I think the explanation is simpler. In their early games, they are manic in their chasing and tackling. When they have worn themselves out later in the season, and all that disappears, then they have little left to trouble the other sides, with the inevitable result.

Port will be exposed again.
Father time and injuries has caught up with the Eagles.
Mind you I thought the same about he Cats. Playing at that shithole gives them a clear advantage to still potentially make the 8. Going deep is another issue.
Jury is still out for GWS, Toby missing at least 6 games is massive to their chances in 2022. He has the capacity to clock a player or umpire in his return game.

Look I dont disagree with you and give credence to your argument here, but the Dogs literally tore them apart. The game was dead after just 10 mins. Port really never stood a chance in that game on reflection.
I do agree with what you said about the favorable variables in their favour. Im sure there were a few others as well that I cannot recall of the top of my head.
For me though Port's failed attempt of winning a flag in 2020 or 2021 is best encapsulated by one moment deep in the first half, where a mark and goal and Port would have gone into HT with the lead and momentum heading into the third. I genuinely believe it would have carried them over the line and into a Grand Final, they would have had the Cats in their cross-hairs too having beaten in the finals series just a few weeks earlier.

Agreed the game was over in 10 minutes but that was because the Powah players where that full of bathwater they could hardly move.
All week it was "we're rested, full strength, home game, Bullflogs injured, travelled around OZ twice in the last month, we're off to the GF at a neutral venue".
Kochie already had his tickets booked for Perth, it was one of the biggest "they got ahead of themselves" games in history.

Correct. This isnt some old imaginary Port fairytale story, this actually did happen.
The campaigner was talking about this on Sunrise.
Booking tickets is fine, telling the country that you did, is what he set his Club up for, ie Power failure.
I liked all the Port fans the week after the loss ringing radio stations bragging they will go on holiday instead.

Most people thought port would win no?
The best thing is, each time they lose because they get ahead of themselves, they find another excuse and someone else to blame, then forget what caused it and repeat the same mistake again.
It's great.

Port will make finals but they blew their opportunity with their list in 2020. The Eagles will go close to the bottom 4, their list started to look cooked in the second half of the last year and Simpson looks to be going through the motions. Geelong will also play finals but, like Port, their current list has missed the premiership ship. GWS will finish top 6, maybe scrape into 4th, but a better coach will have them closer to a flag.

Sanders may find this funny, those that purchased tickets for the now cancelled Faith No More concert are still waiting for refunds.
I saw Faith no more just as they were exploding, I think it was 1990 at LeRox in light square. They were doing huge stadium tours in the US off the back of epic, but had a contract to play a few dive venues in Oz which they kept. Mike Patten opened the show hanging from the scaffolding off the ceiling by one arm, singing New Kids on the block: the right stuff
There is nothing epic however about about a dog who doesn’t pay his bets.

Different world.
Imagine hearing now "lets go down to the car yard to interview last years best and fairest winner. We have to go during the lunch break though as he is required to give his full 8 hours at his job".
Resigned after 1 year on the board.
Dogs would pay their bets. Cats would probably try and manipulate their way out of it though.
