Round 21: Gold Coast vs Port Adelaide, Metricon Stadium Sat 16/8

[SterlingArcher]

I don't think it's farfetched to say the Blues could knock off Port next week - AO obviously different to Port at Metricon or Blues at Etihad, but still, it's not the 'Portress' in recent weeks having lose 3 of their last 4 there (including a 3 point win over Melbourne). Then the Dockers the week after for Port - Port need desperately to win this today to try and get 5th over North - if you finish 5th you might get West Coast or Richmond at your HG, if you finish 6th it might be Essendon or Adelaide (Adelaide especially annoying for Port considering it would remove HGA).

You guys are definitely a chance next week. Personally I think you should be favourites. Loving the footy you guys are playing.

Broadbent and Hartlett our best today by a mile.

 

[Angus Young]

Part of the benefit of being so good earlier in the year.... it is 22 rounds you know.

Form temporary, class permanent etc is the reason I'd stop short of saying we're favourites. Get Gray, Boak, Wines, Wingard, Hartlett all firing back into form in the one week (not unlikely) and I don't see how we can stop them all. Still a game to be won here though before it becomes a big issue. Should run over the Suns now though imo.

Your think it was pouring given how poor the skill level is.

 

[Hodgepodge]

I can't stop vomiting at how bad the skills are.

 

[Jakksynn]

That'd be because it was pouring for three quarters

 

[Jakksynn]

And still is

It hasn't. Only now has it started.

No it wasn't. This game is like watching two blind people compete in formula 1.

 

[Jakksynn]

Are you for real?

 

[PowerForGood]

There's been an inch or rain in 6 hours.

Anyone who thinks there should be a high skills game in that is delusional

im happy about it

 

[QPower]

Love the way Young attacks the contest.

 

[SA HAWK]

68 to 34 inside 50's Port way.

 

[Jakksynn]

Lobbe with Ten tackles. Absolute workhorse. If he could start getting more marks he'd be a very good ruckman

 

[The_Big_Ship]

Still time for the Suns?

Carlton have been in way better form than the Power, huge chance next week.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Please f***ing hang on Port...

 

[Jakksynn]

Are you kidding me

 

[SA HAWK]

Miracle goal.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Wow. Skills gone up a notch.
