Never had a problem with them ,only been to Western Oval once, roughest heads I've ever seen in a crowd.

Max will be the difference against soft as butter English and out of shape Martin.

Gawn to dominate full stop. Just watching Max again just seems rejuvenated, running goals marking everything but the thing that got me was the closing speed on the Rohan tackle. he's just motoring. Won't be able to counter him.

No good wrist slashing about who our opponent is, Premierships are not meant to be easy, sure it will be a hard game, just go out and get it done.

They will by the time the game comes around

Lets face it, both losers in the preliminary finals were rubbish so what do you take out of the results? We certainly won't be complacent. We have 2 weeks to assess their strengths and weaknesses. We are very good at taking away opposition strengths, bring the tackling intensity and set up the defence and we can strangle them like we did the first time. They like speed on the ball so have to be able to slow the game tempo when needed. We can definitely win this but need to play a solid 4 quarters

And shafted by the umpires

Pot's intensity in a knock out final has been a disgrace, so reactive not involved in the contest at all

He struggles to string games even quarters together

Yes and Port aren't applying any

Port wetting the bed here

Port really snuck into second with a soft draw didn't they

First 20 minutes Port second to the ball, absolutely no tackling pressure really poor by them. Note Dogs need speed on the ball, need to slow the game down when required.

Ball bounced at right angles twice for Dogs players then

Where's the pressure Port ?

Where was Hannans man

Don't think Bont will be 100%

No expert by any means but that was my take, it wasn't a running injury as is normal with hamstrings but the way he landed, fingers crossed

In all honesty his ground ball skills are very good for someone his size

They said it was a back related problem causing his hamstring to tighten up and if you watched him when he came off they were working on his glute area not the hamstring

Good to see Spargs get a couple of mentions

My son was working so had to message him the scores. Early in the third it was we've just kicked the first 4 goals in 4 minutes, then sorry 5, sorry 6, sorry 7. had to stop there because I was missing bits of the game. He went home to start watching the replay at 11.

Packets ?

You mean the one he kicked from outside 50

Said after Cats final last week, the game was terrible GWS were terrible, Cats were just less terrible. Hoped if they carried that form forward this might happen but you can never be that sure.
