[The King!]

Got a feeling they are underrated this year

Imo they will go deep this time

Yeah I'm just guessing, Been better than Geelong , but just a gut feeling the cats will fluke their way through

 

[The King!]

If Port win the next few weeks will be about the lack of MCG prelim

 

[The King!]

Curnrow missing finals again , like last year when he didn't show up .

 

[The King!]

Port will shit the bed

 

[The Mares Leg]

Well, you are old…..

 

[Big Blood]

Port choking it up in a final. Who saw that coming?

every team, at some point over an extended period, seems to face a "salary cap squeeze", or are the subject of stories suggesting "they can't afford to keep all their stars", sydney is one team that seems to cop it every few years ... not geelong ... never geelong ... and yet they're always one of the first "destination" teams mentioned when stars are leaving those other clubs ... i have no facts, figures or evidence ... but geez ... i friggin hate geelong

Because of their rigid salary structure I guess.

Geelong only had 4 more inside 50s. I think Port really missed Houston and Farrel. Both good defenders who use the ball well and provide so much rebound. They were all at sea when the ball went inside 50 and the small forwards took full advantage, Stengle and Mannagh, 4 & 3 goals.
I’m not saying that having them there would have changed the result because they were outplayed all across the park.
However it’s reminds me of how average we were when we had a few defenders (Melican and Rampe) down 5 or 6 weeks ago. our defence can stay fit - it’s crucial.

Think Hawks winning would be better and then go lose to Port.

But I would tip the Dogs to murder them
to be honest

Nah I think Port beat Dogs but lose to Hawks.

Bulldogs form over the last 3 weeks hasn't been as hot as people would like to believe.

Lost comfortably to Adelaide, beat the wooden spooners but did get over the Giants.

Hawks in a similar spot, beat last and second last and took over an injury hammered Carlton

Bulldogs on their best can take anyone but they're even more susceptible than us to just not turn up

Dogs are also terrible in Adelaide for whatever reason.

Port will win next week. Bookmark it.

Semi Finals are the same every year - Everyone talks up the winner of the elimination final and dismisses the loser of the qualifying final only for them to win 90% of the time

I suppose difference this year is a team like the Lions are basically a top 4 team in all but name so if they were to win they're not as much of an outsider as some 5-8 teams are.

True, though Port went out in straight sets last year and have struggled in finals against anyone that isn't Geelong (and they can't even claim that any more).

Yeah this could end up being the year where the hype is justified.

promoting the event he's going to be at for his drinks company... on the day of the grand final... which his current team might be in.

Clearly he is out the door, but if I were the Bulldogs I'd hold him to his obligation to be both at the game and the post-GF event the club will host (if they make it.)

 

[RUNVS]

Can't believe I am saying this but I am very much cheering on Hawthorn tonight. I hate the Bulldogs.

In before people say we should pick him up.

I'd rather pay Stringer to stay at the Bombers than pick up Smith.

Besides everyone has cottoned on he is going to Geelong

The uproar over Ginnivan drinking waters at the pub and being home at 9 is a bit of a cringe fest. Give me a spell
