    Glad we dodged the Port bullet.

    Totally unfair to have teams have no Home Ground advantage but QLD and SA teams do. Should have both Prelims in Perth / especially since GF will be there. 

    Same as last year though. Richmond got past Port Adelaide in the prelim.

    We can avoid this unfairness by winning tomorrow, too.

    Except for our best performance of the year, when we beat Port Adelaide.

    True that. Hope it’s an Adelaide Oval thing….

    Port are in the box seat to make the Grannie now, with a home Prelim.

    They cocked it up last year when they got the ride of home games, won the first final and hosted a side who'd been hubbing all year.

    But clearly we do not want to lose tomorrow and be sent to their prelim.

    We’d likely have to get over the Dogs first. Needing to beat the Dogs and then Port in Adelaide just to make the GF would be a very tough road.

    I’ve said all season Geelong play horrible football. Solid defensively, but with the ball it’s a pale and boring imitation of prime Hawks. Baffles me how they almost finished top. The last 3 weeks they’ve come up against good teams that wouldn’t accept that boring chippy [censored] and it’s shown them up beautifully.

    Geelong are cooked cooked cooked, imagine have grandpa's like Isaac Smith and Shaun Higgins for another 2 years, Geelong are going into next year with a even older side, dangerous is cooked, Hawkins is cooked, Mitch Duncan get heaps of the ball but does not hurt, the most overrated player.

    I think we were all more scared of their personnel than their game style. That aura has completely disappeared now.

    O’Connor getting injured is a huge blow for Geelong. He’s their main tagger and if we come up against them in the Prelim, it’s comfortable knowing Oliver won’t get tagged by him.

    Probs sound like a cranky toddler but this is so not fair! Why shouldn’t they have to play their prelim in WA. Understandable if there’s no other choice but for the purposes of a level playing field, don’t let em sleep in their owns beds then after two weeks off, play at home with their own fans. What a gift!

    Geelong cheat to make  top 4 every year, there game plan is good in home and away,, but more often then not it does not stand up in finals, imagine they are going into next year with most of their veteran signed up, dangerous and Selwood are cooked, are only good for cameos.

    • 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?
