As devastating as it was to lose finals in the last two years coming in as top four, at least we put up a fight. This is just deplorable from Port Adelaide.

I know Geelong and Chris Scott are equally disliked on Demonland but their ability to challenge more often than not is amazing. 

Turning into a drubbing. Port always choking in finals (at home as well)!

Port ROFLaide

Does Ken even last to the Semi's, this is an epic fail. I am truly staggered at how one sided just tuning in now.

How do you rate Petracca’s skills just out of curiosity?

Not sure how Trac came into this conversation….

Geelong have only been out of the top eight, 5 times, since 2004

How did this Port team finish 2nd. Inexcusable. 

Easy draw

Their midfield is so average. The only stars they have are JC, Stewart and an aging Danger. Their role players are still high quality but Scott is the master strategist.

Port never fail to disappoint. Come home Butters, your talent is wasted there.

It’s a very good effort and also sickening.

Their role players have a lot of skill, the ball control tonight has been top shelf 

Maybe ken's taken them as far as he can

It’s what we’ll run and coached sides do. I’m a bit shirty tonight watching Port, who finished second get smashed while our club is out of the finals and is in the news for all the wrong reasons.

Thank goodness I had to work. I didn't mind not being able to watch this game.

Danger is the most over hyped and over rated footballer in recent times. 

Fair dinkum, this is the best example of tall poppy syndrome. I don't care how much of a campaigner Danger is, he's an outstanding footballer, like having a go at the All Blacks, you can hate em, but respect for what he's done over the journey. At 34 and a 1/2, he's still above his average for disposals and had an impact on metres gained.

Scott is a great coach, but he also has two completely unique star players like:

Blicsavs. He is a freak. Plays any position and on any size player. Small or large. More times than not, he gets the job done. 
 

Gryan Miers also broke the all time record for goal assists last year. People love to hate him, but he is a master of inside 50 kicks.

I would kill to have Miers in our team.

I don’t and can’t respect Danger. I stand by my point. 
 

Ask Danger how tall he is and divide it by a good margin. 

Apparently ginnivan is at the London tavern watching the game. Sam Mitchell is aware.

After going to the races gf eve last year & winning I guess he's sticking with tradition 

The ultimate chokers the Powa, all style, no substance.

We need to find a Tall Forward with presents.

Look at the tall fella who has come on this year in forward line, Neale can take a mark and is agile.

That's all we need, both years in our straight sets exits our Forward structure has been appalling.

They retain the players they want and have constantly been a club players want to go too.

This is the most enjoyable Geelong Cats win since 2011. Hate the [censored] with a passion but them absolutely nailing Port is glorious. Haha so funny .

World Cup qualifier ... in Brisbane ... Socceroos 0 - Bahrain 1.

Appalling/clueless performance by Socceroos.

Watching a Qualifying final just blows my mind that we had 4 chances to make a prelim and blew every one of them in ‘22 and ‘23. Statistical chances of that happening would be awfully low.

It’s almost like Port must have a virus running through the team.
