    i get that the All Australian team is bullshit, and they just pack it with as many midfielders as they can

    But Harris Andrews not making it is a fucking travesty. The best defender in the comp having a huge year doesn't get in? bullshit.

    These are names of actual people? Sound like a couple of Law firms.

    Off to GOM ...

    Andrews is unlucky for sure. How West Coast got two players in is beyond me. Take out McGovern for Andrews and take out Waterman for Curnow. I know who key forwards/backs would prefer to play on out of those four.

    From the time I posted the above it was one way traffic and Geelong smashed them.
    The Cats were too clean and too fast. Very impressive.

    Port fans back to calling for their coach t9 get sscked I guess.

    Under sheedy all those years ago they were such a powerhouse, and annoying if you didn’t support them ,

    On the tigers I’m happy they have gone for the total rebuild and given up on trying to patch things , bottom out now and get what they can from the draft before tassie come in . The pain is bearable after our period of success .

    And so finals are under way

    Geelong might have killed Ken Hinkley
    A reminder that after 7 rounds Hawthorn were 1-6. Who would bet against them now making a prelim? And would you want to play them?
    Sydney v GWS was an absolute classic. For three quarters it looked like another upset, but this Isaac Heeney guy is quite good at football.
    And then lol at Carlton. The Lions got themselves to 10-goals to nil in front and then sat on their lead for 2 and a half quarters. The very definition of a flattering margin in the end.

    So we are off to GWS this week, while Hawthorn travel to Adelaide.

    what a fucking result for the bloods, went down to the pub and watched with some mate who were really bothered but had them all cheering with 3min to go

    i have no idea if that was our final and we left it all out there....of that will galvanise us...and we'll win the next 2 games by +60

    Heeny with an absolute hanger (and just on the wing...not in the square to give a goal or anything)....and then kicking one from 65m

    Geelong looked to be the standout team of the finals so far after putting Port to the sword as they did and now almost a lock in for one of the GF spots. However knowing how there has been so many ups and downs this year could be a couple of more surprises in store.

    I love an outsider so will be jumping on the Hawks bandwagon this weekend

    Joe Daniher winning the game with clutch set shots is not a sentence I ever expected to type

    I'm sure their 50 fans that bothered to show up to a home playoff game are gutted.....

    Great weekend of footy. Port holding on for a win and Ken Hinkley taking out all his frustration on Ginnivan was hilarious. Port actually have a ridiculously good record against Sydney so they are a huge chance to play the GF.

    Lions off to Geelong. Last time we played them in a prelim they absolutely torched us. Saturday was our first 4th quarter performance in months, and it may have papered over the cracks. Are we a chance? yes we can score lots of points. But this feels like our ceiling this year. Look out next year when we have two Ashcrofts.
