The Eagles suck!

Terrible band.

I have a feeling Port will win.
There is always at least one finals upset and with the favourite winning both games so far, along with Port having a good record as underdog under Hinkley you just get the feeling they'll win this and lose the preliminary final against Melbourne or Carlton.

Having said that, Port have done well to get this far given they have glaring holes in the list so credit needs to go to Hinkley for getting the best out of them.

Melbourne were favourites.

Hopefully Kenny will explain why they are worshipping atomic bombs before the bounce tonight

Adelaide must be a dull place to live if the only theme inspiration you can draw is building the atomic bomb to massacre the Japanese people.

Melbourne were favourites.

I was going to say this. Dees were favourites so technically an upset

City of churches? I don't blame him for thinking that way.

Not sure I can handle a shoot out like that.

I like Port. They can play some great footy.

That said, Brisbane at the Gabba and finals pressure does funny things.

Lions will strike early and land early blows putting Port behind the eight ball.

Brisbane to kick the winning score. 34 points.

You'll hear the mighty roar (of the crowd at the end)

Just got a feeling Port will win this.

No rational or logic at all, just funny feeling.

Should be a cracking entertaining game though. Can't wait !

Port in a canter Brisbane to kick 6-20

Yep the team that is most accurate in front of goal will win - Melbourne and Sydney would be filthy with themselves right now!
That said you have to wonder is all of the "tactical" game plans that they work on executing during the week getting in the way of basic fundamentals such as taking set shots for goal.

Gunners would have kicked 5 tonight ffs

We dull it down when you are here to make sure you don't stay.

Stop jinxing us

Melbourne were favourites.

Shouldn’t have been but were to some. Melbourne were not going to win with all those inclusions in comparison to the last game. Only major thing benefiting them was that Daicos was out.

I think the most likely upset is the Saints vs GWS game but even that won’t happen. I think first week will be pretty predictable.

Do you think Hinkley deserves credit for getting the best out of a Port list with glaring holes?
Add in Grundy, Ratugolea plus Horne-Francis after a full pre season and Port will be primed to go all the way in 2024.

Sure.

I don’t rate Grundy. Ratugolea will be a great pick up for them. They are going places.

Look I’d give them more chance if the game was played at AO. It’s at the Gabba though so don’t see it happening.

 

[Elixuh]

Off to the game. Good luck to the atomic bomb worshipping supporters, let’s hope for an entertaining contest! Port a very explosive team!

Hopefully port fans don’t go nuclear if they don’t get the win!
