5 - Bontempelli
4 - Trealor
3 - English
2 - Williams
1 - L. Jones (took quite a few good marks in the back 50 when the pressure was on and the game was tight).
Yea, I get Hannan should've got a free kick in the goal square, but I'm not even angry at the Ump. We had them outnumbered 3/4 to 1 and the ball bouncing our way they should've been a goal.
Death, taxes, 15 goal turn arounds against the Bulldogs.
How many times has this happened since the 2021 Grand Final? Melbourne exposed us in the last quarter and a half of that game, and since it seems like it happens every 3-4 weeks. Happened round 1 against Melbourne.
You’re right. We had chances mid way in the 3rd Q to put Melbourne away and take a 5-6 goal lead at the break, instead we didn’t convert and when we needed our midfield to stand up, they didn’t.
In general we have a good record at Adelaide Oval vs Port Adelaide. If I recall correctly we've won there at least 4 times since 2016 (2016, 2019, 2021 x 2). Yes, Schache kicked 3 in that game in 2019 I think.
Scott out for Weightman. Either Weightman or JJ as sub.
Gardener out for Keath (although I think Bevo will drop Cordy).
I’d take out R. Smith, but Bevo won’t so I don’t expect any other changes.
I’d be happy to have an era like North in the 90s which it will be if we win the premiership in 2 weeks. If we win I’m sure comparisons will be made between us and Hawthorn (08 then 13).
Can't believe we have made our 2nd GF in 5 years. To quote my grandfather "I can't believe we are their again , 70 years I have waited for 1grandfinal now we are in our second in 5 years".
I was much calmer for this prelim. I didn't expect us to win, as I had those expectations in 2016. Amazing...
Exactly. I take only pure joy out of St Kilda meltdowns, which are becoming more and more common every season.
Their fans are up there with Essendon and Richmond for me.
Didn't we have a 10-2 or 9-1-2 start in 2008? I guess there's one less dominate team this season than in that season (Geelong and Hawthorn).
I'm just worried about how we lose, seems like it can fall apart a bit easy against well coached sides.
