Preview Good Friday football - Port Adelaide v West Coast Eagles @ Optus Stadium

[Kingfish73]

The four phases of a pumping...

 

[pastmyprimus]

WC are going to nail us to the cross

 

[Iwish]

The eagles would have to have a real off night for us to get close. Which is possible after a close derby win but I see it unlikely. Eagles by about 6 goals

 

[Interstater]

I feel that this week we are going straight to Acceptance.
No point going through Denial - its going to happen
No point going through Anger
Absolutely no point getting depressed about it.
Yep - straight to Acceptance - I have absolutely no hope about this game, therefore I can't be disappointed.

Sick of bombing it to midget forward lines.
Sick of seeing players run through our defence like Winx on steroids.
Sick of trying to comprehend that this shitshow is the same club I followed as a kid.
Sick of thinking about how the legacy of this club is going to be laughed at in our 150th year, under this s**t coach.
Sick of my club not making the hard decisions.

Go to acceptance, go directly to acceptance, do not pass hope, just pay your $200.

 

[PowerLil]

Good chance it’ll be rainy which really negates our intercept marking at the back. Evens it up somewhat.

Armageddon type rain wouldn't negate your intercept marking.

 

[Forzaport]

Our team is psychologically ****ed. Fagan knew it, Hardwick knew it. We will only beat teams well below us in the skills and development (not many). Eagles will smash us in the contest and in the air and we’ll fold because someone has to lose and our team doesn’t go for the jugular.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Power with a stronger game led by Lycett.

Eagles by only 29.

 

[Coobk001]

Hold me......


Eagles by 72

 

[ozph1870]

If i start drinking at 7am hopefully I pass out minutes before the opening bounce

 

[Macca19]

I heard West Coast officials are building 22 crosses to erect around the ground after we get brutally murdered on Friday.

West Coast by 93 points

 

[ROBBBO]

Port by 8

 

[VineValerian]

The eagles would have to have a real off night for us to get close. Which is possible after a close derby win but I see it unlikely. Eagles by about 16 goals

FTFY.

 

[Chokito]

For those making the trip, here’s the info for the pre-function.

I really thought we’d be 4-0 going into this match. Now I don’t know what to believe anymore. Sigh.

I feel like I've been getting smashed on this forum lately for being negative, but for me it wasn't negativity, it was realism and acceptance of where we were. I passed the depression phase late last year, and have spent the preseason mid way through acceptance. I'm now at peak acceptance. Yesterday didn't even hurt, I knew it'd happen from mid 2nd qtr. We're s**t and its obvious.

Can't believe how deluded certain posters have been when talking about us as a flag chance ffs. I'm really not looking forward to the next few months on this board as our people start to exit the denial phase.

 

[Premiers04]

Any chance we can forfeit the match now and save everyone the hassle?

 

[Port85]

How tall is it?

Extendable to 3m

 

[Greasyrhys]

If Howard doesn’t get dropped, then he should do something useful & do to mcgovern like what Jonas did to gaff 3 years ago, may be our only chance...

 

[Marmozet]

Our record against the team that is the reigning premier may take a hit this year:

Sydney 2013
Hawthorn 2014
Hawthorn 2015
Hawthorn 2016
Western Bulldogs 2017
Richmond 2018
West Coast 2019

 

[JUSTWORK]

Really not sure what to think.

Could come out and win by a kick, could go down by 120.

 

[Port85]

It won't work but given how we are playing I think our best chance would be to "park the bus" full 2018 style.

Howard, Clurey, Jonas, Westhoff back.

Ryder, Wines & Ebert down the line as overhead marking targets.

Try rope-a-dope McGovern & co by drawing them to the centre and hope their legs get tired from kicking so many balls inside 50.

Then hit them on the counter with Butters, Duursma and Rozee.

Repeat. Win 1-0

 

[ClickBOOM1870]

Im going against the grain here.

Backing the boys to respond and feeling super positive about it!

Port by 17.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

God help us

 

[Grave Danger]

Maybe if there's no speculation about Kennedy's fitness he'll have an off night. So it will be Darling's or Oscar Allen's or Liam Ryan's turn to kick 6.
