Grand Final thread

Apparently Callum Mills has just been ruled out of the GF. On form they aren't actually missing much - he was just going since his return. I wonder if that opens the door for Taylor Adams to come in, or will they go Robbie Fox as a more versatile sub/option instead?

It will depend on if they want defensive support in Fox or midfield impact which could be Taylor Adams.

Brisbane biggest weapons are in the forward half of the ground. I think they would go in with No Change and keep Fox as the sub.

I agreed with you (I think it was you anyway) on playing him being a free hit, because either he does his string again immediately or was probably gonna be fine, but apparently Swans have some pretty bad PTSD from playing unfit guys in 2016 and 2022.

But yeah OMac is a much bigger out.

I said that about Oscar Mac and him popping his shoulder again, which goes to show how little I know about footy. I thought they could just load him up with elephant juice and pop it back in again - easy for me to say!

I think if Oscar Mac didn't pop out his shoulder the second time they may well have taken the risk.

Can Brisbane end the Vic. bias and become the first team outside Victoria to lose back-to-back Grand Finals?

[josie]

I was kinda hoping Swans win as I don?t like Dunkley (for unknown reasons I didn?t warm to him that much even when he played for us, and especially so after he wanted out to bummers). Also the whole Hawks alleged racism saga make me a bit meh about Brissy coach.

However I really like Daniher who seems to have a happy go lucky attitude with good sportsmanship and is fun to watch when not playing us. Also most of the Lions players seem reasonably likeable.

Also think Heeney appears to be a really good role model/bloke too, plus an out and out gun player, a bit like our Bont.

Great for Fitzroy & South Melbourne fans to have an exciting week too. So I?m now hoping it?s a good, tough, high skilled GF without a blowout (if it is to be one of those one sided affairs hope it?s Swans), and am not too fussed who wins.

Interested to hear which team, if any, woofers are gonna barrack for & why?

Not Brisbane. Yes Dunkley is there but more importantly Fagan in there. Swans are deserving winners this year. Might stop bitching about 2016 if they win too

I hope they win with a dodgy free after the siren. It would be amazing to return serve after all these years

Prediction time....

Swans by 10 points after being behind all day.

I reckon the Lions are the better side however they've come from fifth and it's impossible to win from outside the top 4.

Grundy will own Fort too.

Norm : Heeney
FG : Joe!

I have been saying this about the Swans for a couple of months.

[soupman]

Sydney are such sooks and for one of the most advantaged teams going around they love to talk about how hard done by they are. Plus Papley.

So Brisbane I guess.

However, Fagan and Zorko make it hard. And I do think the idea of Dunkley having 3 GF losses to his name is appealing.

[Go_Dogs]

I’ll be going for Brisbane I think.

Attending this year as I have for the last few years also. Hoping for a game more like 2023 than 2022.

Bailey for the Norm and Joe for first goal.

[bornadog]

I don't really care who wins, all I want is a close game

[bulldogtragic]

Tied at full time.
