Well what can I say opposition supporters. Good luck on Saturday Night. May the best team take the 4 points. Us, the in-form team and you, the out of form team. Should be in for an interesting match. It shouldn't be as close as round 22 last year though.

Lets go Lions!

Well, hopefully it will be Port who's the best team on the night! ;) But we'll have to play a lot better than we did against WC if we are going to beat Brisbane.......

is that the same easy beats that Port Adelaide, West Coast, Kangaroos and Collingwood (all top 8 last season) couldn't defeat in the Wizard Cup and also Fremantle in rd 1?

I guess a brave person would put money on a team which is yet to win a single match of footy all year to beat the competition's benchmark and reigning dual premiers. A very brave person.

Get your hand off it ********!

U mean the Wizard Cup actually means something now?

Well come and talk to me when you get back to back.

If you really want to know I am talking about the same easybeats who have said for the last two years until a fortnight ago the pre-season is only mickey mouse football and is irrelevant.
Also the same easybeats who have lost to their crosstown rival superpower on the last 5 occassions in the real season not the mickey mouse cup.

We've got Broges back from suspension this week and with Primus under a cloud, I really think Dean will be a surprise packet come Saturday night.

I'm still a bit iffy with Lade.. Macca19 and I were discussing him and this season really is make or break.. the "make" that I cant see coming any time soon, unfortunately. :(

Dean played one game last year, ironically against Brisbane in round 22. Showed a bit, but not as much as he has in the Pre Season this year. He knows he's an odds on bet for second ruck, and he has the talent to go all the way.

We've got Shortie (R. James) back aswell and he DID kick that winning goal last year.. I know one Brisbane supporter who is very wary of him and we agree he's very underrated. I know he's looking forward to a good hit out after coming back from a groin injury. Be careful of him, he's a danger man. :D

I think we may be a little more confident at home as well.. Tredders, Cornsey and Dewy should all come out firing after having relatively quiet games last weekend..

.. so I'm mildly confident we can provide a contest. :)

Broges also played in the equal to the Brisbane match, the Essendon (round 17 2001?) victory by 7 points. Tredders with the winning goal, Dewy with a miss close to the end. Less of a crowd, very very important victory with Essendon pretty close to the height of their powers.

He was also good in that match and I think soon after turned a Showdown around for us.

Bowen Lockwood also played in the Essendon game.

Anyone have any idea how the others (Kingsley, Wilson, Schofield) are? I read some mention of the first two maybe being available but that seemed to be just journalistic filler more than anything else.

Huge injury list........:confused:.....

We only have 3 players listed as still injured and we're not exactly talking current players amongst them..........

The Power’s official injury list as at Monday 31st March is as follows:

Cain Ackland (osteitis pubis) – ongoing assessment
Wade Champion (modified program) – 3-4 weeks
Damon White (ankle) – 3-4 weeks
Adam Kingsley (hamstring) – 1 week
Roger James (groin soreness) – test
Paul Koulouriotis (hamstring) – test
Jarrad Schofield (hamstring) – test
Darryl Wakelin (back from Rnd 1) – test
Michael Wilson (hamstring) – test

It's not even round 2 and if we lose again this week we are still in the same position as last year where we had a pretty reasonable minor round.

PS......On this board we can say what we want about our side and opposition sides..........if you have a problem with that you don't have to visit...........

I couldn't give a toss about the cows...........

As for Lade he knows he has to show some form this season after a disappointing 2002 and the fact that he is now the 3rd ruck option now Brogan is back

Wilson is on track to resume with the Magpies this week which should have him raring to go in the AFL in 2-3 weeks............a very handy player to have resuming possibly against the the cows..........

What injury excuse will rooboy come up with this time.........:p

Crows fans are corrupted Port fans (just like Orcs are corrupted Elves). Plus what would this board be without the daily interruption from a Crow? Boring... quiet... ??

Roo has already used the injury excuse, I don't think there's anyone around expecting a baby or anything, so his only option should be to face the music (at least eh PAFC song after the match ;) ). Either that, or have an affair with somebodys wife and pretend to retire. (Or maybe get injured again... who knows?)

BTW, we don't get a room for the simple reason that this is a messageboard and messageboards don't provide rooms. However, if you're willing to find one with internet access for two computers (simultaneously) we'll go in there but we won't miss anything here. Would that suit?

Also you keep on bringing my name and bagging me somewhere I don't post, how cowardly are you.
Then you say I dobbed on you which is a pack of **** as I only took credit to **** you off more, U even admitted a few weeks ago in a thread that you knew that i never dobbed on you but then you still go around bringing it up. Like I said a few weeks ago, it was over 6 months ago, the past is the past and u agreed with me. Just get over it Paul, you just seem to want to come on this board quoting every little thing I say to show how much of a hero you are. I know you have a good relationship with a few Port posters here and think that it's fine to say what you want to belittle me, but to me it just shows what a ****ing prick you are.
What a great tip the saints were, Might shut you and PrideofSA up for a week anyway. Great game by Carey today also, and to top off the deal Torney's set shot miss with a minute and a half to go.

In the player votes by the 3 commentators he got a 1st, 2nd and 3rd........lets hope he keeps it up and can show that sort of form in the real league.......
