Has anyone been watching the Finals games? We were hoping for a Sydney victory last weekend but ah well. I think our mantra now is "Beat Collingwood"... My dream is to one day go to the Grand Final game! |

Our team is the Swannies. Poor Andrew - all his teams lost that day! Schalke (German soccer league), Swannies, and the Wallabies lost to the All-Blacks. Thank fuck the Dragons are doing well! |

Ooooh close game against the All Blacks this weekend. We've been watching All Blacks/Wallabies games at the bar, and my boyfriend never sounds as Australian as when he shouts GO YOU BEAUTY at the Wallabies running for a try.  He backs the Crows, but obviously this will all change when/if Tassie gets an AFL team. |

tassie should have been given the option of entering a team well before a second team for either qld or nsw... after all, they are thugby states, not aussie rules... |

With all march up north of the blue rinse brigade, I think QLD is a good choice for an AFL expansion team but I do have to say that poor ol Tassie definitely deserved it first. |

I don't know... I've heard of quite a few Victorians that have moved up here and now support the Lions because its the closest team to where they live... I will probably be the same and support the Suns - I can see the stadium from my house Its just easier when you start attending games week in and week out to support the team that is from your area. I switched NFL and baseball allegiance when I moved from Minnesota to Washington.

Haha no they are definitely the underdogs this year...after losing in the last 6 preliminary finals they've been in we're not getting too excited for Saturday...I can't stand St Kilda though after last years preliminary final when Riewolt got his stupid free kicks just for being him! And they won by one goal on the siren...I was nearly in tears and hoarse at the same time...I've never left the MCG faster either  haha

I'm anti-St. Kilda after they kicked Max Hudgson in the guts last year for the Final. Pathetic. I think the Dogs might have their work cut out for them... are you going to the game? |

I'm a St. Kilda fan because they're the closest team to where I live and I thought that they were robbed in last year's grand final. Strangely enough I'm supporting a winner because most of my US sports teams are or have been horrible, with few exceptions. |
