    They choked badly against the doggies in the 21 PF so they have psychological scars to overcome. No guarantee they’ll make it but I think they will. 

    That’s what they said about us in 21 re playing a PF in WA. I didn’t spot our mental scars that night and I highly doubt  Port will be losing a final in Adelaide… they’re just a much better side in 23.  Just hope it’s not us that have to play them there.

    We have the defensive game to win at AO if required. I reckon we're the team others will fear most given how we strangled the pies offensive game. No one will want to play us.

    And i'm delighted the cast were beaten. they were not a factor at all after quarter time.

    We just posted simultaneously Wells

    I agree. They are a better team than 21. Time will tell if they can push through to the granny but they are very well placed now. I can't see anyone out of us, pies, Port and Lions winning it. And the Lions are showing some familiar frailties again. 

    as i said in my previous post, i think we have the game plan to win at AO if required.

    Our chance to finish top 2 was taken when we lost to them by 4 points. That was every bit an 8 point game. So most likely we’ll finish 3rd and play them week 1, a game I think we can win.

    My ladder predictor exercise after last night says that IF we can beat the cats next week, top of ladder finish is now a possibility on percentage from Pies and Power.  Power finishing top relies on a couple of tough wins needed for them. 

    Lose to the cats and not possible.

    Better chance of second, third more possible, at least allowing a minimum home final in week two.

    Just saying having seen the Dees live last week.

    Watched the last 5 mins only. Biggest take out is that the dissent rule does not apply to Hawkins. 

    It wasn’t just Hawkins. JHF audibly told the umpire to F Off when he got paid HTB and nothing was done. 

    Dissent rule is no longer flavour of the month 🙄

    Pies look tired. They could easily drop some games and give us the chance to overtake them. Crows, suns and doggies in their next 3. Not an easy run at all.

    I have felt that for quite some period of this season teams have found an extra gear in order to take us on . We were THAT scalp.

    I sense the mantle has moved to Collingwood.   Works for me.

    David King's first comment at the half time commentary " A coaching masterclass by Chris Scott" King  is a jerk at times, more often than not.

    The ‘King’ of the ‘goldfish’ commentators only ….. no awareness of the past, absolutely zero concern for the bigger picture within a season. Whoever is in form and winning during his astonishingly limited 5 minute zone of reflection is the obvious team to beat/likely premier. Am stunned that he’s presented as a serious commentator.

    History shows Dangerfield would call a ambulance for a paper cut.  There has been several times he has taken himself off the ground and out of the game because he felt the slightest twinge.  Unlike our man Clarry who played out a game with a torn hammy.

    Port are due for a loss. 

    They are and now teams will put more time into studying what they do and how to beat them. Let's see how they go in the 2nd half of the year. I'll happily play then anywhere and be confident we would win

    Was it ever going to be any other way?

    Their cache only allows for one front of mind thing at a time and right now it's dangerous tackles. Dissent to the back of the bus.

    It’s a fair point you can’t be at 100% for the whole year, this time last year we would have been favourites still and Geelong were just starting to get rolling

    Port is now the true test of the theory that if you peak too early you'll be too banged up by September. Theyre 12-2.  Massive mid season bye. Dont play again till July.

    Some difficult games coming up but can see them finish on 17 or 18 wins  definitely top2.   Home finals.

    Must be one of the favourites unless  Butters Rozee Wines etc get run over by a bus.

    There’s many such players. Conversely, you won’t find many players with a short torso and long legs. Not really suited to Aussie Rules.

    Port have 16 days between games. We got 10 for our bye . We always seem to get screwed by the fixture

    I hate Hawkins, Rohan + Scott. I think I've forgotten another person I hate. No matter.

    I kinda like Stewart, Blicavs, Henry (the odd looking one) & Zac Guthrie.

    I hate Jee-long (clap/clap/clap) but not as much as I used to; cos Selwood is no longer there.

    Yes but we will have 3 x 10 day breaks in a row.

    We will be the most rested, freshest team in the comp ready to take on the rest of the season.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
