    Trust me, that question wouldn't go well in the north eastern suburbs of Adelaide.

      Port Adelaide is the SANFL's version of Collingwood, except they actually won their Grand Finals instead of losing them. They have won 36 SANFL premierships. Toffs who barrack for other clubs HATE them.

      Fun fact: their club song is based on the Notre Dame march, the same as the Swans.

      And yes, Port Adelaide is a real place.

        Suns v Lions is an excellent game. Still a pretty good chance that the Suns will do us a favour. Touk Miller is a front runner for my favourite player that isn't a Swan.

          I had planned to watch that game but within 30 seconds turn over to the other one. That guy has the IQ and charisma of a paper clip.

              Sometimes people muse about trading for Jack Lukosuis. Just forget it.

              He just put in such a weak effort at a big moment. Suns had five minutes to drag back three goals and were heading inside 50. Ball bounces above his head and required him to take one in the guts to keep it moving. Totally dogged it. He’s weak as piss.

              Sums up his career. Skills, but no heart.

                First one to a 100 rule stood up in the Suns v Lions. Let's hope it stands up for Melbourne.

                Yes, as someone who has seen a lot of the Suns, I do think he's one of the more overrated players in the competition. While he has kicking skills, he misses a lot of targets and rarely seems to run at top pace.

                      I'm assuming you think that we can catch Melbourne?

                        They play Freo next so we’ll catch the loser on points but Melbourbe have got quite a percentage gap on us, if they lose.

                          Melbourne finish with Fremantle, Collingwood, Carlton, Brisbane. Tonight's loss means there's something to be gained for us in each of those games, no matter which team wins.

                          But yes, we can catch them.

                            Good, just checking that there wasn't a closet Bulldogs affection.

                            It seems like Ugle-Hagan had a big night. And remember, he's the number one pick that the Bulldogs got, essentially for noticing that the gun forward from Framlingham was indigenous.

                                Every game for Melbourne is a tough one. They can easily fall out of the top 4, which would really open up the premiership. Also, we have Melbourne's 1st rounder, so the lower they finish the better.
