Chris Scott will be screaming tonight, Home final for Port. Of course a draw tomorrow night would put an end to that problem. 

No it wouldn’t. Geelong would finish third, Port second

    Heaven forbid a result ever goes our way?

    They most certainly went our way when GWS beat Geelong, Essendon beat Dogs and St Kilda beat Sydney a couple of weeks ago.

    Should not fear anything, MFC want to play in Adelaide.

    But not against a crowd of feral Port fans, scaring the umpires into giving them everything and  lifting their team.

    For now. That’ll change soon enough.

    Chris Scott's already been on the phone to Gil stating how unfair it would be to send Geelong to Adelaide for an away final.

    Can't wait for the record free kick differential tomorrow night

    The game will be on tomorrow, as both teams I think would prefer not to play  Port in Adelaide. Winner will play Lions.

    Lol the dogs board blaming the umpires. Absolute flogs. Winning the free kick count for the year by 75+ and have certainly been kissed on the [censored] all year. Finally get called for their cheating throws and they [censored] about it

    A Brisbane team (who belted us in the first half) in red hot form at a neutral venue or a Port Adelaide team at home with all their feral supporters who’ve won their past 6.

    Neither task will be easy

    Port at a neutral venue would have been ideal.

    Remember when everyone was saying Melbourne had peaked too early and were talking up the Bulldogs?

    Well, the Bulldogs have now lost 3 in a row and we've won 3.

    I haven't rated the Bulldogs for most of the year and now it looks like they'll miss the top 4. 

    It is difficult seeing so many Bulldog figjams strutt around shaking their heads after the game, but I'll take it.

    But Port... wow, imagine them being a top 2 team this year. What a joke.

    Cats could finish second if they win. 
    They’d have to score 130 or similar to MFC 129 for their percentage to fall below PA

    Do we want to play Port in Adelaide, or the Lions in Adelaide?

    Why would be have to play in Adelaide. As home team we would get the choice. Go to Tassie

    Boak won that for Port.

    Dogs hard to like with sulky Bont, Libba, Smith, Weightman.

    But for a 3 point turnaround, tomorrow night’s game has gone from dead rubber status to first week of the finals status. Regardless of whether we’re a better side or not, playing Port in Adelaide with their crowd, and only their crowd, is a 4 to 6 goal harder job. We don’t want that, and neither do Geelong. Port are now in the finals box seat. As the only club who’ll get a home crowd for two finals at least, they have to now be favourites to make the Grand Final. Seems wrong, but there it is.

    Never when it matters. If Mufasa FC could have held on the most we would have lost tomorrow would be a minor premiership - now we’ll lose a home final and have to play the Power who have won their past 6 in a row.

    Not to bad for us.

    We have some incentive now to beat the Cats.

    Not sure if the Cats play well at home without their usual crowd. Must feel like a training drill for them.

    We have been winning and it is good form to go into a final series with winning form.

    Hoping we are too fast, fit and skillful for the old Cat. We could break them tomorrow, (as we have done to a few teams this year), and put their finals campaign in doubt.

    Great to see the Dogs fall, they have been called the team to beat, up to round 20. We have been the ones that they couldn't trust.

    Remind me again why we didn’t draft Wines! Unbelievably bad decision at the time.

    Bont 5 touches in a half of footy.

    Clarry could seal the Brownlow tomorrow if he plays well. 
     

    What an absolute disaster. Port get to host finals with their home crowd. Nothing surer than them making the grand final. If it’s at AO they can just about seal the deal.

    Nothing we can do about it but win and avoid it. 

    It’s hard to think Port can be 4-5 on the ladder for most of the year and end up hosting two finals but that’s what happens when you win your last six, including Sydney, GWS and the Dogs.

    Well they said that last year and it didn’t happen.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
