    Crowd was electric today at Adelaide Oval. I was seated near the hill which was awesome for viewing the game. We dominated so much in that first qtr but we were lackluster for the second. Steadied for the third and went for the k--- in the fourth. Brodie Smith had his best game since Round 2 imo. And Josh Jenkins was awesome in the air. He's leaps and bounds better in aerial contests now compared to last year.

    Best seat I've ever been in.

    Hope North beat Richmond and we beat Geelong so that we can get a home final. :ohno:

    Usually beer at the footy is like making love near the river, it's close to water.

    But for some reason I got pretty lightheaded from only one beer. :laff:

    I hope Port flog the s--- outta Freo - would be embarrassing if we lose. :ohno:

    They're showing 0 respect to Port who plan to finish this season on a high. Wouldn't know how to feel playing against a reserves team.

    I know Freo are thinking about next week, I hope Port give them more to think about. :emoji_wink:

    Smash 'em. I hate Freo's arrogance. f--- Fremantle as a club, staff and crew.

    And if you're down with them, then f--- you too.

    Ross Lyon, f--- you too.

    :pac:

    To be honest, I think it's harsh to call them tankers which people are. They obviously don't care about this round and want to prepare for the finals and at the same time they're giving other players a chance.

    But what I don't like about it is that they're showing no respect to us. :pierce:

    Don't really want them to succeed in the finals either.

    I'm not sure how I feel about it either. I mean no matter what they have the minor premiership so I don't know if I'd classify it as tanking because they're not gaining anything new from losing or winning. Look, you can't deny that if you were Lyon you'd want to do the same though if you could.

    Yeah I mean it's something you'd want to do and the logic of it seems great but I do wonder if it does make that much of a difference.

    He's the better Menzel as well. Dan is a freak of nature. His return to footy last week was something to behold.

    If only he stayed injury-free, would be a star.
