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.

    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 ).

    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.

    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.

    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:

    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
