Fly to Tasmania then to Brisbane then to Perth then to Adelaide while Port Adelaide lead a normal life back in SA the whole time, have one less game and almost a full list to choose from.
All things being equal I'd give the Dogs a chance but hard to see them overcoming their leadup.
Port should be shorter IMHO.
And this is why if Port don’t win, it will be one of the all time chokes.
Deep down you know it, all Port supporters know it.

Think day 4 of the Masters, you're 5 shots in front going into Sunday, you go birdie, par, birdie for a 6 shot lead and then go 8 over on the back 9 to lose it with a 4 putt on the 18th. That's a choke. Adelaide in 2017, that's a choke. Top all year, two home finals where they belt the opposition then lose the GF.
Winning the last minor round game by 2 points to go from 5th to 2nd isn't what you'd call a 7 shot lead with 9 to play.
U sure you're not thinking of Port last year. Crows weren't top all year in 2017. Port were actually top after round 2 in 2017.
