If Clarko has just told the truth that he is taking next year off to travel the world, then Ross Lyon is probably the next Blues Coach.  

Adam Cerra was on his way to Richmond mid year, before the Carlton slide, last 6 weeks or go that dynamic change from staying at Freo or going to Carlton.

So from around that time his player manager must have gotten a sniff that Ross was the next boss of the blues.

It is simple really. We want the dogs to win so then the result tmrw night does not matter. If port wins we have to beat geelong or play port in port. Having said that I don't mind playing them over there anyway.

I would like to see freo win and essenscum [censored] themselves against the filth. It is not very often that you would be glad if the filth won but them the breaks this weekend.

I'm conflicted, want dogs to win to secure top 2. 

But would also love them to lose for a bit of excitement Saturday night with our game and the lions game. 

Would also be nice the see the dogs completely choke the end of season something their supporters kept saying was going to happen  to us.

Kind of amazing really that Ross Lyon rejected Collingwood on the basis of club instability, yet is still prepared to entertain an offer from Carlton.  Kind of has the same overtones as when he took over the reins at Freo in similar circumstances, where the rug was pulled out from under the feet of an existing coach.  I'm really not sure thay quality things that people say about Ross are justified on this basis.

One constant though is that players who played under him love him.  Must be something in that

Such an interesting end to the home and away season.

The Dogs and Port will be bashing hard into each other.

Hoping Dogs get it, so our game against Cats hasn't got as much riding on it.

Other than Dogs getting the mojo back on (not good for us), would not like the Port to get home finals.

Doggies form has tailed right off the last few weeks. Reckon Port will win tonight

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,845]

Bont first goal!

This guy stands in our way of premiership glory.

[Demon Jack 6,911]

Fast start Doggies!

[kev martin 9,937]

Dog's starting well.

Port can't get the ball.

If they do, they can't keep it, and don't make the best of their chances.

I was thinking all week that Bulldogs winning would be the best outcome for us, because we would finish top 2 regardless of tomorrow's result.

Having given it further thought, there might be a bit more too it. I see Geelong as our main competition. If tomorrow's game becomes a 'live' game, and the game is played with both sides trying to win, I think we are in a much better position than Geelong to go for broke and win due to Geelong's injuries. Given the age profile of Geelong's team, I think that will also hamper Geelong next week, regardless of whether they beat us or not, which means they may end up fatiguing near the end of the finals. I think we can cop it, they can't, so maybe it might be better for Port to win?

Also, I can't stand the Dogs! Mind you, they are already 3 goals up!

Bont tearing this game to shreds early on

[Jaded No More 68,944]

Dogs are angry and Port are downhill skiers. I love it. 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Port are really off their game.

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,249]

Does anyone else think that Robbie Gray looks like Jimmy Somerville of The Communards/Bronski Beat?

footscray's pressure is melbourne-esque

Well so much for a close game.

Dogs are sharp

[Demon Jack 6,911]

Daniel's kicking is a treat to watch. 

[Stiff Arm 4,419]

Hannan doing well this quarter. Pleased for him

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,778]

Umps getting twitchy towards Port

[whatwhat say what 22,773]

pear needed that

[BDA 22,755]

Port are poor. My preference is a dogs win but i don't want Port to play them back into form either. I'd rather a hard fought battle
