There's games at both MCG and Docklands scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. (Soccer match on Friday at MCG.)
Probably have to play it Monday night if they can't do Alice.

Booney wrote:With Geelong rolling into town on an 8 game winning streak sitting a top of the ladder the task in front of Port Adelaide was clear, not only would the Cats test every part of Port Adelaide's game but they would keep coming and that's how it played out, Geelong running out 12 point winners after a pulsating final term.
With both sides entering the contest without a recognised ruckman the opening term was played as football should be played, hard, tough and both sides looking to score. Mitch Georgiades had the opening goal inside the first minute, Sam Powell-Pepper leading the charge for Port Adelaide added another moments later and Port had the early break. The next 3 went the way of the Cats before Marshall and the most elegant of left boots Kane Farrell responded and Port had taken back the lead. Goals to Rohan ( his second ) and Cameron had the Cats leading at 1/4 time but the game was on even keel.
Dangerfield matched Georgiades with a goal in the opening minute of the second, Georgiades soon replied with his second and the contest belied the ladder positions of the two sides. The contest was hot, the ball movement swift and both sides were scoring. The 10 minutes prior to half time couldn't have gone any worse for Port Adelaide, Miers, Close, Cameron and a howler from Burton allowed Smith to kick Geelong's 4th goal in 10 minutes, 8 of the last 9 and take what looked to be a match winning 34 point lead into the half time break.
Port though, as it has done throughout the year, played a scintillating 30 minutes of football after half time, Jeremy Finlayson took control in the middle and in the front half Charlie Dixon took young gun Sam De Koning to the cleaners with an outstanding individual performance. Goals to Powell Pepper, Dixon and Georgiades third on the back of 5 inside 50's. The Cats were on the back foot. Stengle steadied only to have Dixon nail his second, Gray, McEntee, Marshall and Boak joined the party and the Adelaide Oval crowd was up and about. 8 goals ( from 19 I50 ) to 1 and the last break has Port in front by 7 points.
I mentioned above that Geelong would keep coming, this time though the charge wasn't led by rarely seen Selwood and Dangerfield but the next group of Geelong midfielders the impressive Atkins, the smooth moving Guthrie ( the good one ) and Cameron who had his third goal just 15 seconds into the term. Stengle added another and the arm wrestle was on. Dixon and Georgiades both had chances to add to their tally but missed before Karl Amon slotted a major from the top of the 50m arc and once again Port had the lead. In what ultimately became an important piece of play Dixon rolled an ankle and left the field for a period of time, his dominance in the air was lost and Geelong held Port in their defensive 50 as the target down the line had gone. Into time on and on the back of this territory dominance the Port back line became disjointed, Hawkins with two out bodied Clurey to kick his third and put the Cats in front, when he kicked his 4th from the arc the game was over and the top of the table Cats had survived.
I'll never be happy with a loss, however it would have been easy to roll over and let the top of the table side run all over you but when the likes of Powell-Pepper, Dixon and Boak lead the way the heart beat of this team is still there.
Boon's best - Dixon, Powell-Pepper, Georgiades, Boak, Amon, Finlayson

In all seriousness the arguments are about Selwood going on or not equally apply to Boak.
Both from the same draft, both inspirational leaders for their teams. Yes one plays more inside than the other but to me they are both champions of our game who deserve the same respect as to if and when they “pull stumps”

Boak hasn't slowed down as quickly as Selwood has not that pace was Selwood's best asset it was his ability to be at each contest and impact upon it, that's not what it was. Boak hasn't copped anywhere near the punishment Selwood has. Boak might play 3 more years.

I hope he retires at the end of the year on a high. He was BOG a few weeks ago. Nothing worse than a champion playing on longer than they should. They deserve to be remembered for their entire career, not their last year which sometimes unfortunately happens when they struggle after going on longer than they should have.
