Yeah you're right, I'm probably just remembering chocolate. Some ordinary quotes here: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/port-adelaide-have-grand-final-swagger-20070929-gdr80v.htmlI don't remember the club being like that. I certainly remember Choco being like that though.
We had a huge wave of momentum in August/September 2007.
We beat Hawthorn and Geelong in back to back weeks with literally the last kick of the game in both games. We then beat Freo to secure 2nd spot and a home QF by finishing only a small amount of percentage ahead of West Coast, largely due to Scott Lucas kicking 6 goals in the last quarter against West Coast. In the QF we came from well behind to beat West Coast and then we smashed North in the PF.
Even though it all turned out to be the biggest false economy of all time, we had built a massive amount of momentum and confidence in the lead up to that GF and it almost seemed like nothing could go wrong for us.
I'm fine with Razor. He's an annoying little campaigner but he's actually quite a good umpire. Just needs to shut the fu** up every now and then.
Hopefully he goes nuts on Thursday tooRocky is gonna go nuts this weekend
That’s it in a nutshell start good kick straight we win.If we kick 2 quick goals at the beginning, that will go a long way in us winning the game. We haven’t been very good at chasing deficits but we’ve been good at staying in front
I'm concerned about (among other things) our inability to play 4 decent quality quarters. In almost all our games we've had a couple of poor, scrappy quarters where we've barely scored. Not likely to get away with that from now on.That’s it in a nutshell start good kick straight we win.
With Port it really is that easy to predict.
Looking at today’s game you don’t need to play the old four quarter stuff.I'm concerned about (among other things) our inability to play 4 decent quality quarters.

With the shorter quarters one good 15 minute burst can do it.
Teams win now going goalless or maybe one goal in a quarter.
In the old days you had no hope of winning a game going goalless but this is a different game sadly.
