A song
It is a fine line between pleasure and pain

Swans take out 3 talls to bring in another 3. .. Pyke a handy in for them ... has he been injured?

What time does Dan Murphys open.... going to need my scotch for this one, I'm already nervous..!

Pfft I have to head off to work when the game finishes.
That will be even more of a hell, no drinking and then off to work.

Pull a sickie..

 

[El Zorro]

Port by 10 points.

 

[Jonts]

Something has happened overnight

We'll win this

 

[Minkya]

Checked out the boys yesterday at SCG training. Looked sharp and energised. Bring that to the game tonight, we'll win!

 

[Magpiespower]

Sniff, sniff... I smell... an UPSET!!!

Was there at the SCG for that Jared Poulton kick after the siren.

Ah, what an epic weekend that was...

 

[1954]

Ted Richards looked very ordinary last week against the tiggers, Reiwoldt put a space on him a number of times and scored goals, maybe Schulzy can do something similar tonight.

 

[Janus]

I was saying we would beat Sydney before it was cool

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

Port by 35
Hombsch will kick his first goal.
Pittard will have a field day, 35 possies.

 

[diegodcg]

Port by 23

 

[wharfietilidie]

Every game this year I have watched teams successfully come to play Port - clog the corridor, spares down back, work our forwards into defence and so on. Meanwhile, each week Port appear to come and play themselves - are we brave enough? tackle hard enough? run hard enough? I sincerely hope that we instead come to play Sydney tonight, exploit their temporary lack of forward line and stretch their tall defenders with the inclusion of Ryder for Mitchell. In short work a structure that hurts Sydney specifically. Pound for pound we have the cattle that can beat Sydney, just need them to perform and be deployed properly (and flexibly) if plan A does not work.

 

[klem22]

Unsure about this game the big issue is Ports form and that is questionable so i suggest the result has to be also.

 

[Power Raid]

I feel a little numb going into this contest

 

[Steve Dore]

.... Was there at the SCG for that Jared Poulton kick after the siren....

Last Port game I attended at the SCG was round 2, 1998. Lockett kicked 12.1 and Sydney won by 6 goals.

 

[Adz2332]

Wasnt confident leading up to this game. even less so now....
Have a feeling this one wont end well at all.
Sydney 42

 

[scottjr]

Living in hope. Our best is good enough.

 

[charcolechaddy]

ive been positive all year and it bought me nothing but pain..... swans by 105 pts!

 

[chiwigi]

Hate Thursday night games, unless they are away and I have nothing on because I've hurt my back .

We will win this in a close one both with sub 90 scores.

 

[BornPort]

Swans will win comfortably.

 

[Forzaport]

This is probably our best chance ever of beating Sydney at the SCG. Carn Ports.

 

[240volt]

We are going to need to lift all over the ground to win this one. The outs for Sydney must help but there style of play kills us every time. We need to find a way around this sort of game plan to be a force again in this comp.

 

[LukeSA]

The way i see it we are damned if we do damned if we don't with tonights game, we win the kamry korp™ media will say we were gifted this game by the MRP, lose and can't even without the bondi billionaires herpy derpy.

Honestly swans by 30+, can't see Ryder having that big an impact on the teams performance.
