Good question, they were 11-4 and will miss.

Thats a massive choke.  Ollie Wines re-signed at that stage too if I recall correctly.

Should have come back to Vic.

    Wattsy starring with 3 handballs at quarter time.

    Big improvement on his stats halfway through the quarter though.

    Does the AFL hire police for matches? They're even waiting outside the coaches box to escort the coaches to the ground!

    Didn't realise you could hire out a copper.

    I'm guessing that the 250 point win Port needed to pass is on percentage is less likely to happen now.

    My god can someone tell port that they can be 8th spot tonight? 

    Thankgod the bummers can't make finals. 

    This is a disgraceful strat from port. 

    I wanted them in 8th so at least geelong had to earn there spot. 

    I know the cats won't lose but it would have made it kind of interesting.

    So looks like we would have made finals regardless of a win? And to think port were 11-4 at round 16...

    Jack Watts has been abysmal so far.

    The only one for Port who hasn't would be Ryder.

    Port look like a defeated rabble. Not even trying.

    So let me clear this in my head, Essendon pantsing Port means that in the end, we didn't actually need to win a game to make the finals anyway?

    Well, I've had a dry chuckle about that.

    But, as my lovely other half so perfectly put it "Well, ok, but this way is much nicer".

    This Port Adelaide teams smells like the team Voss had in Brisbane, when they went and got Fevola, Staker, Raines etc for [censored] all return and ultimately Voss lost his Job.

    Hinkley and co have misread this list massively and its going to set them back years of lost talent due to recruiting dud recycled players.

    Guess it looks like Kenny asked for Vossy's advice and trusted his assistant too the silly fool.

    And to think some posters on here still think Watts would still play an important role for us right now...

    He'll be delisted end of next year.

    What is it with umpires paying random half-marks at Adelaide Oval in Port games?

  • Quote

    Bit reminiscent of Melbourne vs Collingwood in the final round last year.

    We won a spot in the finals before getting it handed to us. How could you not love that?

    Port players are ignoring Watts at every turn now just like Melbourne players did.

    Watching this game between the 9th and 10th best team, we are clearly a top 8 side. Melbourne's footy is streets ahead of what these teams are producing.

    There is great joy in watching two arrogant clubs which tried to bulk-buy their way into finals each taking turns at being thoroughly crapulent.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
