According to the modelling we're the least favourite in Week 01.

 

So, this modelling says that we should win, but with less likelihood of winning than the other three predicted winners. (Idk if I’m getting it right.)

    Swans are the real smokey, I would not be surprised if they made the Prelim.

    They are indeed and i feel more confident against lions...cats and dogs than them.

    Why? Mills is probably cooked for the year, Kennedy has half a leg too.

    Not sure why everyone is giving Port no chance. It is their home ground, and Geelong might be super flat after last week. They are also likely to blow up in the last quarter with all the old legs and no pre-finals bye.

    I give Port a massive chance, and frankly I prefer they win, as I think we are more chance to beat them than Geelong.

    I think we definitely want Port Adelaide to win if possible, Geelong having to go the long way with no pre finals bye and an older list definitely makes things harder for them, and they'd be a chance to lose to a team like Sydney in a semi final as well.

    Geelong out in straight sets. Mentally and physically cooked.

    I want us to give Port a lesson somewhere during the finals.

    They were hoping to play us instead of Geelong this week. MFC still dont get the respect we deserve.

    Port smell blood and they get to play a home final with a crowd behind them

    Genuinely torn on who I want to win this, if Cats win then facing them in the Grand Final would be big. And while we’ve been able to arrest a lot of the demons that have been held, I must admit I’d still prefer to avoid them where possible.

    I want Port to win! I believe if we’re lucky to make it to a GF I think we can beat them.

    Geelong can only win if Hawkins and Cameron both pull hamstrings…

    Ports 2021 losses.
    Rd 3 Eagles by 37 WA
    Rd 7 Lions by 49 QLD
    Rd 9 Dogs by 19 AO
    Rd 13 Cats by 21 AO
    Rd 17 Dees by 31 AO

    Ports last 3 weeks : 

    Beat crows by 4 points 

    Beat Carlton by 95, Carlton had no Cripps, Williams, McKay

    Beat an underperforming Dogs by 2 points.

    Had we lost last week they would of won the minor premiership without beating 2nd, 3rd or 4th through out the home and away season. Doubt that has ever happened before. Would like them to win tonight against a Geelong side with no Tuohy and Stewart, but it’s a big ask for a supposedly inform team which has done little to date.

    Beating a side 3 times in a year is a tough call so Geelong would be a massive challenge in a prelim or a GF. Aside from WC over Collingwood in 2018 I can't think of too many sides that have done it.

    For some reason I have it in my head that Port are shoe-ins tonight.

    Could get your wish; shall be watching Dangerfield's calf muscles, in a non-homeoerotic* fashion, with great interest.

    *not that there's anything wrong with that...

    I don’t care who wins as long as they belt the living daylights out of each other.

    Man I sick of seeing Geelong in finals - 15 bloody years.  I hope Danger never wins a flag and I hope Selwood doesn't win one as captain and I hope Scott doesnt win his first real flag (the canteen lady could have coached them in 2011).

    Glad I'm not being too emotional or childish about this. 

    In summary, I don't like the Cats

    The only downside I see to Port winning is that we then MUST win tomorrow to avoid going down the path that would lead to a Prelim in Adelaide. 

    Whereas If Geelong wins, and Covid situation stays as it, we'll play all our remaining games in Perth, regardless of our result v Brisbane.

    • 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.
