Round 19: the other games. And then there were...err...14?

Port giving the Cats a run. 6 goal to 1 third term has them only 6 points down, late in that quarter.

[Maltopia]

Re the Richmond and Freo draw, we also can overtake Freo if they have another draw (admittedly very unlikely) and we keep winning, we don’t need them to lose another game.

[Mark26]

The Cats and Port are tied in the 4th. Could we see another draw? I hope so!

I'd probably prefer a Port loss. If we happen to finish 5th, I'd certainly want a knock out final against any of the other contenders, rather than a resurgent Port.

You've gone mad. Top 4 and we "only" have to win three games. Bottom and we have to win four.

I know, but I would like to see the Port zombie properly killed off. It just makes me a touch uneasy.

Well the Cats are two goals up with two mins to play, so Port probably are dead.

You'd think that, but having constructed scenarios where either Hawthorn or Essendon make the eight, then I suspect that I could construct one where Port remain undead, rather than dead. But it would be mildly ironic, if dad's army did effectively killed the zombie.

It wouldn’t hurt if the Suns beat the Lions

[i'm-uninformed2]

Port are technically alive, but you can strike them out now.

Yuck...Luke Darcy is commentating AND it is a Bulldogs game.

I think it's part of his work for the dole commitments.

I do hope Melbourne run away with it. Obviously we have Suns v Lions up here. Quite a good game, so far.

So, I have a question. Is Port Adelaide actually a place? You know, like with ships and containers and militant unionists and "salty old sea dogs"
propping up the bar telling tall stories about storms and pirates? Or is it just some weird footy construct like Greater Western Sydney?
