Incidentally, there are maybe 50 GWS supporters behind their goal. Virtually nonexistent cheer squad over there. If supporters count for anything we should get over the line.

Umps gave them a couple of free shots to end the half. Fortunately justice prevailed and they missed. A little worried we'll have a one man bench in the second half.

Words to live by.

Port are pretty bad. You'd have to be a shocking side to drop a game to them. ? But seriously, with the amount of talent they have on the park, there's no way they should be this bad. They have absolutely no confidence and their defensive zone is being torn apart by the bombers' pace. Interesting to see how well Francisis playing given nobody wanted to touch him this time last year. Also interesting to see Watts. He's gone backwards this year. Zero contested work, not even close to winning his own ball. He has however been good when others get the ball to him.

That's not a bad side at all. I agree Dangermouse and Rance are in on reputation rather than performance, but Martin is predicted to be leading the brownlow right now, so you could say he's having a decent season. Oliver on the bench isn't the end of the world, and with Cripps, Mitchell and Martin as extractors in the starting side you can see why he'd be left out.

I'm still hoping to see two meter Peter in red and blue. He's got the skill-set, he's got the size , he's friends with Lever and he's a dirty bastard.

If this happens I will laugh myself silly, but also be somewhat annoyed because the difficulty of getting tickets to the first final will increase dramatically and we'll be sharing the MCG with 70000 Richmond fans.

I don't believe he'll leave the dogs, but if ye did I'd be happy to have him.

Pretty sure I can change the format when I get home.

Does this help? Win.avi I guess this thing doesn't play .avi's huh?

Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but if Collingwood and Sydney both go down next week and we win, we'll take fourth spot.

I can't see Petracca or ANB making the cut. Harmes could be a smokey. Brayshaw and Oliver are both very good chances. Fritsch, who knows?

Worse. We did everything we could possibly think of to hand them the game and still only lost by nine points. The entire team were diabolical and they still almost fluked the win. They actually WORKED at losing. The put effort into it.

They should be ashamed of that effort. Back to the blind turnover kick into the forward line. Even with the poor conversion rate, we would have wkn if our mids had just tried to hit targets instead of lobbing directionless bombs to their waiting defence.

Hogan is playing injured. He needs a week or two off, but we can't afford to drop him this close to finals. I'd say drop him this week since we're no chance of winning but he would probably like to go to Perth.

He's having a bit more than a rest by all reports. Many thanks for the rundown. We really need to win this one I think.

The worst look in the game is the AFL Commission. They are a disgrace.

I'm amazed he hasn't had a call-up already. I thought he was the perfect choice to replace Lever. Similar size and game. He takes a great contested mark, he's strong and tough. The only knock I see is he doesn't look that quick.

Coniglio is a free agent and would be a big upgrade on Tyson. I could see him being a good fit for Goodwin's style. Jack Martin is contracted until the end of next year, but I'd love us to make a play for him. He'd be a great fit swinging between wing and HF. Has pace, marks well above his head and can win contested ball when he needs to. I also wouldn't mind us sounding out Daniel Rich. He's a good solid player with an exceptional boot and we are desperate for good footskills.

Smith needs to go. Other than that I'm happy enough with the lineup.

Petracca and his long bomb just cost us the game. Why the hell didn't he chip to an uncontested mark??

HOW THE HELL DO YOU GIVE UP THAT MARK YOU GOD DAMN MORONS?

Why the hell would you go the bomb? Just hold the damn ball!

Cats player slid in studs first and collected one of our mids there. No call from the umps.

Hawkins is killing us.
