Welcome to the grand final Portย 

Absolute joke of a state.ย

I love Luke. He's a family friend, but I hate the Bulldogs, so I find this funny.

ย 

So glad we arent playing in Port....typical filth tactics.

Beveridge needs to stop whinging.ย  He is now 'warning' Port to not target Bontempelli's knee or their will be 'retribution'!

Why flag the severity of the injury.ย  If he isn't fit to withstand a bump or two, targeted or not, then don't play him.

He is beginning to sound as rattled as Scott does.

The State where the CHO warned fans not to touch the ball if it came over the fence. Especially yuo folk behind the goals.

A billion dollar industry deserves better treatment prior to a prelim. SA Premier AWOL - again.

Not a dogs issue, just generally unfair and disrespectful. Absolutely no risk given the quarantine processes in place.

Oh, and thanks for giving us Covid SA BTW due to your hotel failure earleir this year.

One wonders why they didn't negotiate some outdoor time before leaving Perth.ย ย 

They had the same restriction in Brisbane but before leaving Launceston they negotiated a trip to an oval on landing in Brisbane and then free movement between their floors in the hotel.ย  As it is theyย get no fresh air for nearly two days:ย  Perth hotel, Bus, Plane, Bus, Hotel.ย  Game time.ย ย As much as I dislike the Bulldogs this is pretty rough on them.ย ย 

I wonder if it was an oversight to negotiate something like Brisbane.

Port massive favorites at $1.20 and dogs 3.17

I get the home advantage but dogs beat them there early in the season by twenty points and only just lost by a couple in their second encounter at Marvel.

Still dont think port are that strong a chance.

Dogs just missed top four by smallest %.

Will be close and not what these odds suggest.

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if dogs get up.

Port a good team remind me of geelong who rely on wins at their home ground to carry them into the eight each year.

Personally i would prefer port in a granny but im not sure it will happen.

Hard to put money on the bulldogs.ย  They have injuries, been travelling and in quarantine for 3 weeks, limited training and no bye.

Hope the punters are right.ย  Don't want to play bulldogs in the gf.

Tassie, quarantine in Brisbane, to WA before heading to Adelaide.

Meanwhile Port have had an easy 3 weeks at home. Hope Port get up, as they will have to experience travelling (though 2 weeks prep and no quarantine helps)

I canโ€™t see what happened last night happening tonight, dogs bring their best they win but theyโ€™ve been off the boil and Port have had the crucial week off.ย 

I can see the Dogs getting off to a fast start but then being pegged back for a comfortable win to Port but I got they beat the holy hell out of each other.ย 

I think I'd rather face Port. For a few reasons. I'd feel more confident beating them and we have beaten them earlier and yes they would be travelling, we could hold there forward line, if we did happen to lose at least I wouldn't have to be in Adelaide reading about it like if the bulldogs won it would be smashed in our faces.ย 

On the other hand the dogs are banged up and if the bont was to hurt his knee further that would be massive.ย 

Port are fitter and rested. Doggies have been travelling Australia and played a huge final last week. Weightman and Keath out, Bont not fully fit. Port will win by 50 points i reckon

Seems most would prefer to play Port in the GF.

It would be interesting to see a poll on which team people would prefer to win tonight (casting aside all prejudices and viewed only by who you'd prefer in the GF). Maybe one before the match and another one afterwards.


I think the Dogs would give us more trouble than Port in the GF, that being said our boys shouldnโ€™t fear either side

Would you rather play an absolute full strength and well rested Port Adelaide who have a clearly stronger side than the last time we played them (Gray, Durrsma, a fit Butters) and are clearly on a mission this year after choking at home last year?ย 

Or a Bulldogs side that has traveled all over the place, has their leading goal kicker on the sidelines, arguably the best player in the league under an injury cloud and possibly their premier defender still on the sidelines.

Pretty easy answer I wouldnโ€™t thought.ย 

Port will run away with this in the second half as the season will have caught up with the tired Dogs who have done an obscene amount of travelling lately.

If Bont is over his knee problem, Keith is back in the side and Stef Martin is match fit than I agree they could be an issue in the GF.

However, too many ifs with the Dogs at the moment and Port are humming along nicely with a healthy squad that hasnโ€™t needed to quarantine recently.


Port have struggled and choked badly, every time this year their ball carriers and main kickers were under constant pressure. And players like Dixon, Fantasia, Motlop and Marshall can severely under-perform in big moments.

Bulldogs have also struggled to absorb opposition pressure at times, but have a much better record of winning close pressure-cooker games. They are seriously undermanned with Bruce, Weightman and Keath out which is going to make it difficult.

Port goes in heavy favourites but there is something about the Doggies that tells me they are going to make this very tough for Port.

I know what you mean, but the Dogs scare me more.

If they make it, they get the week off to rest, they'll get back Keath and Weightman, and they will have less pressure on them than Port, who like us haven't won it for ages and have some older players desperate for success (Boak, Gray, Dixon, Jonas etc.).

Don't get me wrong, Port are a strong side, but I fear the Dogs more.

I canโ€™t see the Dogs winning this. But I also canโ€™t see Port not choking in a home prelim. Itโ€™s very Port.ย

Take your point about the weeks rest.

An absolute advantage to the Dogs should they make it. Similar to how they blessed with the bye week between round 23 2016 and week 1 finals.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, weโ€™ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
