It is just that come GF time I support non Victorian teams and always have as despite the success of interstate teams there seems a lack of recognition of these interstate teams in Victoria and the AFL does it best to reward them. Still remember the Finals scheduling in 2004 which imo hindered Brisbane winning 4 in a row.

Sorry Ringo that is pretty of. The mark I would say. Sydney, Crows, WC, Bris and Port all have won 9 flags out of 16 between them since 1997. You are suggesting the AFL made it hard for you because you were non-victorian despite the fact you were beaten by another non-victorian side? And what about last year when Hawks despite finishing top and winning our QF still had to play a Saturday night prelim and Sydney got the Friday night one despite finishing 3rd? The AFL let Geelong play a game at skilled earlier this finals series but didn't let Sydney play last year's prelim at the SCG so they could play Saturday.
No Scrads just saying that the AFL often makes it difficult for interstate sides.
In 2004 despite winning the right to hold the Prelim Final at the Gabba we were forced to play at the G on the Saturday night thus giving us less time to prepare for the final.  Not saying we would have won as Port played and excellent game but the scheduling was wrong. If they were to stand on their commitments they could have allowed Brisbane to play on the Friday night to be fair.  It was common knowledge after Brisbanes 3 peat that a 4 peat was going to be extremely difficult.

I was wondering during the week if it turned out to be a Hawks Freo GF who Crowley would go to. After last nights game I think there's little doubt who will go to  ;)

Mr.Craig

Fingers crossed for the Box Hill boys.

An extra incentive for a few players to perform well with a spot available in next weeks team

This is for those of you neuters who are backing Freo.

How could anyone want Crowley or Ballantyne to win?

Ross Lyon's negative scragging flooding defensive game plan is a pox on the game. Do you really want 17 other copycat teams adopting this absolutely awful strategy? Teams will win by kicking 3 goals. The Coleman will be shared by several players, all of whom end the season on 32 goals.

Please support the family club who play beautiful inspired football.

And also let's hope that Buddy's contract signing arm doesn't get hurt.

Go Hawks!

Just because the Dockers don't play a pretty brand of football does not mean that they don't play a good brand of football. Their defensive pressure in the second quarter last night was like nothing I have ever seen, and that was good football to watch. And Fremantle's top goal scorer for the year? Michael Walters with 41, which is a lot more than some of the top players at other clubs.

And it's not like every club will adopt the way that Fremantle play now, Ross Lyon has just developed a unique game style that works very well for this club. And as for Ballantyne and Crowley, well when you play against them you hate them, but they do their job so well and they are the kind of player that you want on your team.

As for me, I've been saying the Dockers will win the flag for 2 months, and I reckon if they play like they did in that second quarter, they are a fair chance at getting it. GO DOCKERS!

Same lol, priority 3 in the ballet and I haven't been a mcc member long enough to be able get one there. Really unfair how many seats go to corporates who don't go to the footy otherwise, way more seats should be given to fans.

I actually don't mind if either team win but I am supporting Freo because they deserve to win after not winning anything...ever.

Haha but best of luck to Hawks too ;)

Why does everyone say Freo deserve to win? Because they havent won before? Shall we just also give STK, WB, GC and GWS a flag too? Hawthorn have been the pinnacle of the AFL for two years, they deserve to win just as much!
