    Grand Final thread. Footscray v. ... @Etihad. Sunday 21 September 2014

    Cool. A Grand Final to look forward to.


    How good is that?
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    I feel being in the grand final will really lift the club and give us momentum into next year. These young guys have brought alot of enthusiasm to the club.

      Three cheers to Peter Gordon for getting us our own VFL side. It didn't come cheaply.

        Depends on who play in the TAC Cup Grand Final, and if Williamstown win. Still remember Willy v Springvale VFA GF with over 20,000 in 1990.

          I still want sons of the scray when we win. Another great day at the footy, the Bulldogs function in Bendigo on Friday just got better with the result today!

            Agree and has to be the Mike Brady version from the late 80s/early 90s.

                            It won't have quite the emotional pull of an AFL premiership but I'd love to see us win a VFL flag, it'd be something to get around. I've had a blast following the VFL closely this season, the games at WO a real highlight. Hopefully we get plenty along to the game.

                            Footscray has been good for football.

                              It won't but it's still a senior premiership and we aren't in a position to get fussy about what constitutes premierships that are emotionally worth more than others. I'm planning on getting plenty emotional if we win.

                              In fact I'd like to see the club make a big fuss to impress on the players that it's a big deal for us. A team photo of the Grand Final squad to put with all the other Grand Final photos. They will be attending functions through the week anyway so it's not like it will be a normal week.

                              Maybe even play up the hatrick angle.
                              They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
