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.

Good point Titan but maybe a bit of tempo footy in the 2nd half as well...

If I can stay awake I might hang on for the Brentford game at midnight.

Port and Geelong won't go anywhere until they fix their respective inherent problems.

Geelong's gameplan doesn't work in finals.

Port cannot deal with pressure.

Absolutely spot on.

For both Dogs and Dees, our gameplan works and we both deal well with pressure.

Bingo.

Geelong's game plan is soft.

In Port's case, its some of their players.

Can't deal with pressure and don't work hard enough to close down space when they lose possession.  Too many prefer to guard space instead.

Fumble fingers from too many tonight also whereas the Dogs were very slick / one touch in that first half.

Credit to the dogs. Finish 5th travel everywhere and come out and out this performance on. 

But I'm sure Goody will look back on where we went wrong last time they beat us. Macrae and Bont performed well and we have to clamp down on Caleb Daniel as he was allowed to do what he wanted. 

I feel we have the advantage with Maxy in the ruck and hopefully our forwards can stand up and kick straight. Naughton will need to be kept quiet. 

It's going to be a good game.

Bailey Smith is absolutely on fire. He is killing them. I have no idea who plays on him.

I guess it's fitting that the best two teams of 2021 end up in the Grand Final together, but if the Bulldogs win in a fortnight the AFL must scrap the pre-finals-grand-final-whatever-final bye.

We should not be disadvantaged for finishing as minor premiers then winning both finals, while another team (who blew up their top 4 position) is rewarded with a week off to rest up before the big dance.

It was already a farce back in 2016, it will be even worse with the last-minute scheduling change in 2021.

The AFL would be hating Dees v Dogs grannie. Our band wagon will be a little lighter in two weeks.

Really chuffed though that two under dog teams are going to be going at it.

Hinkley is probably hosting the boring luncheon. It’s titled “how to choke”.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
