Port are pretty bad.  You'd have to be a shocking side to drop a game to them.  ?

But seriously, with the amount of talent they have on the park, there's no way they should be this bad.  They have absolutely no confidence and their defensive zone is being torn apart by the bombers' pace. 

Interesting to see how well Francisis playing given nobody wanted to touch him this time last year. 

Also interesting to see Watts.  He's gone backwards this year.  Zero contested work, not even close to winning his own ball.  He has however been good when others get the ball to him.

    Very average Fri night game. I suppose both teams have their minds on Bali and a are in self preservation mode

    He’s got a decent handball I guess..

    Long going on about a good sign for Essenscum and how they have won 5of 6 outside of Victoria and it bodes well for the future, nice to heat considering we have won I think 6 of 7 outside the big V

    I was pleasantly surprised with Essendon ruining Port's finals chance!

    I personally don't give a crap who we lost to. We're in finals baby and nothing that happened in the last 12 years matters anymore.

    Well, after all that, we would've made finals regardless of losing our last 3 matches. 

    Guess the egg is well and truly on my face. ?

    In the finals last year when port lost all the talk was that they needed to get competitors who would fight to win. Who did they get? Some of the biggest front runners in the comp. 

    I’m sure a fair few on here would know I was a Watts fan and a part of me is still sad he’s not at the club for this moment of joy but even I know that he was a downhill skier that mostly only performed well when the team was doing well. He’s not the guy that’ll chase a player down chasing him for 20m. 

    Port made their competitiveness problem worse by their recruiting. 

    We lost to Port because we failed to take our chances and were dogged by some woeful umpiring. Like a few others this year we found way to lose to Port rather than them finding a way to win.

    No one more deserving of not playing in a premiership.

    I'm more into rivals-watch so the game tonight wasn't on the radar.  Zero interest.

    The Cats aren't losing tomorrow so that's another no-watch ... so then it's twilight time but the Pies will almost certainly win so let's face it,  we're playing for 5th spot on Sunday.  But you never know.

    A win on Sunday probably means we'll probably play Geelong for the right to play the loser of 1st vs 4th ... which would be Hawks/Syd/Rich unless Collingwood find a way to lose tomorrow.

    Lose Sunday and we possibly finish 8th (if the Cats absolutely smash the Suns) but that would put us in the same scenario as is we finish 5th.  So we're back to the 5th or 8th outcome - except we'd be the away side finish 8th. 

    But does home or away matter if you're good enough to win anywhere?

    I am truly shocked, what a twist, this wasn’t how Goddard’s Bombers movie was supposed to finish.

    Just cam home from the game and it was a borefest, very average team Port. If only we smashed them we had the chance.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
