A team we beat will play in the Grand Final.

NOT f****** TRUE

Enlighten me. Why is it not true.

Winner of Giants v Eagles next week plays Richmond in Preliminary.

Fairly straightforward proposition

A team we beat will play in the Grand Final.

NOT f****** TRUE

Enlighten me. Why is it not true.

Who cares?????

If you think that that us finishing 11th means we are a top two side you are dumber than I thought.

Melbourne (9th) beat us TWICE.
Essendon (8th) beat us easily.

Swans, Cats and Crows all beat us easily and all are still alive on one side of the draw.

So seriously who gives two s***s. The Tigers absolutely shat on us when it mattered.

Enlighten me how we finished 11th and how that is makes us top 2. It is a moronic tidbit.

<warning for demeaning another poster>

[SaintPav]

How can a side with players like Travis Boak, Sam Gray, Chad Wingard, Ollie Wines, Charlie Dixon, Paddy Ryder and a really good youngster like Powell-Pepper lose a home final to the Eagles?
Shades of our 2011 final loss to the Swans tonight.

I've been saying it all year.
Port are s***.
And we are a poor man's Port.
Port play a s*** game style that results in lots of points and AR copies that s*** game style

They are a joke.

And we are a derivative of a joke.

A Xerox of a s*** team.

Richo left Port 4 seasons ago and game plans change regularly. How is our game plan the same as Ports exactly?

I'm not sure if all this bluster is to hide the fact you didn't understand the finals system.

It is just a tidbit, not a claim that we're a top two side. But if it makes you feel better, go ahead and believe that.

Are you f****** stupid?
If GWS, Eagles or Richmond make it who cares. I understand the system. One of those three will make the GF.
Big f****** WHOOPS
It is you looking for a comfort blanket.

7th beat us
8th THRASHED US
9th BEAT US TWICE!!!!
10th BEAT US TOO!!!

Jesus christ.

If you want to play the 'A beat B And B beat C' game then lets play it properly!

IM all f****** ears.

[skeptic]

On a bit of a war path CG!?

[kosifantutti]

So what's your point?

[Con Gorozidis]

On a bit of a war path CG!?

Kosi hates my guts.

Which is fine.

I'm more than happy to expose him as a f****** moron and it wont be hard. Ill do it in my f****** sleep.

So that night at the Wangaratta Motor Inn meant nothing to you? Nothing at all?

I feel used.

[Con Gorozidis]

So what's your point?

We finished 11th. We are the 11th best side.

End of point.

We hired Richo at a time when everyone believed Port were a great side on the up and Hinkley was a genius. This is simply true. It is undeniable.
Richo has clung on to the Port Power coaching manual ever since.

Plan A - 'Be brave' (around the boundary).
Plan B - What is Plan B? Guys?

Con losin it - take a break bud before you get a nose bleed

Looking forward to watching the Never Tear Us Aparts tear each other apart.

How appropriate that a club led by Koche embraces a song from a guy who died masturbating

Please explain. I am usually upon these things but this one just evades me.

[stevie]

Got home from work in time to see the draw then ET. Loved it as I have a soft spot for eagles as my kin plays for them. Loved seeing the bogans lose and their crowd shut up. Absolute gold! And the free was genuine too, clumsy tackle by a knob! Go all the way Wet Toast!! Though my dad and a few mates follow the tiges so its looking good lol.

Great to see the shitstains smashed too. Now f$%k off Fatson u cheat

Michael Hutchence died due to auto erotic asphyxiation, according to reports. That's when you hang or choke yourself to the point of unconsciousness in order to heighten the effect of orgasm. Alas, many people die doing this as they go too far. So I'm told by a friend..............

[supersaints]

It's a pity both teams could not lose.
Interesting after we lost the match against them with a very goog set play that we failed to negotiate, they fell by failing to defend properly according to Hinckley
Some sort of Karma, also no surprise the high free was done by the shrugging the shoulders trick.

Though I dislike Port, my old ex neighbor Port Champion "Chicken" Neville Hayes would not be very happy,

A team we beat will play in the Grand Final.

Thanks Kosi. Always happy to read these tidbits. As has been noted, it does not change the fact that we are the 11th best team. However if you plotted the performances of all teams all season on a Venn diagram ( although probably a linear rather than two-dimensional plotting is more apt ), your observation means that our circle of output overlaps with each of GWS, Tigers and West Coast. Our best is better than their worst. There have been plenty of years over the journey where that has not been the case. This is a much more even competition, which gives just a little hope over what might otherwise be a long long off-season.

I still get some modicum of enjoyment from the fact that in 1995, we were one of only two teams to beat the rampaging Blues. " We beat the premiers - easily ". Just has a nice ring to it. Perhaps it is the refuge of the underperforming, but if one of those teams we beat go on to win the whole thing, it might prevent me from walking around in sackcloth and ashes all summer. That, and the fact that our cricket team just drew with the might of Bangladesh.

Con I think your posts are hilarious.

Untrue, but hilarious.

How the hell did we let Essendon humiliate us?

They are awful.
