Port playing dead boring defensive footy in the 2nd 1/4 have already turned my TV off. Reckon in 8 mins they have had about 50 short kicks

Port up by 32 pts at half time, not a good quarter with the breeze by the Roos as I think they got oustcored by 3 goals despite having a 4 goal breeze!

Are you blind or just a bit simple?

Port forced into that style by the Kangas negative tactics and flooding back.

You need to edit your post and replace 'Port' with 'Kangaroos'

He could always tell them to play like Geelong, it wins footy and its great to watch.

PS Don't be rude to Locky he hasn't been nasty to you.

The same can be said for Port. I'm enjoying watching! As are about 50,000 at AAMI stadium!

I think they just said on the radio ther was over 47,000.
That's a great crowd especially considering the usual crowds Port get and the fact finals aren't included in season passes especially when I think I heard the cheapest Prelim final tickets were $90.
Great effort by the Turquoise army.

It's super boring because the Roos are uncompetitive.

Cats had the hard workout last night, will be far better prepared for it and are simply a better side.

Cats by about 5 goals in the GF.

Fantastic crowd. They've been rewarded with a great performance by the Powwaaaa!

Kangas now playing shocking chip and short kick footy. Sure you didn't mean the Kangas in your original post locky?

who's preperation would you prefer going in to a GF

the Cats Tough tight contest, or Port's training run

my view, leading in to a GF you would want a tough match

And so it begins.........keep writing off the Powwwaaa. I'm loving it. We're in a GF, and I'm confident we can get up. Should be a cracker of a game.

Whilst I doubt the Kangaroos will come back, are you counting chickens prior to any eggs cracking open?

I'm counting prelim chickens. They're already laying eggs.

As for GF - 50/50 IMO.

I hope Port get thumped next week

Tredders bow to the crows is ordinary, and poor leadership to the younger players, than Chad carries on like an idiot when he kicks a goal

can't wait to see them in tears next week - GO Cats

I hope so, for your sake mate.

And for moderators - it'll be like a full moon tonight if Kangaroos come back from here.

If the Kangas outscore Port by 14 goals in the last quarter they deserve to be in the GF.

Yeah that was ordinary by Ports leaders - poor example.

The last comment is a little presumptuous, but play on!
