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”.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
