Chook

If I were Port I'd say to the AFL: "Actually, can we go to Perth for the Prelim? We want to play there." They shouldn't be allowed to (integrity of the competition an all), but that's what I'd do if I were them. It's all about winning the last game. Anything else is a waste of time, so practice on the ground the grand final will be played at is ideal. If you lose, well fine you probably wouldn't have won the Grand Final anyway. If you win, then you're better placed than ever to take out the Premiership.

Disgusting. Who uses the index finger? It's thumb all the way for me, unless I need to do some real exploring, then the pinky gets involved .

I think we were all more scared of their personnel than their game style. That aura has completely disappeared now.

If they play Melbourne, it will be as the away team against Melbourne having won on that ground just 8 days prior. Rolled gold to get to the granny. Not so much to win it. EDIT: Port last played on Optus in Round 3 against the Eagles. They lost.

The whole medical sub thing is an absolute crock. Fantasia basically saying "I could have played but we had a fresh guy there." It's not what the medisub is for, and the AFL shouldn't be putting players in the uncomfortable position of trying to justify why they took no further part in the game.

lol danger going on a run and hitting up Aliir as if he picked him out on a lead. Most overrated player in football. See you in a few weeks Port.

The big thing about it being better to finish 2nd or 3rd is that the 2-v-3 matchup is usually tougher than the 1-v-4. I'm expecting an almighty struggle agains the Lions tomorrow night. Winner of that is surely best placed to win the flag, given this match has had the intensity of a Gold Coast Suns match.

Fantasia has the knees and arms of a little crippled boy. Amazing that he is an AFL player. Imagine if he had a somewhat normal footballer's body.

Apparently a home prelim is on the cards for Port and Brisbane should they make it. Our carrot is 2 consecutive weeks on the GF venue. If we make it, we'd be better placed.

Not to mention the 1st effort from Henderson (an easy uncontested mark even I'd back myself to take).

Not to make your MFCSS flare up, but isn't there a part of you saying "We were 44 points down against THIS? We must be terrible!"

Apparently if you have a free kick and the ball is knocked out of your hands by a Geelong player it's "Play on" instead of 50 metres. Bizarre.

The man himself declares it once more. Mr "Days of Domination" himself!

Huge scrutiny should come on Dangerfield after his performance in the 2nd half last week and all of tonight. Absolutely putrid.

Swans vs Giants is my neutral game of the round. They will absolutely pummel into each other for the full match. Giants will win IMO.

No way we'd be playing as stodgy and lifelessly as Geelong is.

I hope so, because they sure as hell damaged mine over the past 14 years.

Danger is absolutely stinking it up. He was the difference in the 2nd against us. Either he's injured or he's past it.

Port are just not worried at all about approaching cats tacklers. They know they can just sidestep them because every cat has a bootful of treacle.

I have never seen a player drop the footy more than Blicavs, and he never gets pinged for it.

Don't you just love watching real nuffies at a footy game for a change? It's a beautiful thing.

The 5 minute patch from Geelong last week might have actually papered over some serious cracks. Take that out and they've basically not scored in 6 quarters.

You bewdy. Port going into beast mode right now. Cats need a nap.

RIP cats. R7,2007-R23,2021.

Real question: can you take advantage from a 50?
