Whilst it is disappointing that we missed the 8, what should give us confidence going forward is that we have beaten 3 of the top 4 sides this year. Our record of 3 from 5 against the top 4 is pretty good. |

We need to be like Port. Good pre-season, get the fitness right, some young kids coming on, smart trades and drafting, straight back in the finals. _________________ Buon Giorno |

Well, we did beat both the swans and now red hot Port, so we must have something going for us. ! _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

Port were in their late season slump due to heavy training load when we beat them. _________________ Buon Giorno |

Maybe so, but we had half our team out there, and beat the at least prelim finalists with sheer guys and determination. _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

They were training for a premiership. We were engaging consultants to see what is wrong with our training. _________________ Buon Giorno |

I suspect not as it was not clear we would even make the finals, as turned out to be the case. Port had a case of the flu wipe them out that week, like we did when Essendon pummelled us. _________________ One team, one dream - the Pies and this year's premiership |

Looking forward to the days we start beating Hawthorn again. Hope next weekend starts a long decline for them when Port runs them off their legs. |

Not 100% sure how it works but most of our play twice sides should come from our 7-12 group on the ladder. |
