Finals

[stevoswan]

Actually the Swans' treatment in the GF was raised on SEN earlier in the week and has had some coverage over the course of the year in the Melbourne media.

Somebody, I think Mike Sheahan, said something like: "The Swans' treatment by the umpires in big games needs to be looked at."

Then shortly after Sheahan definitely said: "The Swans were murdered by the umpires in last years Grand Final."

Tim Watson replied: "Well if Longmire had cause to call the Umpires boss after the Grand Final, he must have the bloke on speed dial after Friday night in Adelaide."

There's been a lot of Melbourne media bashing on this site this week. Some justified, but you can't tar them all with the same brush.

Fair enough.....I don't pick up SEN where I am.

Anyone done the sums to work out how much port needs to beat the suns by to jump us?

Need the suns to get some points on the board..

Suns did not score in the second quarter and are 13 pts in total at half time......not looking good for 5th at this point. Gooooo Saints tomorrow!

Don't see what's personal or offensive here barry.

60+ points and they are doing it easy

They did not score in the third quarter either. Witches hats would put up more resistance. The Suns are on track to record their lowest score, and the lowest score by any side since Fremantle scored 13 points in 2009.

Suns doing us NO favours at all.....they're already on their end of season trip. No score in the third quarter as well......here you are Port, have all the percentage you need.

[Thunder Shaker]

The Suns have scored! Yay! TWICE! They're now into the 20s!

They are a circus. Would have to be favourites for the spoon next year

[Thunder Shaker]

Gold Coast flogged Hawthorn, beat Carlton, then somehow beat Geelong, beat West Coast and then beat Hawthorn again, and beat North Melbourne. Then they found the stairs leading to the cellar and have spent the last two months descending them. Yes, they will probably get the spoon next year. How can they be so awful?

From the match feed of the eclipse: "The poor ball transition from defensive 50 to forward 50 for the Suns continue. They were the worst performed side in the past month heading into round 23 converting at an average of 14 per cent and are tonight at just 11 per cent conversion." Someone needs to tell them just to kick it up the guts.

Basically it comes down to St Kilda v Richmond. If saints win we will play the demons otherwise Essendon

Assuming Essendon don't screw up at home to Freo

[stevoswan]

Ports 'live' percentage is 129.38 at the moment. Bye, bye 5th unless the Saints give Sir Nick the perfect send off tomorrow.

That was the worst effort I have seen in a very long time - zero evidence of any level of pride in their club or their own performance (regardless of who was on the park).

worst cliche of the week; Chad Wingard post game after a 115 point win "that was a lot closer game than it looked"

Fair call by Ablett Jr ... as if you want your last game for a club to be on the losing end of that score line

Yes, on that assumption:

If Richmond win it will be Essendon > loser of Geelong v Richmond > winner of Adelaide v GWS > GF (Geelong).

If St Kilda win it will be Melbourne > loser of Adelaide v Port > winner of Geelong v GWS > GF (Adelaide).

My expected opponent in bold. Reckon latter path slightly easier, but really should make a prelim either way.
