Hard to imagine a world where Port don't win by 5+ goals

Two plane rides this week for the Dogs

No Weightman

Bont on half a leg, with Treloar & Dunkley still half cooked

Three.  Tassie, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide for the PF.. 

Its weird that they didn't fly from Bris straight to Adel rather than to Perth first.  I read somewhere it was to bank some quarantine days in Perth'. 

I would have thought maximising chances of winning the PF in Adelaide would have been their first priority.  Then worry about Perth quarantine if they win the PF.

Sounds like early counting of chickens to me.  Hope they run into the karma bus!

Maybe it won't all go Port's way:  "Fantasia and fellow goalsneak Robbie Gray were placed on light duties at Alberton Oval ahead of Port's preliminary final against the Western Bulldogs on Saturday night.  The pair didn't join Port's main group, instead doing skills work on the side lines".

Red herrings or genuine issues?

Interesting on Port here.

 

Big out. Dixon can struggle with all the attention on him.

This is the forgotten prelim.

Dogs a massive chance to get into GF with very little pressure.

As an aside, I think the free kick differential is due to their name players just not getting the down side of all those 50/50 decisions - dropping the ball, incorrect disposal, holding, etc

Umpires defer to those name players ‘wouldn’t do that’ and voila 100 extra frees a year…


As good as Fantasia can be, he is as fragile as a porcaline doll, would not surprise me if he is not named or a late out.

Gray on the other hand is usually managed during a match week as a 33 y.o veteran.

I can only see a Port win, but they do have a strange way of choking when everything is completely in there favour.

Was listening to SEN earlier and they said Keath has a possible minor hammy concern and didn't participate in the main training session, in doubt for the game.

Worst possible result for the Dogs, who already have a dodgy defence, and an attack down on firepower. 

Weirdly I think they can cover Bont more easily given how many star midfielders they have, but no Keath will make it virtually impossible to win. I also can't see how they kick a winning score against the Port backline, especially with Aliir just mopping up the high ball.

Yeah agree re: Bont. Port should walk into the GF. Being honest though, the Doggies were gifted a PF from the umps anyway. So cant feel that this is a bit of karma. 


Port can literally not have an easier trot to the grand final. If they lose the prelim it will be the worst choke of all time!

Neutral supporters are saying that about us.

Neutral supporters are silly. 


I seem to recall Keath missing for a couple of games at seasons end. Dogs lost their last 3.

As important to them as May to us. We wouldn’t win a final without May. 

I recall Dustin Martin played the 2018 prelim with an injured leg, and was really ineffectual in Richmond's loss.

I see shades of that with the Dogs and Bontempelli.

Hard to see how the interstate filth can lose but gee I hope they do.


Given the preferential treatment the doggies get from the umps I've developed quite a dislike for them. Hope Port win

I also prefer to play Port in a granny. 

Port are winning this and winning this well.

Despite people’s low opinion of this club, I think they’re our genuine threat for this flag. They’re almost full strength, haven't needed to quarantine this month, have started beating top 4 sides (Dogs and Geelong) and will field a far stronger line up than the last time we played them (R Gray, Dursma, a fit Butters, etc…)

This might be their achilles heel:  easy wins so may take a while to wind up to high pressure football in a GF.

Welcome to the grand final Port 

Absolute joke of a state.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

      • Thanks

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
