    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.

    first prelim final day, how are you feeling @Kiwiwomble ?

    It's weird. Sydney are heavy favourites with the bookies, but i see a lot of chat that the expectation is Port win. Part of it is obviously this streak that Port have over Sydney, but also i think people tend to have short memories, and they remember Port winning last week, so they overrate that win. Throw in Sydney stealing their first final win...

    I still think Sydney win, but i am a little concerned that their main scoring threats are in their midfield.

    I have hated the Power since 2004 so i hope Sydney do them

    all things being equal we should win, we've been top of the table most of the year....but they did put over a 100 on us not long ago (think i heard we're the only team for more than 50 years yo lose by more than 100 and finish top of the table or something)......and based on pretty mush every other game this year....fuck knows and anything could happen

    literally the only constant this year seem to be we finish strong

    i think turning up in the first quarter for a change would be a pretty decent idea

    @mariner4life boring...we got were we are giving teams at least 30-40 first half leads, stick to the formula 😉

    In Sydney CBD this evening while my wife attends a function (paid for a hotel room, might as well use it) and there are a shitload of people in Swans gear.

    My brother is a Swans member and couldn't get a ticket. The G is going to be heaving

    Started tight. Ended up 6 kicks clear for the home side.

    Would be ace if my brother could get 2 tickets to the MCG next weekend. Bucket list item.

    There we go, true to form nothing is can be banked on this season, they score first but we bounce straight back with 3 straight and never looks back, second quarter was clinical, we were 9-1 in the second, up the bloods

    Worthy of the final!

    Good luck @mariner4life

    I’m actually asking around for tickets to the final, have some mates who are mcc members so think they can go in to a draw?

    The crowd noise in that final quarter was amazing, couldn’t hear the commentators

    Brother was at the G for that. Cracking game. Brisbane Lions demonstrating the opposite of what the All Blacks can do; take control in the second half and maintain composure to score when necessary.
