Preview Port Adelaide vs Lions, Round 7 2016

[MrPortAdelaide]

Actually forgot that the game is on sunday and that there will be another session, so I guess Wingard could get up

it wont be the concussion thats the problem, it might be another injury? but i think he will be fine

 

[MrPortAdelaide]

if any Lions supporters give me flack i just say one thing, 2004

 

[Figjam17]

if any Lions supporters give me flack i just say one thing, 2004

And then we say 2007?

Actually 4 things

how's our 3 time premiership captain going down there?

 

[JasRulz63]

how's our 3 time premiership captain going down there?

I hear the 2007 Grand Final is his fault now.

 

[BRAB]

Yeah who's the club without Schache?

 

[Big Lion]

I think we'll get by with 2001,2002,2003 and the fact we were well in to 2004 until we ran out of legs (we were up by a point at half time were't we?), playing that final at the MCG didn't help there. I'd probably mention Polec myself, your most important player and one we could well use.

 

[MrPortAdelaide]

And then we say 2007?

despite the flogging 2007 was one of the great achievements in modern footy, that team was only average at best and we were never going to beat Geelong

 

[MrPortAdelaide]

I hear the 2007 Grand Final is his fault now.

he's pretty average i think, jobs for the boys via hart

you did trade shattock to us

 

[MrPortAdelaide]

Yeah who's the club without Schache?

you know we had the wood over Brisbane in that era, i woudl have loved to play in a GF against them in 01,02 or 03 as i think we would have won

If you had been good enough to play in them you would have. Clearly you weren't

 

[blackpowerlappin]

As you know, the wood in H&A is very different to Finals. That's why it took you until the 4th edition to knock us over, with an extra day off and a few of our champs battered and bruised before the ball was bounced. Just saying

Talking of the age experience thing I saw this analysis that I thought was interesting the other day:

What does it tell me? That GWS are scary. Also that our list profile isnt that bad and if we hold the group together we should be a conteder in a few years

 

[JasRulz63]

Uh...we defeated Port during the finals in 2001 and 2002.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Wow, so you were not good enough to make it but you would have won. Could be one of the most unfounded cockiest thing I have ever heard. "We would have beaten what's maybe the greatest team of all time". Delusional.

 

[Wounded Lion]

you know we had the wood over Brisbane in that era, i woudl have loved to play in a GF against them in 01,02 or 03 as i think we would have won

2001 Round 1 Port
2001 Round 16 Brisbane
2001 Qualifying Final Brisbane
2002 Round 7 Brisbane
2002 Round 22 Port
2002 Preliminary Final Brisbane
2003 Round 2 Brisbane
2003 Round 17 Port

I'm counting 5-3 to us in that era mate, I think you have the wrong definition of the term "wood".

Oh, sorry, I forgot to count that Pre Season Grand Final in 01, I guess that makes it 5-4...

 

[Sausages]

At this point I'd like to say, the chap in the thongs WAS a real person and that did happen.

As you were.

 

[MrPortAdelaide]

ok, you were better, just put some development into Mayes for the rest of the year will ya

 

[MrPortAdelaide]

this game is pretty simple, it who ever makes the most turn overs will loose

 

[Voss the boss]

Wo

you know we had the wood over Brisbane in that era, i woudl have loved to play in a GF against them in 01,02 or 03 as i think we would have won

Would have loved the home prelim in 2004 and like we earnt and we would have won.

I guess now we are remembered as the best team ever - you guys are remembered as suffering the biggest loss in a gf ever mmmm know which I would take.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

if any Lions supporters give me flack i just say one thing, 2004

You were at your peak in 2004 - we were on the wane. Your peak lasted one year. Ours lasted almost four.

 

[BRAB]

Nah, port fans are cool.

Why do I say these things

 

[MrPortAdelaide]

Why do I say these things

just tryin to liven things up, thanks for Shattock & Harding
