    Might have to reconsider the ‘home ground in finals is a huge advantage’ grudge as well.

      Pretty shameful stuff from Port but they look like the "shock and awe" has done them in. Shades of last night's game.

      May well be a competitive and exciting Grand Final I guess.
      They don't need to call on 'em tonight, just too good against a terrible Port team so far.

        Please let it be the Demons that come out on top! Please!
        I was thinking that....we've seen two scintillating performances last night and so far tonight which should make the GF pretty damn good....and if the Dees win, even better.

          Geez I so hope The Dees thrash the dogs in a fortnight.

              Port at least leaving a little interest in it, need to keep this up all quarter.

                  3 quick goals to the Power! Another 6 and they're back in it!

                  Oops! Third one disallowed!

                    I feel embarrassed for JD going to play for this mob.

                      He will reap what he sows. Port have had a good year but been awful tonight. If he goes to the chardonnay sipping fruit tingles, then he gets what he deserves.

                        The two Plims have been even more boring without BT and the complaints about him .

                        These commentators are half asleep .

                          I'm genuinely disappointed Kochie wasn't allowed to be there to watch this live.

                            Richo makes a pretty good point for most of the season Demons and Dogs were top two and so we have a GF with probably the best two teams this season playing off.

                              As much as I hate the dogs, you can't not admire their ability to bulid a list with unbelievable depth. They've got stacks of talent in the list - arguably depth not even GWS at its peak hoarding points of talent reached, and have used so much of it this year. That side of their club has been run exceptionally well for a long while now - even if you do wonder how they can achieve such depth in numbers within the salary cap era, given their top few players are absolute top echelon players.

                              Still hate how they play the game and get an armchair ride so often along the way when it is needed, but their list management is right up there.

                                Yep, have to give credit to the fairypups- their pressure and accurate field kicking were terrific. Port hopeless tonight.
                                Hope the GF is a better game- cmon the Dees!
