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.

Yep, make Libba cry. It will be tough, but if anyone can do it, it's JV.

Trying to find another device to get both on!

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...

Ken Hinkley:  I feel your pain.

Chris Scott:   I feel your pain, too.

Ken Hinkley:  Let's talk about it ...

Chris Scott:   I ... I... just want to cry ...

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.

I'm looking forward to Kane Cornes take on this game

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 should have played Geelong. We may have got a close game tonight 😂

Seriously compare Hinkley to Goody........Goody is practically playing on the ground during a game...Hinkley looks like hes at a boring luncheon..

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.

Only took until the last 20 seconds for a Port player to actually have an impact
