Will you still watch

[Mantis]

No doubt it will be on at the venue I am at, but I won't be watching it with any great purpose.

My days as a 'footy lover' are over and besides watching the Bulldogs in action I couldn't really give 2 hoots about the game anymore. (This has a lot to do with the AFL's current administration)

Will be watching from my footy trip in a beach side bar or something like that.

Footy trip on GF weekend is a bit different - I would have thought plenty of the boys would have objected to that idea....but its an awesome weekend to go if your team doesn't make it I guess.

I'll be watching but it doesn't bother me who wins

I always enjoy watching the Grand Final - hopefully Geelong will smash St Kilda. Never been a big Sookwoldt, I mean a Reiwoldt fan.

I see he wants to send out a 'please look after me plea to the umps'...

Riewoldt said yesterday he expected similar treatment to that he received from the Western Bulldogs, who constantly hassled the All-Australian skipper off the ball.

"I think it's happened all year and it happens to everyone that crosses the [white] line, so I'd expect nothing else from Geelong," Riewoldt said.

Go the Cats!

We have done it for the last 7 years so it has become a tradition. Our leagues grand final is the week before so it means we dont have to wait too long for it. To be honest none of the boys have ever complained because it is pretty awesome having us all sitting together watching it in another state, some awesome memories. If the doggies ever made it I would fly back on the saturday morning to go to the game though.

Just on the game I reckon Bartel is a good bet for the norm smith. He played a brilliant game against the saints last time and the weather sounds like it is designed for Bartel. Bit nervous to put a heap on it though because the people that judge it so often plump for the fairytale option rather than the best player on the ground.

I will probably end up watching it, surrounded by Saints fans I don't care who wins, I hate both teams. I think I will barrack for the umpires to dish up a bit of pain on them for a change. How about a couple of season ending injuries or is that being a really bad sport

Anyway Geelong will slide next year and I suspect there might be a few retirements - Saints would go into their shell if they lose or as someone else said, become irrelevant if they win.

I've got a ticket to the GF. Been going since 2005 (when I became a full AFL member). Suffice to say, Geelong will be my club of choice on the day.

Never been to a Grand Final, but always watch it, regardless of who is playing, just to soak up the atmosphere, and see the best two teams play for the ultimate prize.

Last year’s GF was an amazing game to watch, but I expect Geelong to bounce back, and win it easily.

I can't believe you would start a thread like this before the game i was unable to check the website from 1:30 on friday when i left for work and have been too mad to get past 2 posts untill now this thread has pissed me off how can you think about losing before we even flammin play!!!

Can't believe you'd even bother commenting on this post then!
