    So our home game against Port is played on Ports home ground. Nice.

        Yep, it's the price we are paying with the redevelopment.

          If Footscray beat Port this week and Brisbane(5th) beat Melbourne(6th), we will jump to 6th and avoid a sudden death final.

            In good news, it looks like O'Brien, Garcia and Rourke will be back this week.

              All things considered we shouldn't have been having a home game at their home ground, it should have always either been at Williamstown or Chirnside Park.

                  Doesn't 6th just get a week off and play one of the wild card qualifiers in an elimination final in week 2

                    I don't think it's possible for us to finish lower than 7th unless everything goes wrong and any of the three teams below us records a triple digit victory and we lose. If we win and Casey loses then we avoid the wild card round, we can still avoid it if they win as well if we win by roughly 70 points.

                      B: H. Crozier (9), J. Busslinger (5), N. Drummond (51)

                      HB: L. Cleary (36), T. O'Brien (22), R. Gardner (43)

                      C: R. Garcia (38), L. Sullivan (53), R. Smith (37)

                      HF: H. Gallagher (12), C. Clarke (8), L. McNeil (30)

                      F: C. Raak (40), E. MacPherson (67), B. Khamis (24)

                      R: J. Sweet (41), A. Jones (32), T. McLean (16)

                      INT: L. Goater (58), J. Chatfield (52), S. Willoughby (73), D. Orgill (50), H. Bromell (60)*

                      EMG: E. Hunt (72), C. Craig-Peters (61), C. MacIsaac (56), J. Kellett (57), N. Harris (62), J. Gilbee (69), T. Maple (65)

                      IN: H. Bromell, L. Cleary, H. Gallagher, R. Garcia, A. Jones, T. O'Brien, R. Smith

                      OUT: C. Craig-Peters, J. Gilbee, N. Harris, E. Hunt, J. Kellett, C. Lewis, C. MacIsaac


                      Best of luck to Roarke, Tim, Gallagher and Garcia in their returns. Need to make a big push for the VFL finals this year as it's most likely the last hurrah for a few of these players with us.

                        Jones and McNeil held out for tomorrow, Craig-Peters and Hunt have replaced them.

                          Port defender somehow managed to pick Raak standing completely on his own between two Port targets and we get our second goal.

                            Thanks Testekill. I thought it started at 12. Made me login to broadcast to see Toby kick a lively goal.

                            Our day will come
                            And we'll have everything.
                            We'll share the joy
                            Just like '54 again.
