I have no confidence in Port beating the Weags I hate to say. Probably the best possible team in the 8 to play...
If you are a top 8 team not in shocking form, then you definitely want to play Port. They are brutal to the bottom 8 and woeful against the top 8.

Port are just FTBs IMO. Highly predictable.

Is their opponent in the 8?
Yes - they lose
No - They win by 10 goals

There's something seriously wrong with the state of umpiring in this league. There was a huge difference in that game between how much the eagles had to do to infringe and how little the Crows had to do.

Haven't seen umpiring that one-sided since two hours ago at Etihad.
As soon as we got Mollison and they got Margetts, Wiliamson and Ryan I could've told you that's exactly what would happen. If you follow the form it's so predictable, that's how bad it's got. For me as well as the comp!

Yah, they're bigger pretenders than West Coast. Prove me wrong Ports, prove me wrong!

Eagles love making up the numbers. They've basically limped to the finals, beating up the lesser likes to grab 8th. Eagles as a whole have a history of doing their best to please those bandwagon supporters and fearing backlash. Maybe its good maybe its bad, imo they're gonna crash badly soon and it will be beautiful.

Atm baz and readings are saying how good their recruiting is....please! They topped up, stopped youth coming through for 8th place. Vozzo should be replaced imo.

Credit where it is due. I strongly doubt many would have predicted they'd beat Adelaide let alone by enough to secure a place in the finals, and especially with Kennedy only kicking 1 goal. Thought Jetta was bloody good in that final quarter as well. Will be interesting to see whether they reload again with more mature age fillers for next year this off season.

Their two players who tend to go missing the most in Jetta and Jack "shitmyself" Darling actually won them the game for them in the last quarter.

Here's hoping they go back to their usual selves in finals.

Crows were ripe for picking today though when they had nothing to play for.

I have made a point a little while ago aboit umpiring in this state and the little West Coast purple circle that exists amongst the field umpires that leads to this state churning out umpires like Margetts and Dalgleish.

South Australian and Victorians have told me about the strong jobs for mates mentality that also exists in umpiring departments over there.

Umpires at all levels also like to have discussions regularly where they single out certain clubs as trouble clubs and clubs they don't like and there seems to be unnecessary prejudice towards them.

Sounds like fake news.

With Melbourne missing finals despite rebuilding for the last 10 years and Hogan having the most unfortunate field issues, surely we ask the question again #cometofreohogan!
How garbage Melbourne are really isn't highlighted enough.

Yet another six months of all those peanuts in Victoria talking up what an exciting team they are, only for them to shit the bed. Again.

That Margetts, someone with demonstrable personal ties to the Eagles coaching group, is allowed anywhere near their games is appalling in a professional competition.
