they played gyros at 1/4 time

most wa-based artists are melbourne residents these days so can't see the likes of them or jebs or the like playing the half-time / post-game concert

maybe the flairz can come outta retirement

Tame Impala. 👍🏽

     Hawkins what a fair player he is . If he's not hitting, pushing or holding people behind the play, he's trying to drive them into the ground or accidentally put his elbow or forearm into no particular part of any body and I would hate to have a sob like him playing  for us..

[Colm 1,486]

We got this folks

Why does Port get 15 days off

We get 14 days off.  Shouldn't make any difference to either team.

That was a bog ordinary game. 

Objectively we are a much better side than Geelong and should win if we can avoid a run of goals like last time.

Nonetheless I’ll be having nightmares all week.

Well if we win the prelimin then we get the extra day break heading into the GF.

Why does Port get 15 days off and a game against the lower ranked finals team in a prelim for finishing 2nd? 
 

Riddle me that. 

Because the AFL wants every team to get a 7-day break in finals, there is bugger all difference between a 13 and a 15 day break and we got the easier of the qualifying final match-ups. If we can’t roll Geelong we don’t deserve to win.

If we end up playing Port in the GF we will have both hosted games against the Cats and Lions to get there so same same. And you could argue we have a bigger advantage vs Geelong given the rest week.

Plus we’ll get an extra day before the GF if we make it.

Riddle me that. 

Are you serious?

There's no meaningful difference between 13 days and 15 days off. They're obviously going to give Geelong and the Dogs/Lions winner 7 days each rather than give Geelong 8 days but Dogs/Lions 6 days.

And Port gets the "lower ranked" finals team in the prelim because they already had to beat the higher ranked finals team in their QF.

Are you seriously complaining about this?

Gives us the extra day off if we win before the Grand Final. We also beat the lower ranked team last week so a cross over has to happen.

Just win Dees.

I believe we can cover the Cats players, it’s the guys in yellow that really me on tonight’s performance. Not totally sure we can cover all of them. 

[Stiff Arm 4,415]

No goals by Giants until about 10 mins into the 2nd quarter will kill a team every time.

We must come out with huge pressure from the start next week.

would be fab, but they are currently touring the states

[Gawndy the Great 7,743]

The Giants had 2 players with less than 5 games played tonight. They have a mammoth injury list. 
Cats were almost full squad. Danger can’t play with a tag. 

Cats had 3-4 goals from pretty soft frees.

I reckon Hawk will carry that cork into next week so time for May to get even.

Given our last PF performance, I’m sure Goody and the playing group will come out breathing fire to make amends for it.

Might just be time to review that game after all, Goody. Get the boys angry and pumped.

[Stiff Arm 4,415]

At least 2 of Hawkins' goals were blatant frees against. Huge push in back and 'dont argue' to the face.

Who were the umps tonight? They can [censored] right off till 2022

[Fork 'em 6,583]

It's that time of year.
Doesn't matter who we play.
We gotta beat them all.
Doesn't matter what order

Large number of our 22 didn't play in that game. No longer needed imo.

Half the team will say about half the side in red and blue, "who are these doofuses and who let them onto a footy field?"

Just consign that match to the history books and never look back.

Gawn, Petracca, Viney, Oliver, Harmes, Salem and ANB did.Get those fellas motivated and pumped and it will go a bloody long way to winning.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,018]

You challenge the best to be the best.

It's as simple as that.

We've had our break, now its time to crush these mofo's into submission. 

No excuses or theories about 13 day vs 15 day break we just pulverise these [censored] into oblivion.

It's a prelim final.
They've been thinking about this month all year.
They'll be ready to eat lightning and crap thunder.
