Not really sure where to post this so I guess I'll chuck it in here. So many words could be used to describe how I feel tonight, but the best one is probably 'done'. Over the Hinkley reign every single year I've managed to find some sort of excuse to our woes that if we had just tidied up we...

I'm completely beside myself today, absolutely no attention span or focus whatsover. 7:10pm hurry up!

Glad I'm not the only one who's having trouble sleeping tonight. This feels so much more real than last year, we're really in with a shot here if we can get our best going. Could set up the team for sustained success for a very long time. Time for a nervous poo.

If Weightman doesn't play send Jonas to smash that ******* Bailey Smith campaigner. Carrying on like he's peak ******* Ablett, give us a spell. The pure arrogance of this Bulldogs outfit coupled with their protection from the umpires makes we physically sick. I hope we belt the absolute s**t out...

Was thinking about this the other day. I love how the argument is now which promising young tall between Marshall and Georgiades we should pick and whether or not we should play 3 or 4 talls. A very far cry from the days of a singular tall in Schulz/Dixon and the rotating dwarf brigade of Sam...

Crashed a few packs really nicely in the first half. Should've nailed that gimmie and probably the other shot he had around 40 out on an angle when Dixon's pass didn't meet the 15. Dropped a couple of marks he should've gobbled up but clearly had more sight of it than Dixon. A week of rest will...

The crowd's reaction to SPP coming on in the last was ******* amazing. Would've done absolute wonders for that young man's confidence and I hope we can find a spot for him in 2 weeks time. It's getting real now!

Our 22 Under 22 Team*: *a few 23 and 24 year olds included B: Jones - Garner - Frederick HB: Houston (24) - Burton (24) - Bonner (24) C: Duursma - Powell-Pepper (23) - Bergman HF: Rozee - Marshall - Farrell F: Woodcock - Georgiades - Ladhams (23) FOLL: Hayes - Butters - Drew I/C...

In an ideal world the AFL Grand Final location is determined years in advance like the NFL or UCL. Doesn't have to be a formal bid for the game but set some parameters for the grounds e.g. 40,000+ capacity and whatever extras and incentivise state governments to improve existing or build new...

All three thoroughly deserve their nominations, I reckon Ollie should be a shoe in and I'd give Aliir a 50/50 chance. Amon the best out-and-out wingman of the year but you know they'll probably offload an extra on-baller to the wing as they normally do. Boak a bit stiff but I don't think he'd...

Not gonna lie, Pendlebury has looked quite past it this year and I'd imagine he'd be slowing down even more next year. That being said, he's always been one of my favourite and most respect non-Port players and his experience and leadership would be immense if we could get him a coaching role...

If he'd kicked straight would've finished with 2-3 goals and looked our best key forward on the night. Wasn't alone in the poor accuracy regard either. MG missed from bloody 15 out and Dixon did sweet FA. Ladhams' first half was delistable. Guess people will always find a way to spin it against...

Just someone flatten Cody Weightman.

The absolute scenes if we beat those four sides - who we lost to during the H&A - on our run to the premiership. Except in that scenario we forget the West Coast game, because we can't let the facts get in the way of a good stat.

When I left work we were 4 goals down. Got home 45 minutes later and we were 6 goals up. Finished 15 goals up. Great second half performance and finally a bit of ruthlessness. Getting the cavalry back and hitting our straps at the right time. We're in with a chance here.
