Don't care is soundly beating @@@@ingwood

What I dislike about Collingwood isn't the players - it's their feral fans egged on on by Maguire.

C'mon, have some compassion. Everyday they wake up and they're still them. It must be horrible.

Have some Pies friends so Go Pies. Besides how can I forget the travesty of 2006. Until we get handed the 2006 Cup I will never support WCE in a GF.

[CureTheSane]

Only thing better than seeing Collingwood lose by 100 points in the GF, is seeing them lose by 1 point.

I like watching Jetta play, and he's had a good finals series. So I'm hoping for WC win.

I'm cheering for the umpires. It would be their second premiership in the last three years.

Love it SS... I might use it if I am talking to the Doggies fan in the office during the week and see if I can get a bite....

I honestly couldn't care less who wins on Saturday, though have the ever slight preference for West Coast as I find Eddie so entirely detestable. But I like the Cox story for the Pies, and hope he can have as good a game on Saturday as Pykey did for us in 2012. Those stories of players that succeed in our game coming from a non-AFL background are enjoyable, and the only tangible thread I can find to really like

I hope Jetta can have a good game also for the Eagles - he hasn't done as well over there as he should have I feel, but he has been good in the second half of this season and was pretty good in the Prelim final.

Scores level as the final siren sounds .
Eddie is strechered out of the stadium to a waiting ambulance to be fitted with a pacemaker.
Eagles win in extra time by 3 points or do they have to replay it in 7 days ? I’ve forgotten.

There will be no replay. Don't know if Collingwood supporters can handle another draw!

I just hope it's close, but I don't think it will be. Eagles by 46.

[Go Swannies]

As I said last week, this is the GF I wanted. Pies - the plus is that most of Victoria will be unhappy but the negative is that so will Eddie. Weagles - the plus is that all of Victoria (and the AFL) will be upset but the downside is that Julie Bishop will be happy. Tigers weren't good enough to be repeated champs. Dees would have got a reality check this week or next. On balance I lean 52% to the Weagles. Wouldn't mind Buckley defying the pundits and finally getting a premiership but wouldn't be upset to see the other Josh Kennedy with a flag.

I just hope it's a good game. The Eagles have only had a training run. But that first half by the Pies was one of the best period of excellent footy skills I've ever seen. A Premiership settled by less than a goal would be good.

Just dont want to see Eddy happy

[Bloody Hell]

Probably my two most disliked sides, not that I passionately hate any side. With Hawthorn worst opposition supporters in the league - neither should be rewarded with a premiership.

WC, as noted, lesser of two evils - I like their players better.

Great line!

[Swansongster]

I can't warm to either side. If I had make a list of my most detested teams in the AFL, these two would join Hawthorn and Essendon in my bottom four.

As I write this I don't really care who wins. But of GF day I might just side with Collingwood. If Collingwood can play like they did against Richmond I think they will win.

What I dislike about Collingwood isn't the players - it's their feral fans egged on on by Maguire.

The West Coke eagles played ok - they won by a big margin because the Demons were awful. However the WCE fans are just as one-sided as any other team so i'd like to see them on the receiving end of the Melbourne centric umpiring. Come in Matt Stevic.

I agree with the sentiments in that post except for the encouragement of Vic-centric umpiring.....I think we've all had enough of that! But I'll be going for Collingwood..... I hate the club but as for the players I have nothing against them. I'm almost the same with WC but their fans are the worst in the league, morally and behaviorally and I'd hate to see them happy and gloating. Both clubs and their fans failed Adam Goodes during 'that' period so basically they're both scum.....this game should be dubbed the 'Bigots Cup' (won't use the 'R' word, could upset some but it would be even more appropriate).
