It’s like the 2000s again! Not a single Melb team in the prelims! (lemmy.ml)

Instead we’ve the lions, power, swans and cats.

Who were premiers in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007 respectively (with a cheeky eagles flag in 2006).

edit:

Or, to include repeats and losing the grand final:

The 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 07 & 09 premiers, and, the 04, 06, 07 & 08 runners up are in the prelims this year.

Not one GF in 9 years that didn’t have one of these four and only two that were win by another team.

Who's your pick for the flag? I don't see anyone beating the cats. Really don't wanna watch Dangerfield tear up the Swans in another gf.

Swans for mine. Even though Geelong has the best coach, Longmire would be the second best and Sydney has a better squad but anything could happen on the day

No idea ... I've tuned out of this season a lot for various reasons ... so I've got no clue!

There are some great stories in each of the teams remaining. I'd be happy with any of the 4. Well, Geelong can maybe wait a few years before their next chance, but any of the others.

Anyone but Geelong (dear god please)
