I will never understand why people melt after wins on here when we have rounds like this. 

Felt guilty barracking for Freo today, but it couldn’t have worked out any better. 

Footy is our religion.

As I suspected, they went hard early because Ken’s job is very much on the line. It’s impossible to sustain for 24 rounds then finals. 
Will they find a third gear in time?

Only @binman can answer this one 😂

My take is it extremely difficult to back up after a game as intense and physical as last weeks pies port game - particularly if it is another high stakes, high pressure game.

I mean, the evidence simply could not be clearer.

It's not that the pies and port, first and second on the ladder, both lost.

It's how they lost - both teams were gassed from the get go.

I wouldn't be writing port off on the back of that game. 

That said i think it is a joke so many 'experts' had a top three - pies, port and lions - and the rest.

And I'm glad I've banged in about it. Peanuts everywhere in the media.

And on port - I didn't rate them in the top 3 prior to that game. So nothing has changed.

My one regret on the punting front is not backing the crows over 39. 

Had the line and win bets covered, but should have had a nibble on the over 39 because that game was my best bet of the year. The crows were set for it. And as I expected port were gassed.

There’s a lot to like about Adelaide.

BigFooty Port Adelaide (don't mind this):

The blinds will be down for spa time tonight down at hinkley palace. Donna has the swing out, the greyhound dog crate, the greyhound leash and the bunny soft toy.

I may be going 0-9 hahaha

Obviously I want to be 1-8, Dees over the Tigers 🤞🏻

I don't think I have seen a round of football with this many upsets ever will be interesting tomorrow with the North v Eagles and Hawks v Saints.

Are you backing them to beat Geelong next week?

Also is Ashcroft that important to the Lions? Their midfield was trash today. GC shut down Neale and that was curtains. They’re back to being one paced again.

Buddy is a spent force. It’s actually better for us if he plays

Might be true now that he's pinged a hamstring, but his previous three games netted seven goals and four goal assists. Very handy spent force!

I was just thinking about that Saints game. I chance to secure 5th spot. It’s just the sort of game they’ll cough up.

I reckon WC may be a chance, NM could be aiming to finish below WC.

How does a game of rugby union at the MCG get 84,000? I don’t know anyone in this city that cares about it.

I didn't watch the cats dockers game, so not sure how poorly cats played. 

But i can't see the cats losing twice in a row at home, particularly because port will struggle to come up after two weeks of intense footy and have to travel.

On rhe travel, interstate teams must hate playing at kp because they have to fly into tulla and then get in a bus for what, 75 mins, down to Geelong?
