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.

    Anybody just see that power fan giving Dixon the middle finger on the boundary? 
     

    Absolutely horrible.

    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...

    Trying to find another device to get both on!

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

    A fit list and home advantage and this is the best Port can muster. They don;t deserve to be in a prelim

    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.

    Port are seriously just woeful. This is the most disgraceful finals performance I’ve ever seen.

    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”.

    Hinkley looks bored at times.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
