Port travels to Melbourne tomorrow for Friday night's NAB Cup semi-final against the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium with the winner to face either St Kilda or Fremantle at Etihad Stadium the following week. Logistical issues dictate that neither Perth nor Adelaide can host the March 13 pre-season grand final, which Port has won twice under Williams.
I heard Monkey Boy on radio an hour ago, he said if the Shockers win, the Granny could be played in Perth.

Seems to have done the usual AFL backflip.
If Freo win, I dont actually care if it's played on the moon to be honest lol
Good point :)

Does anyone remember what the crowd was when we won the 2004 Wizard Cup against Geelong. Both were up and coming teams at that time, and as I recall, crowd was pretty big. If Dogs got highest ever crowd of 12000 to their family day you would think there would be quite a lot at a NAB GF. And I would imagine more of the saints members who have been sitting at home watching (like my parents for instance) will finally pull their fingers out for a NAB GF. Especially seeing we don't play in melb in round 1.
The 2004 Wizard Cup Final got 50,000+.

Not sure if we'll see that again for a while - but a Dogs vs Saints final would get a pretty decent crowd I would think.
Yes, I was a bit slow off the mark getting tickets and wound up with standing room.
Place was packed.
But a great game - even if the coach and captain looked unenthused.


The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules. 
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
