Bennell & Martin with 6 between them in the first half, normally the possibility of a letdown game against a bottom side would worry me after a big win but i'm confident we've got ideal matchups for those 2 dangerous players in Impey & Krakouer.

NUFC, YES.
I just saw that J Pod kicked a lazy 9.1 for the Tingles reserves. I wonder if he'll ever get a last chance at AFL level.
Pods dining out in second-tier has been his bread'n'butter for 15 years.

"Collingwood's captain Scott Pendlebury has said today was the first time he has played an AFL game that didn't mean anything."

The 2 games highlight the difference between Port Adelaide & Collingwood, you wouldn't hear Boak say that.
Port Adelaide - playing for pride, team morale and unity, to try and keep a supporter base and marquee games

Collingwood - play for the paycheck, tank for draft position, get handed prime time draw, supporters sign on like sheep


GWS - tank for draft position and draw, don't have to worry about supporters, AFL blank cheque support

IT’S been almost five years since former Crows recruiting manager Matt Rendell made more than a few people spit out their Weet-Bix when he claimed Gold Coast and GWS would win 10 straight premierships from 2015.

We have more to lose by tanking than losing.

Positive momentum for next year will carry positivity to
corporate sponsors to continue the faith,
the pyschy of the players,
plus a bit of optimism in the media

Getting a pick 2 spots further down isn't worth it. These boys just need to keep winning

Collingwood are ******* awful.

Also Daniel Bass has more hit outs than Lobbe at halftime in the Snaffle
Bass was their sole ruckman while port ran lobbe redden and frampton at times in the ruck, the stats were a touch misleading. Lobbe had a far greater influence on the match, except when bass fell over in the ruck....

Average age this year - Essendon & Carlton looking at years in the bottom 8 as they will have to cut 10 players this year.

1. Fremantle 25.40
2. North Melb. 25.35
3. Essendon 24.96
4. Hawthorn 24.84
5. Sydney Swans 24.64
6. Geelong Cats 24.60
7. Carlton 24.45
8. Adelaide 24.21
9. Richmond 24.19
10. Melbourne 23.95
11. West Coast 23.91
12. Port Adelaide 23.61
13. Collingwood 23.61
14. St Kilda 23.42
15. Brisbane 23.36
16. West Bulldogs 23.21
17. Gold Coast 22.90

This puts things into perspective to be quite honest. Also, holy shit the Bulldogs are scarily young/good.

My mate informs me that Port have come back onto the Sportsbet web site as having odds offered for the FLAG.
Fanciful I know, but there are money men out there thinking about it.

If North lose their last 3 v freo, wb and Richmond, and we win and pick up 9%, we will finish ahead of them...

Won't happen, I know....
