2013 AFL Grand Final

[Matador]

Hate freo! Playing dirty football against Geelong.

It was very physical, but I wouldn't say dirty. When Zac Dawson's bumping people off the ball and Ryan Crowley's harassing Brent Harvey, yeah, that's dirty, but they've played that intense, physical style all year, and it cracked Geelong.

Talking about Geelong...anyone backing them tomorrow night?

Not me. Hawks fan here. I'd expect a close game. But the Hawks are in good shape right now.

[brenden]

Hawks'll take it out. Hawthorn premiers 2013.

[BasicAcid]

Well I thought Geelong would've won, but it doesn't matter either way.

Freo 2013.

[mikehepro]

My prediction was correct. But it was a bloody close game aye. i nearly had a hear attack when Geelong could of kicked a goal at the last min.

So now everybody ditches the Geelong bandwagon and joins the Freo bandwagon I'm assuming.

Pavlich defs deserve a premiership. Win the hawks plz. I hate ballantyne and crowley though.

There's probably no bandwagon it's just Freo has never won so it would be deserving if they did.

Yes it would be fantastic for them to win it. It's just for the last few years, even the last 10 years actually, everyone has thought of Fremantle as the laughing stock of the AFL. Remember the joke "The only thing that hasn't docked at Fremantle is a premiership".. think that's how it went. No one gave them a chance at all even though they have a quality coach. It's just recently they've been praised for their efforts. A few weeks ago it was "Geelong at home are unbeatable they cant win" and the betting agencies had them at ridiculously low odds.. from people believing that Freo had no chance of beating the 2nd team in the comp, now they believe that they can beat the strong premiership favourites.

[Dayman]

Good point. And true as it maybe I believe the bandwagon is a good thing in this case Freo needs all the support they can get.

Ps I loved the sportsmanship Sydney and Freo demonstrated at the end of the prelim finals.
