    I hope the doggies keep their foot on the gas and win by 100 points. Port deserve it

    What gives me confidence is we learned a good lesson when we got smashed for those 5 minutes against the cats in round 23. Since half time from that game we have set up a bit more defensively in the middle at center bounces, since then we have won more of the midfield battle.
    I heard on SEN today we were the best contested team over last 4 games in the comp.

    Me too. I'm not concerned about the dogs, we have more than enough fire-power in the midfield. I think we will take control by brute force if we have to. We were flat last time we played the dogs, completely different side now.

    Just one example....

    He's allowed Daniels to play his preferred defensive sweeper role all night mopping up at back of stoppage.  What's one of the coaching manual mantras...."try and neutralise or take away the known knowns"

    True. Absolutely no real change up by their coaching staff. 
    I’ve thought they are pretenders all year though…flat trackers

    I’d rather play the Bullies. Gawn will smash English in the ruck, and we have better midfield connection at present - than when we played them. Also, Allir Alir smashed us down back for Port last time - won’t miss that. I was hoping the Bullies won tonight. We will beat them. They are going to have to rely on their midfield kicking goals. And it’s unlikely they will continue to do that.

    No he didn't?

    10 disposals, 5 marks.

    They were rucking him at times, ridiculously.

    My golly goodness Port are front-runners. What a truly gutless effort. I wouldn’t want to play them in the GF. They’re not worthy of the whipping. 😎

    As much as I'd rather have faced Port in the GF, it's kinda funny seeing them get creamed after reading their BigFooty matchday thread from last night.

    An endless wall of posts saying we celebrated our Grand Final last night, how arrogant we were to rest our top 5 players in the dying minutes, how they couldn't wait to show us up as a bunch of pretenders in the Grand Final, conveniently forgetting they still had a match to win.

    And all the arrogance about sleeping in their own beds throughout finals 😆 Wow, really paid off!

    This game was there for Port if they hadn't been so awful in the first half.

    Dogs have kicked 3 goals since half time, and look nowhere near as slick as the first half.

    Dogs have to win this by 70+ to make it the most lopsided Prelim week in V/AFL history. I want them to do it so we can add it to the "Embarrassing records" thread, which I think over time will need a new name.

    So, the old saying that PFs are the best contests of the season has gone south this weekend.

    Motlop the most pure example of a port player…looks unbelievable when things are going his way

    And is hoping for a new contract from Port. Good luck with that.

    Any team that has Motlop as guaranteed selection isn’t serious. Hard to believe how flaccid and un-united Port are. Rabble….

    Just to explain - the 's' on Celtic is possessive.

    My Scottish wife and her entire family are rabid Rangers fans, and I follow Celtic because of my grandmother. It's a wonder the wedding went ahead actually.

    Ha ha, love it. Did the reception resemble Buchanan Street on an Old Firm day?

    I can barely remember a Prelim final weekend like this. For Dees and Doggie fans - absolute bliss, but as games of finals footy they have been atrocious.

    Hard to decide what’s softer, my lockdown [censored] or Port in finals.

    True! People also say they're the hardest games to win. I think Geelong and Port will tell you that's true.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
