    You make good points 😁. Port or Brisbane winning would be somewhere in the middle.

    Yeah I don’t have to deal with Port supporters at all and all the Brisbane supporters I know are just very good people so I don’t care if either wins to be honest. 
     

    Coll/Carl/ESS/Hawks are just no go zones for me.   
     

    if any of those teams are in a granny then it means I automatically support the opposition. Don’t even need to think about it.

    At least we can defend to keep the score low enough to win on behinds. Port can’t.

    This is the tale of finals every year!
     

    It’s the reason why the phrase ‘questions about X game’ exists as teams weaknesses are exposed in finals. 
     

    Port will 100% lose to GWS next week. I can almost guarantee it. I don’t know what it is about them but they just aren’t built for finals and [censored] the bed.

    Correct me if I'm wrong - there have been zero lead changes so far this finals series right (after the first quarter)?

    Speaking of triggering, what the hell is this banner effort from Port?

    @WalkingCivilWar you would never sign off on this!

    Atrocious! Rookie error right there: when it’s on the floor and you’re looking at it close up the gap between the words and the coloured band seems sufficient. Not so much when viewed from afar. Plus, if you’re gonna use plastic for your backing, use the thick, better quality stuff so as it doesn’t look like an elephant’s backside.

    Also, it’s finals… splurge on some graphics ffs. There’s no room in finals for such tight-arseness

    Apart from Hipwood in the 1st quarter, the Lions are looking mediocre so far. Very little zip, with the occasional freak play for a lucky goal. Port looking very sharp and starting to kick straight.

    I’m just offended by the pathetic wording. 
    Sounds like they went to chat GPT and typed in “write me a banner for the Port vs Brisbane game”

    Port supporters are not exactly an intelligent breed Jaded, the busiest Centrelink is also in Port Adelaide.

    Their handballs too.

    The flag race really is right open. I reckon if you're GWS or even Carlton you definitely feel like you can steal a flag ala Bulldogs in 2016. 

    A Port win would suddenly open it right up again.

    I'd argue they're 2 steps closer to the last game of the year if they win too, so it's also factually inaccurate as well as being an affront to crepe paper enthusiasts everywhere.

    Honestly I love Demonland, with its literary and graphic design critique of opposition banners.

    Marshall would normally kick those two OOB and 1 behind. Port should be in front

    remarkable choke from Marshall

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
