Actually I think everything he has done tonight has been OK. All his disposals have been clean and have gone to a player in a better position. Not a game changing performance by any means but not woeful. 

I've lost count how many times thats been said about him over the journey.

Hes a 171 game veteran, and yet still plays like a 2nd year player.

    Bombers massively overrated by media. Have had a charmed run meeting injury depleted sides for their “best wins”. GWS, WCE, Port, even Sydney were missing plenty. Not to mention Richmond last week. Ladder absolutely reflects where they are at.

    Cameron Ling writing us off in the finals due to lack of experience, and the Cats can go deep in September but hes not being biased he said.....

    Well he has gone to the "Channel 7 finishing school" to be able to come out with waffle like that. Biased my foot. Stupid, stupid comment only outdone by his looks.

    He was also one of the lowest ranked players on the field. His career is running on fumes now unfortunately. This will be his last contract.

    Potting Watts, Motlop and Rockliff is barking up the wrong tree

    Port have a massive cultural issue with the likes of Wingard, Gray, Westhoff and Dixon

    Selfish footballers who never, ever involve teammates

    It might be Watts' last contract, ever, but Hinkley needs to take charge now or he'll be gone too

    With Ports loss we are now guaranteed to play in September. Well done boys. 

    Say what???

    Port could have won by 40 goals and they still wouldn't have made it. 

    Geelong were the only ones with any interest in that game and I doubt they were even watching.

    So it turns out our drought-breaking, finals-securing win was the 90+ point win over Gold Coast two weeks ago. Sure didn't feel like it at the time.

    Imagine we lost last week and tomorrow, most likely 4 teams would miss finals on %. Crazy year!

    You obviously didn't notice Westhoff mark 30 out on an angle, but clearly gettable, pass to Ryder straight in front, but a bit further out.

    Westhoff had 5 goals at the time and that would have been number 6 for him.

    The Hoff and Robbie Gray are two of the most unselfish and brilliant players in the competition

    Westhoff in particular is severely underrated everywhere outside of Alberton

    Port’s midfield is very one-paced outside of Polec - and it looks like he’s definitely on his way to North for their first round pick, which they are desperate to get rid of so that they aren’t forced to pay ‘overs’ for Tarryn Thomas

    Goddard - anyone?  It’s not beyond reality. He is still very good. 

    As our runner. He'd be great at delivering the messages.

    Goddard to maybe the Blues or GC,  but nowhere else IMO.

    Oh well BJ won't get to star in his premiership movie he said would be written after the drugs saga.

    Hird can now stop predicting essendon can win the premiership.

    No, I only watched snippets of the yawn fest

    My post is based on long term observations and actions, not one incident

    Posters are bagging out Watts, et al, but their cultural issues run deep

    Ports mid-field was seriously exposed. 

    With Leuenberger off the field, Ryder should have had a field day with Stringer as his opposing ruck.  But there was no-one to hit it to.  Incredible. 

    Ollie Wines not sighted for most of the match.  Wingard doing anything but kick the ball.  Gray looking for the season to end.  If it wasn't for Westhoff kicking 5 the result would have been very, very ugly......and we don't want to give the drug cheats that much hope for next season.

    Incorrect. Geelong is likely to win, therefore if Port were to win by 150 and we were to lose by 150, they'd have come in for us. It went right down to the wire.

    OK you got me there Prada....  But I think it would have to be closer to dare I say it 186 each way lol. 

    Our +/- is over 500, Ports is just over 100!

    Freo, please show some pride and avenge last weeks woeful performance. 

    Nobody, I repeat nobody, wants the Pies to finish top 4 and everyone wants Melbourne to steal 4th spot from them.

    • 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?
