Sums it up....is attitude or fitness??

Yes we are good side but the reality is we keep given up 20+ point leads and have lost 4 games in the same fashion We will be going in as underdogs against all the remaining games against top 8 teams & will be lucky to win 1-2 of them based on current form.

Something is off.....they can't hold onto leads and have lost 4 games, even against the crows they took foot off the pedal and also against bottom teams. Fitness or Attitude?

Our form isn't great and have lost 4 games when leading by 20+ points, is it Fitness or Attitude?? Will be very surprised if we make top 4 now and possibly lose our next 4 games to top 8 teams

Their method is an issue and continued bombing to nobody, need to lower their eyes and play lower kicks into the fwd line, the opposition try this to counter intercept marking by May & Lever!

Have been run over by teams last 3 weeks after leading by 20+ points in all 3 games is this fitness or mindset?? We are thin on tall defenders and have lost a defender each game & today lost Turner & Petty off the ground for 20min & Gawn on & off twice with a bad ankle yet we have smalls for subs??? Our pressure acts currently ranked 17th to 1st in 2021 surely this is mindset?? M Brown over Weids who is our future???

Nothing against M Brown but if Weids can't get a game whats that saying about Weids??? Gotta rely on B Brown and Fritch to kick a few each and supported by the smalls inc Trac

Didn't take long for the Demons of old to be back in the news for the wrong reasons, when you include the text messages BS of ex & current presidents! The Momentum video of breaking the drought when Gawn is talking about how they changed they way the players spoke to each other professionally and making a commitment to each other,which helped change the culture is a slap in the face from May! Going on past history most supporters will be fearing how the season will unfold. Not sure why Goody hasn't addressed this with the media and is waiting until Friday presser, so its dragged on for the whole week.

Unbelievable and suggest his tummy is full after winning a flag, they say handling success is more difficult than handling no success! Concern is will the supporters get back to seeing the Demons of old again??

Expect 6-8 weeks

Dunstant you have come to a club were you can just be yourself and do it your way......

Has Barassi been interviewed since the premiership win, would be great to see his reaction.

Amazing, unbelievable, Tears of joy to finally watch the Demos win a Flag!!! The joy of watching a Flag with my 23yo son who cried his eyes out and not have him say why did you make follow the MFC & not wait for 50years like his dad! The planets lined up 57 year drought, Im 57, Norm Smith died at 57, we kicked 57 points in the last qtr! The score after Brayshaw goal in the 3rd qtr was 9 10 64...thats spooky The ghosts of 87,88 & 2000 buried!

Burgess & fitness staff will have a plan in place to ensure hardness is there, we are having a tough hit out & dogs are not as need to recover so can work both ways....

No changes team is settled just name a defender e.g. Hunt or Smith as medical sub to cover for May if he goes down.

So dogs come from 5th to get a weeks rest before GF, so whats the advantage for finishing 1st & winning both finals?

Hibbo experienced, cool head, tough competitor Hunt if fit has great speed & can break the lines Bowie just concerned in a big final with only a few games under his belt may get exposed Smith is too lose got exposed against Cameron

Cats played well but beat an injured GWS plus coming of a tough game vs the Swans, lets not forget they made finals with 11.5 wins which was 4.5 games less than the Cats. Still think Hibbo strong body & cool head & if Hunt is fit for speed.

Need to play Hibbered, Smith is too lose

So there will be a bye after the prelim finals? why????? So if one of the semi final winners wins a prelim they get a week off... Were is the reward for the qualifying final winners???

Prelim final requires wise head & experience..... hibbo big body and experience, Hunt if fit for speed and both have played well.... Unfortunately Bowey still raw & Smith

Possibly the biggest flaw by the afl since making Lions play in a prelim in 04 at the MCG which they should have played at the Gabba....We finish first and are made to travel under strict quarantine rules etc and will need to travel again even if we win our first final.... The fair thing would have been to have Port travel to play on neutral grounds! Were is the benefit of finishing 1st???? But I forgot its the AFL.....

Great result for the club but also for the development & culture implemented when you consider the train wreck Roos inherited back in 2014, lets hope the players are still hungry chasing the ultimate success !

Very different though as the GF is locked in at the MCG contractually and clubs know what the roadmap is etc vs Covid mess, bottom line is if your good enough you will beat anyone anywhere, but still Port have got a better deal coming 2nd!

My question is to the AFL & understand cover/quarantine etc but why does Port get to play in front of a home crowd/home ground and the Demons minor premiers have to travel, Were is the advantage finishing 1st??? Was there an option of having a bye to move all the finals to Perth and fit in with their quarantine, they also have Subiaco oval??? 7 other teams are plying on Neutral Grounds, how is this fair???
