Winners at last

West Coast choking big time. Brisbane will take 4th spot easily.

Yep .... thinking the same ... that match was W.Coast v Adelaide. Adelaide were a much better side (finished top of ladder?), but I think they rested players for that match. I think Bulldogs will miss out on 4th in the same way that we missed out on 8th that year. Can't rely on other teams!!!

I think Brisbane are a better side than the Dogs. Despite having won fewer matches.

Just saw the scores in the WC/Brisbane match. It will be carnage.

Port have absolute A graders (A+ even) in Gray, Boak and Wines. Dragged Port over the line. Bulldogs stars Libba, Bont, Naughton et al didn't really fire. Macrae had so many possessions but wasn't really influential. Bulldogs supporters getting stuck into Beveridge ... It was stupid not playing Sweet. Port rucks had a field day (or night). And my God, do they get stuck into Smith !!! Deserved really ... great start to his career but he's really dropped off. Seems like he's really full of himself.

How ironic that a free kick for a throw is paid against the Dogs in the last minute ...

Port in front ... Dogs choking big time.

Apparently bad kicking is bad football ... 🤔

With all the fumbling and skill errors, it's hard to believe the match is being played under the roof.

Bulldogs .... Trealor, Dunkley, Libba, JJ (other than that goal) not doing much Port ... Gray, Boak, Wines (by his standards), Dixon also quiet

Does anyone else think that Robbie Gray looks like Jimmy Somerville of The Communards/Bronski Beat?

Match v Adelaide. Triplechins referring to "caressing" the ball through ... Said it a number of times. Also referred to the ball going "straight through the middle" a couple of times when the ball missed the goal post by a bee's ###.

Is everyone overlooking the fact that the GF has always (until last year) been played at the MCG, despite interstate teams sometimes being the higher ranked team?

One of Austria's finest !!

I understand that Wallace wasn't liked by his teammates.

The players seem very comfortable playing interstate this year. Thankfully no matches in Cairns though ...

b & b. Like some others I was at both GFs (1988 & 2000)... they were excruciating. Better not to have made the GFs those years.

I'm not sure that BT actually thinks.

He looks like being a better player than his dad !! I suspect in years to come people will refer to Brett Bowey as Jake Bowey's father !!

Me too !!

I think the bye will be the week after the Preliminary Finals. Among other things, it would allow any concussed players to play. Imagine Oliver or Petracca getting a head knock in the Prelim and not being able to play in the GF!

He's the Demons' version of Gunston. (Jack, not Norman.)

3 genuine sh#t blokes. Shame it didn't include Scott.

(Re Triplechins) ... and he lives in Toorak ... ... and he sent his boys to Melbourne Grammar ...

Tom turns the ball over way more than JJ
