The big dance
« on: September 20, 2012, 05:01:27 PM »
What's the vibe around this joint?

Me, I prefer neither of Whorethorn & obviously Skunks! Adelaide wouldn't bother me that much but will be going the Swans FWIW.

If Sydney get up Friday will be going for Crows Saturday otherwise I'm on the Poos and wees  :banghead

I can't watch with any real interest . . . you should try run a sweeps (first goal kicker each qtr, norm smith medal winner, most touches etc.) with your mates. One way it becomes more interesting.

Syndey make me :chuck, but i hope they end the pies season on the weekend.

Hawks should beat Adelaide and then , given Sydney's poor form at the 'G in recent times, should take home the chockies.

Then we will have got through yet another pointless September and onto October, where at least we have some interest :P

This.

Plus I always respect the South Melbourne connection that have stayed loyal to the Swannies.

Agree with the Swannies sentiments

But there is always a part of me that has no probs if the Pies win it because my Dad loved the Pies

Having said that think it will be Hawks -v- Pies grand final myself

Hawks for me, hate the club actually think their supporters are the worst in the comp.
Childish, banal banter at the footy when you play them.
When they get beat, talk about spit the lollies like a big baby - waaaaaah

However, I think our model of play most resembles what the Hawks have built over the last 5 years.
 If it wins them a flag, it gives our "program" more credibility.

Swans are one of  the sides I'll have an interest in, having lived there a few years ago.
Just dislike their style of play, although it's improved since Roos left.

Crows and Pies? If they played the GF in my backyard, I'd draw the curtains in my lounge room
It's that simple Spud

I know its a week out still but Im not feeling grand final excitement.
I think the Hawks are just that much in front of the 3 other teams in fork and skill.
Im hoping the swans get the upset this weekend over the pies. Hawks v Swans grandfinal.

I too want the Swans to win.
So little hype but they are a lot better than they are credited for.
There is a lot of talent in that team.

Some of my family and a close mate of mine are Hawthorn fans.

Would like to see them get up b/c of this.


Although I do agree with the sentiments that some Hawthorn fans have this inferiority complex not like Nought's only fan but footy banter where Hawthorn is the joke is taken personally.

Have seen it at the footy and with some people I have encountered. Unpleasant to say the least.

Dislike Collingwood.
Sydney well I have a respect for them but still remember Longmire kicking 12 against us in 1990.
Adelaide not this year.
