Of the Vic sides left I’d prefer Hawthorn over Geelong and Collingwood.
Brissy first preference.
If Brisbane make it, they turn into Fitzroy.
 
Koch will hang his hat on it at the AGM. This won't work.

Koch will point to the Crows going out in straight sets as evidence of how tough it is. Nothing is surer.

Hes always comparing us to the weaklings, never the winners.

Brisbane can't win it without neale and a 2nd year key forward , fully healthy lions could easily but not this version
To win the flag imo Brisbane need to kick more goals than they have been and their inaccurate kicking for goal might come back to bite them if they get that far
 
Nup Brions comfortably
Agreed BF the wobblers don't have a genuine key forward and can sometimes have an over reliance on their mid size players to kick a winning score.

They defeated the tingles by using the big septic tank to bring the ball to ground in their forward 50 for Daicos x2, Sidebottom and their other smaller players to either have scoring opportunities, or keep the ball in the area for 2nd and sometimes even 3rd cracks at it.

I doubt they will be able to do that against brisvegas, who can use their 2nd tall defender to pick up Mihocek allowing Fagan the luxury of using his best defender in Andrews to block the septic tank (no pun intended), to not only shut down that option, but also take numerous intercept marks and set up play.

With blokes like Rayner, Ashcroft x2, Berry, McCluggage and Dunkley the brisevegas midfield lacks nothing in comparison to that of collingwood, so their ruckmen may only need to break even with their wobbler opponents for them to take control of the game.

It may be a year too early for the dawks, so I'm predicting a brisvegas v geebung grand final!

1 of 5 "interstate" teams left. All 3 Vic teams left
Yeah, it really goes to show how hard it is for non-Vic teams to win a flag - you could even say teams that don't play home finals at the MCG.

Brisbane makes it through due to the high quality players they've had access to, which no doubt has given Port hope with a similar pipeline about to open... until they started talking about changing the rules.

The AFL will be very happy with this outcome, of course. I'm sure there were crisis meetings when no MCG home team made it through to the GF last year.

Funny one, if Crows recruit well and address their needs in the off season they will likely get back to finals next year, but in essence this was a golden op to make a GF wasted. Piss easy draw, finish top, double chance at home, little to no injuries throughout the year.

A lot went right for them this year that isn't a guarantee next season.
They massively increase their chances by Rankine simply not saying a word.
 
On the bus after the game. Can confirm the crowd was very loud, suns goals in the first qtr were noisy but lions goals much louder.

Still hate the songs, the no idea Lions supporters and the Lions chant that they never did until after the British and Irish Lions toured in 2001.

And I hate the self applause after they sing a song to themselves.

It's like the Barmy Army. Sure they have some good songs, but half the time they're singing about themselves and after the they're fully pissed it's about all they come up with ... Barmy Army Barmy Army Barmy Army.

And don't start me on Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi

The EPL soccer crowds have some amazingly clever and funny chants.

Plus Hardwick is the coach we deserve.
We could have had Chris Scott but the club wasnt brave enuf to risk the financial cost of him bringing in assistants. We would be a highly respected club now instead of the joke we've become. Worst decision in Port Afl history.
 
We lost to these losers twice this season, the second time by a record. Very happy to see them bow out in straight sets but it doesn't change the fact that we are shit.

Yeah but we've known that for ages and have come to grips with it. Time to indulge in some schadenfreude with the tossers who have been planning their grand final viewing preference for the past two months and shoving our noses in it.
 
Matt Rowell is built like a mini-Hulk. And yet we tackled him to ground time and again in the last minor round game.

We cared that game & double teamed him

Yes to the first one and partly to the second but he was brought down several times by individual tacklers including Butters and Rozee who played out of their skins that day.

And plenty of teams double-team Rowell, it's not like his importance is unknown. And he still gets away from them.
 
A couple cracking prelims I reckon.

I think Geelong will win but hawks will push them.

Pies v lions genuine coin flip.

Writing off a team that’s lived in the top 4 since 2019 was pretty foolish. They’ll give the pies a massive challenge.
So uninterested in these last 2 finals. I dont want anyone to win. Congrats Afl. You've created a sh*t competition.
