The first preliminary final is in Perth tonight, when Melbourne more or less host Geelong. I'm sure the large majority of neutral observers will be going for the Demons in this. Except perhaps for St Kilda fans, who if Melbourne win the premiership, will inherit the not so coveted tag of longest premiership drought. Long suffering Melbourne fans will probably be pretty nervous going into this, half expecting their bubble to burst, but personally, I think the most likely result is for them to be enjoying a comfortable win.
Tomorrow night, Port host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. It will be interesting to see how the Port fans react, if Stevic, Rosebury and Findlay serve up another addition of 'free kick Bulldogs'? My guess is, not well. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Though either way, I expect Port's pressure to be too good.
