Yea all these tingle media types talking up Adelaide & how Port can't go with this or that has me hankering for JHF, Butters & Rozee to go god mode on their hyped up potatoes.

Rory Laird and Matt Crouch will pants our blokes.

It'll be murder in a phonebox

Yeah I very much get the feeling the result hinges on the battle of Wines + Drew vs Crouch + Laird

I think so too and seriously our boys should be able to equal them.

Wines v Crouch, Drew v Laird.

Just make sure we man up their man outside the pack waiting for the ball coming out.

 

[Ports1870]

Wines and Drew will be our most important players as where the crows have been beating us in the last couple years is at the contest, so if our big bodied guys can do their role well it will allow the likes of JHF, Butters and Rozee to kill them with their class

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Laird has been moved to half back the past few weeks. If you want him tagged let's bring back McEntee.

 

[Windy Cindy]

here go the clowns

just seeing his head makes me want to see port absolutely destroy them and rub their noses in it afterwards.

 

[Windy Cindy]

feels like to me, if we cant beat this mob in a game that will be similar to a final, with them talking smack..

we aint winning shit in the finals and id rather miss out altogether than get embarrassed in a one off final or go out in straight sets again

 

[pstew2dstew]

It is really crazy that our whole entire season hinges on this game.

I was looking at the ladder we could drop out given who Carlton have. And we are sitting 2nd with 2 games to go. 1 away to the other team fighting to stay in the 8.

Win this and it's probably top 4, lose this and we are out of the 8 come seasons end imo.

This could be the ultimate Hinkley special to go out on, either way.

Also the Hawks have an easy couple games too. If we drop one we probably need bulldogs to drop their last game against GWS.

Freo need to beat gws this week I think too. Gws need 2 losses but hope their % maintains higher than ours. To grab the spot above us

Long shot I know but stranger things

 

[chiwigi]

If only there was a term for a mini grand final.

Maybe try ‘final’?

Maybe try harder during the season and play a real one?

 

[Alberton Proud]

If we drop this then we'll also lose to Freo

How many lives does the cat have left

If anyone else said that, they'd be blocked from the site.

Nah, I'd just assume I'm not the only one who uses irony without emojis

Finals don't generally involve teams sitting 15th.

Maybe the should go with the start of their preseason.

Guess I have someone to boo Saturday night. A flog of the highest order. I have all of my teeth and far more functioning brain cells than this flog.

Prison Bar design actually based on smiles of Port Adelaide fans

As the battle between Port Adelaide and Collingwood around who owns vertical monochrome stripes continues, football historians have discovered that...

Now I really want up to put that sob in his place.

I think Sweet vs ROB will be the most critical matchup
Their mids only look good against us cause ROB has killed it

Last showdown they kicked 12.6, including 5.0 in the first
We kicked 5.18, including 1.7 in the last qtr
We won the clearances & inside 50s by 10 & contested possessions by 14

They played a short possession game & clogged up the corridor & space around ruck contests & really only looked capable of scoring on a fast break from a turnover or occasional centre clearance

I'm damn proud to have only 9 teeth.

At least you know we're up for a fight and won't squib marks! Oops
