    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
