Our method stands up. we know that. We're building form and some key men to return. It's coming together nicely. Fingers crossed with injuries, and we'll be very hard to beat in finals.

Your comment is based on the premise we won't respect them. We have the bit between our teeth now. The momentum is all with us. Players are playing for spots in a finals team. I've no doubt we will respect North today, play well and beat them well.

North are putrid. 17 game losing streak remember. We're going to belt them. Dees by 60+

slim chance. I think the Hawks coughing up the win against the Tiges 2 weeks ago put paid to pick 3 for us.

All the talk early in the season about the Hawks tanking was rubbish. It'll be no gimme when we play them in 2 weeks. I expect a tough game.

Hawks always have a dip. Their problem has been running out of gas late in games. Hopefully they can see this through today.

I'll laugh if the bombers lose this. If Eagles pick up the win they'll go ahead of North. Changes the No. 1 pick trading conversation somewhat if that happens.

not sure why i decided to watch this game. my eyes are starting to bleed.

Even taking 5-day break into account the Tiges looked shot. I don't want them to implode completely from here though. One more win should see them finish above Freo. And their bad record at Marvel is self-fulfilling. Big mistake by Hardwick saying they didn't want to play there.

get the cheese and the bread for the ham

A training run and percentage boost for the doggies.

this is going to be ugly for the tiges

A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. No way jvr is part of the conversation for the no 1 pick. I don’t care how good this Reid kid.

Maxy gets belted. poked and scratched every game he plays. If that's the criteria for resting him he'd only play every second game.

North will fold this weekend. Nice percentage boost coming up

I’m hoping the giants beat the swans. Don’t want the swans to have something to play for when we play them in the last round.

but he still went ahead and commented anyway. the point is the hypocrisy. We all know what Cornes would have said if it was any other club in the AFL rather than Port.

David King on Sen just hauled Cornes over the coals for his comments around this incident. Said if it was any other club Cornes would have come down on them like a tonne of bricks (100% true imo). Went hard at him. Well played Kingy. Turns out the club doctor is a close friend of Cornes. All he had to do was state this upfront and decline to comment on the matter. Nothing wrong with standing by a mate. Nobody expects an objective comment if talking about personal friends so best not to comment at all.

My preference is to win the flag. I would like to beat the pies in the granny to win it, preferably by 100 points. Crushing Port in a QF at the G would be very satisfying also. Not fussed who we knock over in the prelim but have a sneaky feeling it could be the Giants.

This would never happen at our club. Goody wouldn’t allow it.

I don't know which is worse. Float the rules as this doctor obviously has (and the club). there's a pattern here. Or claim it was a mistake and prove he is grossly incompetent. Either way, he should probably lose his job.

I reckon we’ll run over the top of Carlton and win by 5-6 goals. Sydney at the SCG is the danger game. And I think buddy not playing is a help to the swans rather than a hindrance.

Kane Cornes is hopelessly biased. Anything he says about Port should be ignored. Most other pundits try to be balanced about their former club but not Cornes. I don’t mind him in general but he’s just a mouthpiece when it comes to Port.

I've watched a few GC games this year. He's developing nicely. Was all at sea first couple of games but reads the play much better now. can mark the ball. The Dees connection is there so we should keep him on the radar.

My preference is to finish second and play home finals at the G. And i think we will.
