2017 AFL Finals

Re: 2017 AFL Finals

Tasmanians must be sitting back and rubbing their hands together watching empty stadiums and, in particular, GC continually failing.

As a Tasmanian, absolutely. If only GWS started to crumble like GC....and in time they may do that.
I'll look fwd to the time when they are fielding the same number of first round draft picks as the rest of the Comp, and their top players poached by other clubs to play infront of more than 10,000 on avge.

Re: 2017 AFL Finals

The AFL can afford to indulge themselves in GWS right up until it breaks the competition. And if it doesn't don't rein it in and close it down or relocate them the club will destroy the competition. I'm looking forward to it happening. That's when we get our sport back.

They're just as likely to give them more priority picks if they don't deliver on the outlandish advantages they've already been given.

For some reason I have the horrible feeling they might beat Richmond. A similar scenario to 97 for us of a success - starved team who had a big first up finals win and then a bit too much time to think about it. I recall Tim Lane after we smashed the Swans saying a team like us needed to keep playing, to keep building on the momentum, and we would be hurt by the week off. Who knows if it was a factor - we've all agonised endlessly on how we let that one slip. But I don't think the Acronyms are going to be just easy pickings on the way to a Tigers grand final appearance.

Re: 2017 AFL Finals

The best case scenario I can see is that GWS are up by 100 points at half time and then lose to Richmond by a point.

Re: 2017 AFL Finals

As long as Richmond don't win the Grand Final I will be happy. I can't stand that Club. Could you imagine being in Melbourne if they do. No thank you.

Re: 2017 AFL Finals

What's even more nauseating about a Giants win is you've now got to rely on freaking Richmond, RICHMOND, to do something about it.

FMD.

I like Richmond.

Would you prefer Adelaide or Geelong - no thanks. At least with Richmond they haven't had success for 37 years compared to Crows and Cats. Best of a bad bunch

I like Richmond.

me too

We agree to differ. Anyone else bar Richmond for me.

Re: 2017 AFL Finals

No, it has to be Richmond for me. Geelong have caused us so much pain for so long. Adelaide - I surely don't have to explain - and the plastic, synthetic love child of the AEFL? Puleeeze! I want the Tigers to blow them away early and keep the foot down. I want Geelong to beat Adelaide in a brutal last- man -standing smash out and then I want a pulsating GF with the Tigers coming from way back to snatch a win deeply in time on after Selwood, trying one of his shoulder shrugs, is pinged for holding the ball and Trent Cotchin steers through the winner from an acute angle.

Re: 2017 AFL Finals

I would be absolutely devastated if the Plastic Franchise win it. I hate Richmond, they can go another 37 years for all I care. Had an uncle that played for South Melbourne, so I was happy for the Swans, but that's done now. Adelaide or Geelong for me. At least if Adelaide win, all the ferals would be there and I'd be able to avoid them.

Re: 2017 AFL Finals

Had a good time in Adelaidefor tye footy earlier in the year (apart from the result obviously) so I'm on the Crows bandwagon. And like Andrew says if they win all the ferals will go home to Adelaide and not bother us.

If GWS win is it the same as that whole "if a tree falls in a Forrest and none is there does it make a noise?" conundrum? I mean if a team wins a premiership and nobody gives a flying *!*!*!*! did it really happen?

Re: 2017 AFL Finals

Crows or Cat's for me as well.
Richmond fans are already feral about making the finals, it will be unbearable listening to them if they won a flag.
I remember when younger the Richmond fans being ever bit as feral as Essendon, Collingwood and Carlton supporters.
They still somehow regard themselves as a powerhouse club but have achieved so little in decades
However one of my best mates who attended many Doggies games with me at the Whitten Oval over the years is very ill, he supports the Tigers and was so happy for us last year I could manage to grin and bear it for his sake.

Plastics are my most hated team now and they deserve Jack #$*.

Re: 2017 AFL Finals

It's all unfathomably bad.

GWS? Never!!
Geelong? Insufferable. Enough.
Richmond? Get stuffed.
Adelaide? I just can't even.

Throw in the double-decker shite sandwich that is offseason 2017 thus far and you can frankly just drop a bomb on the whole lot.

Footy sucks.

I remember 1973-74 and I was at the ground in '80 and '82 so I vividly remember the typically smug, arrogant and overbearing Richmond supporter back then (my theory is all their kids grew up and followed Essendon). I wouldn't mind them winning although it's hard to say out loud.

That was a great win, especially after Willi had a such a good season.
