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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
