I never realised finishing top was so hard! Almost ill with nerves.
-
Not quite the same. At least Richmond supporters could get to Adelaide last year, we can’t!
-
I don’t think a loss would be considered a choke. I have concerns that we have a few players without finals experience. I just hope like hell that they are over the euphoria of last week.
-
Hmmm, don’t know about that. Geelong just need to slow things down, grind out a couple of goals without conceding. Make Aliir accountable, which he struggles with. Port are downhill skiers.

I am 100% with you on this Kev. We have gained absolutely no advantage by finishing on top. This game, and possibly the prelim, should have been at the MCG, crowds or not. Correct me if I am wrong, the capacity on Saturday night is 15,000? I doubt whether there will be 10,000 there. You can still get tickets 6 rows from the fence as I type. And the majority of the crowd will most likely be Brisbane supporters because people from Qld can still travel there! Good on the MFC for not rocking the boat on this, but we will rue this AFL decision.

So it's official, we are off to Perth after this weekend: Melbourne and Geelong will travel to Perth after their finals in Adelaide as the AFL prepares in advance for a potential preliminary and grand final in Perth.The Demons, who will “host” Brisbane in a qualifying final in Adelaide this weekend, will go to Perth on Sunday after their game and, like Geelong, must be ready to remain there for the duration of the finals – depending on results.

We have been dealt absolutely no advantage whatsoever by finishing on top. ZILCH. I totally agree with Pert. Ok, if we win, yes we get a week off, so there is some advantage there. But if we lose, what advantage do we get by playing either the Dogs or Essendon at Tassie. Again, as a losing qualifying finalist you at least got a home final in the semi!!! NIET! However, I bet if Brisbane lose, they will want their next game at the Gabba. We have been stiffed here. Best side all year.

Andrew’s did not play, he was left out of the side with hamstring soreness. He and Mitch Robinson are reportedly back this week.

How young were you when Barass last raised the cup?

9. Wasn’t at the game, but clearly remember listening to it on the radio. -
Yes, but if we win…..
-
Why would be have to play in Adelaide. As home team we would get the choice. Go to Tassie
-
No it wouldn’t. Geelong would finish third, Port second
-
They could quite possibly get the next 3 at home!!
-
That kick for goal by Marshall just typifies Port. Choked.
-
No finals in Victoria for the first two weeks On a day Victoria recorded 55 new local cases of coronavirus,McLachlan confirmed the opening fortnight of the finals will be held outside of Victoria because of the lockdown extension and restrictions, a move which increases the chances of the grand final being held in Perth, Queensland or South Australia on September 25.
-
No chance of Geelong hosting first final at GMHBA. What, are they going to restrict the crowd to people from regional areas? How could the AFL control that? No chance
-
Would you call the MCG a home ground advantage against Geelong or Dogs? Certainly against Port
-
yes serious. But they have just announced that the bye round has been scrapped, so not going to happen. But given that they want to play finals in front of crowds (well 17 clubs anyway!), it is now extremely unlikely there will be finals in Victoria in 2 weeks. And I do think the 8 is set, it would be a brave punter to bet that Brisbane and Essendon will lose this week
-
There would be no crowd, and the players and staff would be able to get exemption with work permits
-
Should the AFL cancel round 23, and get the current top 8 to WA to commence finals weekend of 3/4 Sept?
-
Dogs need to be careful. If Brisbane win big tonight, there is a chance Dogs could end up 5th if they lose to Port
-
Absolutely, dangerous tackle, concussed. Must get at least a week
-
Absolute joke. Should have been a certain goal.
-
I think we are more than that OD, we are the ones to beat
-
My ladder predictor says if West Coast lose tomorrow, they don’t play finals, win and they do
