Great, my missus is a registered nurse and won’t risk getting COVID and won’t go. Won’t be easy finding a mate to come with me when it will probably 3k plus at least for the whole weekend up there.

Pass or fail this year for Port?

Make the eight and lose a prelim I'd say pass however sitting on top every round and losing a prelim at home after extra weeks rest, fail.

MW-

At the start of the year, we set out to win the flag. Lofty expectation yes, but Kern laid the challenge down. To do that, you have to make finals, and indeed the Granny, finals and winning a final in the eyes of Port fans was probably the pass mark.

To finish where we did at the end of the minor round, in the manner that we did (top all year) that pass mark in my eyes shifted to a GF appearance, which we didn't meet.

If you had of offered me this sort of season at the beginning of the year, id have taken it for sure, but I left the Port Club Friday night feeling like we underachieved for season 2020.

Given we were 10th last year and the coach looked to be getting sacked while turning the playing list over it's clearly a pass. Winning a final was the bare minimum for mine this year.

Richmond were better than us Friday night, granted we were top all year and home prelim but they're going for a third flag in 4 years and we've got 7 blokes 22 or under in our side.

Fell like our turn will come.

If we'd lost to anyone other than Richmond or Geelong to make the GF I'd feel like we underachieved, said weeks ago we'd need to beat them both to win the flag and we knocked one of them over, not quite good enough to roll the other one.

The numbness I've got is because I feel like we were about where we should have been, better than most, not quite as good as a couple.
