Game Day 2020 Preliminary Final vs Port Adelaide, 7.50pm

[Soberian Tiger]

Finished on top by percentage only.

Lost to the Lions and Cats

No side in the last 6 years has won a flag and minor premiership

With Richmond only 6 points and a bit of percentage behind. Had Richmond's fixture been blessed with the home ground advantage Port received, they would likely have finished on top.

And that's even with a shorter season and shorter games.

 

[Phar Ace]

Disagree. The cats and ditto the hawks when they went on their run, had really no competition outside of 4 clubs. We on the other hand have to come up against realistically 8 sides that could win it, so the competition is a lot harder. To be able to do that as consistently as we have, ala we have won more games then anyone else the last 3 years while making 4 PF with 2 GF wins, is right up there.

If we win the GF in a covid year, when interstate clubs have had all the advantages while we have had our team 100 plus days away from home, no home ground advantage, not being able to train at there own club, as well having to win it while beating teams at there home grounds......no club has had that disadvantage and this flag is worth 2 flags for me

Classic Team of Champions v Champion Team. That Geelong squad had sensational players, more than we have. They would probably beat us on most days that they all played well. Our squad have better team play and rely on that freak of connection that we get quite often because of that connection. Our average-to-bad is more average-to-bad than theirs I think

Totaly agree. And Port have been good, no doubt about it, but no chance have they been a standout.
Going to be an awesome challenge for us.

We have taken your slops ? Get f’ed mate. Now I know its been 6 years since your last final and it has gone right to your heads but boy oh boy have you all not built this up so bloody high. God I will just piss myself watching your gnashing of teeth if you lose. It was just 7 months ago you blokes had a 200 page thread wanting Ken removed.

Watch that get bumped tonight.

So bloody nervous and pessimistic about this game... then again, I always am!
Working tonight, driving all over the Eastern Suburbs, probably have a stack!

 

[Lightning_Rod]

Is that the Adelaide CBD?

It wasnt but this is, still drizzling.

We lost 2 games and had a draw when we were still playing in Victoria. We were never likely to finish top after the way we started the season, even if we got a home ground advantage at some stage.

Must win game I think

What if we loose?

 

[Barnard]

I’m of the belief that if we play 4 quarters we win anywhere-anytime, but to be honest I think we have probably only had 2-3 4 quarter performances all year. It’s now Go Time, the dream is to silence the crowd early and make the most of momentum when we have it, create doubt and they will fold.

 

[Lsta062]

I’m excited for tonight’s game! C’mon boys, get this win for the 3rd Grand Final appearance in 4 years!

What if we loose?

Would be end of our flag chances this year imo

 

[Charlie Pannam]

We never make late changes but if it’s really wet would consider bringing in Caddy. Big body could be handy in the wet forward and mid

Currently pissing down View attachment 986839

Vyvyan agrees

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

What happens on gameday stays on gameday

Thats what my golfing mate says about our golf game.lol

 

[DontArgue4]

Big call but you could be right

Classic 8 point game

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

This is why I can't stand that campaigner Dan26 with his sanctimonious list of best premiers that always shits me, because he puts the Bombres on top every time.

In 2000 Essendon dominated but it was one of those weak years when everyone else was sh*t and Melbourne fell into the GF from the other side of the draw. I honestly reckon Hawks circa 1988 were probably the best i've seen, and Brisbane were incredible in 01-03. Even some of those Carlton brown paper bag flag teams were powerhouses.

I guarantee that the w***er will put this year's flag at the very bottom of the list, even below the WWI flags when there were only 4 teams competing.

Is he still around?

What if we loose?

We need to be tight

 

[kozi]

Nothing against Marlion but Caddy should have been in over him.

 

[Rubber Hips]

Thought as much...it’s pissing down

...good call re Chol by Dimma...reckon if it was dru we would have gone with Marbs ...

all our players smalls in particular need to be clean by hand and foot

Absolutely this... was just saying the same thing to my old man.
