Preview Round 4, 2015: Port Adelaide v Hawthorn, ANZAC Day, 7.40pm @ Adelaide Oval

[Dixie Flatline]

The Power overcame a very spirited and committed North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium by 8 points to avoid falling to 0-3. They would love nothing more than to avenge their close and controversial loss to Hawthorn in last year's grand final. Watching Hawthorn tear apart Sydney would have stuck in the craw of every Port Adelaide supporter. Plus let's not forget the Port Adelaide influence that permeates Hawthorn from the coach down.

Post your prophecies here.

Ins, outs and all that stuff.

Thanks for the reminder that we're going to have to sit through their concocted pregame rubbish, Grizz.

No change, unless Hill forces Billy out, but he really took his chance today.

The thought of the Ferris brothers, sitting in some corporate box, rocking on while a bunch of Port supporters sing their song makes me feel slightly ill.

Hill Bill. Sounds like a Tarantino movie...

 

[JoeHawk]

Can't wait for this. Although Hawks have a day less to prepare, Port had very physical game against Roos whereas Hawks were hardly pushed in comparison against the doggies.

With Hill back and a healthy list feeling good about this one. As we know last year we played an in-form Port with a very undermanned team and lost by only a couple of goals.

Feeling confident.

We're gonna have to be ready for next week 50000 port supporters and port fired up after they're great win. we must come to play

 

[Matt Stevic]

Considering the umpires gifted us a win last year, I tip Port by 30. We can't be that lucky twice.

 

[JoeHawk]

Hill in Langford out

No way I'd be dropping Langford just yet. If I recall he was great against Port in the PF and this could just be the game to switch him back into gear.

 

[Procrastinator35]

It's going to be a tough Road trip to be sure!

Hill back in is a no brainer!

We'll have the Crowd, the umps & the draw all against us....Not expecting a miracle here!

Hill in for Anderson, Billy the sub. Langford on a knife's edge.

Let's hope so

Who does hill come in for then?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Win this and 3-1 is a good start to they year, lose and its a disappointing start... I think if we have no injuries out of today us in a close one.

 

[Hawker55]

Who does hill come in for then?

Hartung. Or Anderson.

 

[JoeHawk]

Who does hill come in for then?

Perhaps Jed or sadly Whitecross. I think Ports pace might worry Whitecross until he gets a few more games behind him. Hard call.

 

[ItsOver9000]

Geez wow i was really impressed by whitey

Hartung. Or Anderson.

Hartung had 24 disposals. Would be stiff to get dropped.

 

[ItsOver9000]

I think we need hartung to have that extra run next week

 

[JoeHawk]

Geez wow i was really impressed by whitey

I'm just going by disposals. Didn't see the game just listen on radio. Happy to be proven wrong.

 

[Hawker55]

Anderson then. I'm convinced he wouldn't have played today if Hill had made it - he was beyond terrible against the Dons.
