don't have to pick a weak side to lose, just tell the lads how important this game is, we'll lose then.

Why would North deserve it more than us? They've been terrible this year.

Their biggest failing (like us) has been an inability to put teams away, with their run of close losses topping our run.

They also flogged Essendon* (which we failed to do when they were at their lowest), beat Geelong, and twice come close to knocking off Hawthorn.

Right now, their form warrants a finals berth much more than us, and I can say with 100% certainty that teams would be more wary of them than us.

They deserve nothing unless they finish above us. They had a chance to beat us and choked in front of goal like us last night.

Form is determined by ladder position at the end of year

Considering Port have nothing to play for and both Wingard (groin) and Hartlett (susp) will be missing we SHOULD win this one.

Scotland didn't kick on his right foot last night apparently due to injury so I doubt he'll come up.

My changes would be:

Out
McLean (inj)
Scotland (inj)
Casboult

In
Walker
Ellard
Kreuzer

Not unless there's an even number of rounds where teams play everyone twice. But that's another issue :razz:

We'll win after we embarrassed ourselves last night. I'd prefer it that we want to win every week rather than being humiliated into action.

Imagine if Garlett played last night, would have kicked 0.5 including 3 posters.

Good luck over there Doc. I went last year and almost got in a fight with a teenage girl.

Did you steal her babies dummie? :)

He did but fell away badly. There was a reason he was in the 2's yesterday.
