Have to disagree.

Geelong had 31 scoring shots to 20 and 65 inside 50's to 39. The Cats missed a few easy ones too while Port's last two goals came out of their backsides. Had Geelong kicked straighter, it could easily have been a blowout.

Kudos to Port for their great season but I suspect that clubs will now start working them out. Their entry into the forward 50 is often very wide and hence, their inaccuracy.

Have to disagree. A lot of the Cats misses were rushed or from further out and not gimmes.

Port missed a number of shots from straight in front, one by Boak 10 metres out. They were dominating at the time. Kick those and and instead of 23 points up at half time it could have been it could have been 50.

Yes Geelong dominated the 3rd quarter but if they were 50 down at half time I think Port would have hung on.

Also I thought that the Cats got some soft goals from frees,

Anyway, with those 4 goals at least added, then Port wins.

Thank you again Swans, I slept soundly last night after a few weeks of disrupted sleep.

Going out for brekkie now, maybe a banana smoothie would be in order, to celebrate the restoration of the natural order. ( Top 4 teams left in finals ).

OMG do you mean Carlton lost?

But Freo is still in the Finals!

I just want the Purple People to be 10 goals up in the Grand Final at three Quarter time and lose the game by 1 point.

Then the 2013 AFL Season will not be a total waste.

Its good to see the demon colours triumph across the nation

Milawa had a comprehensive victory over Glenrowan in the grand final

Dont know that there's any prospective recruits and imagine there will be plenty of Brown Bros product consumed as well as the usual Mad Monday ale.

Not me. I will be supporting the winner of the Freo/Swans final in the GF.

South Fremantle, East Fremantle or just Fremantle I view them all the same. The Enemy!

Plus I was at a Corporate Function with Fremantle this year and they when taking the micky out of the MFC. A few years ago at a game with my Dad their mascot went to shake my hand and then gave me an insulting gesture as I was wearing MFC gear. The more I see Fremantle the more want them to lose.

But agree with Sydney winning the Flag.

West Perth's Reserve side has also made next weeks Grand Final. So it will be a West Perth v's South Fremantle Reserve GF.

At this stage it could be a Perth Derby League GF with West v's East. But it only the second quarter in the Preliminary Final.

The Red and Blue are unstoppable LOL

Unfortunately I think the Swans are going to get pumped.

They will have to front up next weekend battered and bruised.

Freo Easy IMO.

Hawks will be too good for Geelong, Chapman suspended and there goes four goals.

Hawks vs Freo GF

Go Hawks

I am rapidly losing interest in the football.

Uni Blacks went down yesterday in the Prelim, but it has been a good year after winning the Second division last year to make a prelim in the first year back in the top division is a good result.

My country team is out.

My major interest is now Norwood in SA and the Falcons in WA.

The up side is the NBL starts in a couple of weeks time.

You mean go Dockers, surely you are sick of Hawthorn success.

OD I can confirm it will be an West Perth (Falcons) v's East Perth (Royals) WAFL Grand Final.

Results:

Round 1 Mar 16 West Perth 19.18 (132) East Perth 9.3 (57) Arena Joondalup

Round 11 Jun 3 East Perth 17.12 (114) West Perth 14.11 (95) Medibank Stadium

Round 19 Jul 27 West Perth 10.14 (74) East Perth 6.8 (44) Arena Joondalup

Games went to the Home teams during the season. GF will be played at Subiaco (Paterson) Oval.

East Perth Home Ground was once called Leederville Oval which was the Home Ground for the Wast Perth Football Club for well over 70 plus years. In 1994 the Falcons moved to Joondalup to improve its recruiting / zone plus financial incentives.

You mean go Dockers, surely you are sick of Hawthorn success.

No!

I am a Victorian dyed in the wool

And as you have no doubt guessed I like the Hawks

That's disappointing to hear.

That's disappointing to hear.

I am with OD on this one. One part of me doesn't really care, and thinks that a case could be made why each of the three who will miss out "deserve it". Another part of me (the loyal Victorian) is always happy to see Sydney or Fremantle lose rather than Geelong or Hawthorn. A win for the latter will make my father-in-law happy, but as unpopular as it may be on here, I think I actually want Geelong to win. But if they don't, I am sure I will find a reason to be happy about it ... :blink:

You cannot please everyone Redleg.

We will just have to agree to disagree on this one!

Interesting!

A point my father has made to me on many occasions.

"Son why are you supporting a Victorian team and Melbourne at that?"

"Because Dad the only good Fremantle team is a totally defeated one, plus I hate the Eagles for what they did to West Perth!. I will never support either of the two local AFL teams!"

Does this view make me a Bad 4th Generation West Australian ?

I actually consider myself very loyal West Australian (Sandgroper) but still support and a member of the MFC. Which I am a much more passionate supporter of then I ever was as a WCE supporter. I would even go as far to say that for the first time I feel more passionate about my AFL team then my local WAFL team (another Host Club arrangement just has me wondering why don't they just close down the WAFL officially, instead of this stupid policy of driving away any remaining supporters from the competition)

AFL is what I had called Corporate Football as it focuses on making money over having a fair and equitable competition e.g. the Collingwood's dream Home & Away Fixtures. Player moving between teams is now also very much encouraged, so IMO there much less loyalty to Clubs and the Players. Player recruitment seems more like the old Viking raiding party on another Football Club, just take what you want without really giving anything back.

My West Australian Team is the West Perth Falcons who once was called the Victorians (original Club name) which was established in 1885 (older then Collingwood) and remains a members owned Club.

My Australian Football League Team is the Melbourne Football Club due to also being the oldest Club in its League (any League really) its colours, theme song and a members owned Club,

The WCE is owned by a company and the Dockers is owned by the WA Football Commission which also owns all the shares of the WCE parent company as well. Therefore both of them are not membership owned so why should I support or be a member of either of these teams?

Anyway Go Sydney, Hawks, Cats!

The Purple Plague can go stuffed!

Further to my previous re success of Milawa demons.

Are there any other red and blue finalists in other leagues?

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
