Game Day Port v Hawthorn, ANZAC Day 2015

[SureBuddy]

Unbelievable!!! We beat the Hawks with no Robbie and no Ollie!!!

Unreal!!!!!

 

[jack_black16]

Must have put the cue in the rack like hawks last year.

 

[Jim Dixon]

Close but far out. We beat the fricking Hawks guys! We beat them. Hell yeah!

Proud as punch of the guys. Well done indeed.

Travis Boak wins the Peter Badcoe Medal.

 

[Tredz]

How good were Hawthorn? To bad for our guys they played well but can take some consolation that we won on the score board but Hawthorn really just dominated all game and deserved to win the actual game! Better luck next week.

So we win the game that some of you gooses thought we'd get smashed in and you're still not ******* happy. Go and get stuffed.

this

 

[MrMeaner]

In reality, the hard game last week, plus Lobbe out of condition due to his injury and without experience in Gray and White, made that a very good win. It doesn't matter when you kick the goals. We did enough in that first half to get over the line.

Relieved and satisfied. Hopefully, we can back it up against the tingles next week. We'll have to show a lot more composure than we did in that second half.

 

[Chrizzt]

Some quality throw ball by the Hawks at the end there, but try as the umps did, and by God they did, we were still too good.

 

[LeoMessi]

I am worried about our fitness as we slowed down so much in the last quarter. But many wrote us off in this game and with 2 of our best players out today we did really well. I'm rapt with this game

 

[davesnothere]

Take the 4 points but what a gutless mindless last quarter

Nah we lost structure as Lobbe tired and played the best side in the comp.

 

[edgie]

went to defensive we would have scored more if we left shultz inside 50...which i have said a million times but ken keeps pushing our forwards up the ground.

You and me both, I counted 3 kicks to nothing in the last quarter. All it takes it one target at home to steady the game for us.

 

[raman]

So we win the game that some of you gooses thought we'd get smashed in and you're still not ******* happy. Go and get stuffed.

Thank you.

 

[Janus]

Thank f**k for that.

Great win, but f**k me how did we drop a 58 point lead.

We were missing our two best inside clearance mids? Might have something to do with it.

We've played Fremantle away, Sydney then North. The three top five sides from last year. Might also have something to do with it.

We played the reigning premiers who have too much pride to be rolled by that margin.

 

[Forzaport]

We visibly missed Wines and Gray in that last qtr. great win tho

 

[shield of power]

Good win against quality oppo. Wiv two of our best inside mids out. Courageous win I say

 

[raman]

If we had rolled Hawthorn for 80 points I'd be worried about us next week. Only thing better than a loss you can learn from is a win you can learn from.

A song


And now, it's ANZAC Day, John Schumann will be headlining the Hong Kong Football club event.

Wowie , fantastic game, Port, congratulations . Ran out of legs a bit in the second half when Hawks decided to challenge , but you guys are great.

I think we have sussed you after tonight , we'll be ready next time. So will you I guess.

You have a beautiful home ground there too. The fans right behind you as well, your are real contenders this will be good year. .

I'm proud of my boys coming home you just had too much for us tonight, the mighty Hawks, but the better side won tonight , congratulations.

See you in September. Go Hawks!!!

 

[Tredz]

We don't deserve to win this. ****.

Rubbish

 

[Ant Bear]

How mountainous was Carlile in they final term?

 

[RustyCage]

Does anyone know what that free against Westhoff late in the last was for? Had everyone baffled

 

[Macca19]

Brilliant effort to hold on

 

[cj_09]

Well done Boaky.

 

[Skeeta01]

What a great victory.... last year against Hawks how many did they have out? We went understrength, against the wall, missing arguably 2 of our best 5 and came away with the W.... very impressive and happy

 

[raman]

How mountainous was Carlile in they final term?

All night more like.

This was his "I am not the third tall" game.

 

[glitch01]

To all the doubters.....you were wrong!!!

 

[spookism]

perspective - two of our best inside mids and game winners out against an in form back to back premier.

Perspective - We built a large enough lead that we still won. Four points is still four points.
Not all wins are four quarter performances as this (still) amazing win attests too.
