We'll know by end of 3rd qtr if Port are serious or not.

Why would they bother tossing away the cue?

Melbourne control destiny of  4th.

Nothing Port can do. Its out of their hands.

    Real incentive for Carlton to beat GWS so they get the Bulldogs in Week 1. Reckon Carlton will rip the Doggies apart.

    Really don't need Carlton getting a soft game leading into the following final.

    Yeh I think you're right. Winning form is more important going into finals and I refuse to believe they would be considering anything other than a win.

    I am hoping the following final would be against C'Wood after they lose to the Dees in Week 1 ... (1st v 4th).

    Might be unpopular but I'd actually rather Port lose and we win. It's either Brisbane at the Gabba in a QF, and then a pathway back to what will likely be 2-3 games at the MCG. Or, potentially a Gabba Prelim. Which is way harder. Granted I am more confident of a Pies QF win than a Brisbane Gabba QF win, but Brisbane won't lose a Prelim at the Gabba.

    EDIT: Also, you'd rather face the prospect of Brisbane at the Gabba with a second chance, then Brisbane at the GABBA in an elimination game.

    Just channeling the typical DL supporters, who at this stage would be saying that if Port can’t beat the Tigers with authority they are no chance in the finals.

    *as an aside, I think Port will lose, and we will lose more betterer.

    Would much rather play the Lions in a QF than a Prelim - but if we finish 4th and beat the Pies in a Prelim we’d have a dream Prelim scenario against one of Port, Swans or Saints (presuming Port lose to Lions at the Gabba)

    Although lose against the Pies and it’s Carlton or GWS/Doggies at the G and Lions at the Gabba

    A week one win huge in that scenario

    If we win the QF we are straight into a Home Preliminary

    Yes I know that. I'm saying that, I'd rather face Brisbane in a QF, than the prospect of *losing* against Collingwood and then being on a pathway to going to the Gabba in a PF. The pathway to the is GF is easier if you win the QF, obviously. But I'm thinking of the pathway if we lose the QF. And that pathway is easier if we play Brisbane week 1.

    I’m not saying Port are trying to lose, but they are definitely not trying to win. Hinkley couldn’t have cared less that goal was not called after the siren.

    Which doesn't make sense because Melbourne will already know what to do if we really want to finish 4th.

    Correct. Maybe they are on the slide. Choking? As someone here suggests

    I haven’t contemplated losing yet. We should already be in 2nd place

    We have already been cheated

    Agree. There is no sane reason that Richmond with half their team on holiday are within one kick at 3 quarter time.

    Port are a club that are happy to put concussed players back on the ground so dropping this game is nothing. It’s a case of are we willing to sink that low.

    🤔so play the hardest QF so you don’t have to play them again if you lose in the Semi or play the easiest QF and win and don’t have to play the at home at all?

    Port with only 96 contested touches it all.

    well below their average

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
