It will be the first AFL Grand Final I watch, but any team other than your own winning a competition three times in a row becomes boring, so I'll be hoping the Eagles can do it.
Looking forward to 2016 with Charlie Dixon at Port Adelaide!
For me, I actually respect a team being able to win three in a row. The AFL is so brutal, and especially Hawthorn losing a once in a generation kinda player in Buddy and still getting better after that. Just the prototype footy side. I F***ing hate fairytale sides unless they're mine, so Eagles coming from 9th last year to win it all would piss me off. Hawthorn winning it would be status quo, whatever. Any victorian side besides Collingwood doesn't bother me too much - AND the last time a team won three in a row? Port won it the next year.
So F***ing sign me up for Charlie Dixon and the 2016 Premiership
Also Shaun Burgoyne is still a favorite of mine, son of Port Adelaide. Deserves all the good he's gotten.
I hate the fact that you can already tell the Hawks will smash them. Eagles have no chance. Going to be a very boring GF.
If Eagles aren't overawed in the opening stanza, it'll be a fantastic game I reckon. I do worry that experience will show though.
