Talk football, live the excitement

 

[Drunkcat]

Well done Port you guys played a very good game tonight should have won by 10 goals.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Are Port starting to turn the corner? I wonder if Carr is starting to get them clicking.

Port played a extremely high risk style tonight plenty of turnovers with one handball to many but Geelong were so poor they were not able to punish on the turnover.

Their ball movement was electric tonight and they tackled like they were possessed.

Cats looked flat as a tack but Port's structure was brilliant. The opposite of what you'd get with Hinkley

 

[Greasyrhys]

Unexpected, but great performance. I’m sure Carr has us on the right track.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Thanks for coming Geelong. The arrogance of a lot of the Geelong board prior to the game makes it that little bit sweeter.

The cats still won the only stat their fans care about - the free kick count. So they'll be still pretty happy with themselves.

We're pretty used to that as an 'interstate' (the ****?) club.

 

[WhyAmIHere]

We just might never lose again?!?!?

 

[RCAB]

We just might never lose again?!?!?

We'll definitely lose another game or two, but I can't see why we can't have a 21-3 season this year. Obviously not likely, but maybe not as unlikely as it usually seems.

 

[loopy0812]

Cats losing to the pretenders WoW even Port fan will admit they no good.

Hinkley was very good at building relationships with players but had no idea tactically. Carr is much better tactically but will take time to build that rapport and trust from the players.

Suspect Port will scare a few sides come end of the year. This isn't as big an upset as people would have you believe.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Ports last 2 weeks have been good.

Not a team to take lightly.

Showdown next week should be good.

I have a feeling Port will pump us.

Carr looks like a reasonable coach and his game plan looks like it's finally clicking.

 

[voorhees]

very impressive display and a hugely satisfying win for Pt.Adel.
Should have buried them by even more if they had kicked more gettable goals.

 

[SA HAWK]

I have a feeling Port will pump us.

Their last 2 games have certainly been a lot better than the first handful.

Race to be the underdog.

Adelaide topped the H&A ladder last year. Played very well on a difficult fixture to date.
How can you not be confident of winning next week?

We've mostly been bog average this year thanks to our coach and his risk-adverse gameplan.

You obviously started very poorly, but it's pretty evident that Carr's game plan is going and is getting the best out of everyone there. JHF looks like he'll finally develop into the elite player we all knew he was capable of being.

Are Port starting to turn the corner? I wonder if Carr is starting to get them clicking.

[Duckimus Prime]

Carr's game plan and control of the ball has worked really well against 2 very organised defenses for two weeks in a row, so hopefully we can deny the Crows the ability to slingshot as they flood back.

 

[GoPies1]

People don't have Geelong as a top side yet. I think we'd still need to beat a contender(s) (Brisbane/GC/Sydney/Fremantle in future fixtures) before that changes.

The Port, NM and Collingwood games all loom as banana peels before then - if we get through those unscathed we'd be in a decent position.

You didn’t include the hawks in your list of contenders
They are probably the favourites in my opinion
Beaten swans, gc and the cats with a negative 12 free kick effort by the umpires.
Great backline, power forwards
Midfielder -1 is their only short fall

 

[PowerBaz]

Ports last 2 weeks have been good.

Showdown next week should be good.

Glad we can watch it on free to air…. Oops sorry that’s Bulldogs Freo game. So arguably a ripping game of footy the whole country should watch is hidden away in subscription TV on a double up evening. The AFL and Dillon are the most useless organisation going.

 

[voorhees]

was impressed with j Sweet.
Big strong lad who plays with some aggression and not afraid to get involved in scoring

 

[PerthBoy86]

We beat Port at AO and they thrash Geelong there...it just goes to show the gap between sides is smaller than ever (besides basically a couple). I still think Port are a bottom 6 side, but they are at least showing some fight.

 

[shaqsuns]

Another cat shat himself

We'll definitely lose another game or two, but I can't see why we can't have a 21-3 season this year. Obviously not likely, but maybe not as unlikely as it usually seems.

I got the Hawks only losing 4. Like Adelaide last year, they have been kissed on the dick with the draw

 

[hammo24]

Geelong are so much better with Dangerfield in the team.

When is he due back?

Lol the days of “danger is out” are over

that guy is well and truly cooked
