Only can see this game going one way Kangaroos easily

If the roos dont get up by at least 10 goals then christ I have no idea how they'd go in the finals. Really North are going well, looking to ramp up for the finals and the Power are 1 game away from getting pissed.

In all seriousness I cant see port getting close, Plus add in a few more injuries to the guys that are playing well for port eg Cassisi. I just can see port really troubling them.

Port to win for the Crows.

I HOPE THE POWER WIN.
but the roos will win by as much as port beat them by in the Prelim last year

Can't help but not be impressed by the quality of the North line-up, right across the field...
Port have some good players, in fact some great players, but not enough across the field.
Kangas by a long way.

Has Damon White played at CHB at all this season?

He played there against Collingwood the other week and got given a bath by Cloke.

Haha, so good to see him beck there this week, just to destroy any smidge on confidence he may have had.

Thanks guys for the surprise present for the Crows!
Thurstans and White apparently did a fair job by the look of the statistics.
P Burgoyne should be kept on an annual performance based contract - the uncertainty about his future obviously helps...

Played some decent footy, where has that been all year, would have beaten all but one side in the comp playing that footy that they played today

How bloody frustrating was that to watch today?

Port have been rubbish all year when it came to applying pressure to the opposition ball carrier,something the Roos pride themselves on and something I expected to be smashed at today,we were fantastic.

Instead,Port killed the 'Shinboners' around the stoppages and smashed them at contested balls.

I only said this morning,if the Cats dont win the flag the Hawks will,and if the Hawks dont the Kangaroos will......how wrong I was...

Well done Port...

One poor game is much easier to handle than a whole season

the worst thing about the power winning is now the bloody crow grab 4th. and where has this style of game been all year!!!!!!!

No wonder the AFL tried to get the Gold Coast Kangaroos in place.

Playing for fourth spot and a double chance aswell as a club stalwarts 300th game and only 22,000 show up,how bitterly dissapointing.Perhaps the fans were like the players and figured they didn't need to show up.

Roos players can start organising next weeks mad Monday if they put in another performance like that against Sydney.

Sure right Dutchy,one bad game is easier to take than a bad season,but if you blokes are bound for Bali next Monday then this season and the last 2 weeks go down as a joke I can laugh at for years.......fourth spot was yours......WAS

It will be Great fun watching the Crows getting Painfully disected next next week feather by feather although it wont be a Nuclear explosion like last years GF unfortunately.

Thats true but I guess it shows what the teams feelings are towards Grant. 300th game and go down by 76 points. Even the saints rallied for Harvey.
