Who should come in? Who's out?

 

[timokane]

back to earth for the blues tipping port by 14 points

 

[SC_Power]

Hoping that the Blues “dead cat bounce” is done, and Port bring 4 quarters of effort rather than just 3.

 

[JackFlash]

Blues could win two on the trot? i'll give them this one by 15 points

 

[Arr0w]

A much better test this week after the dead cat bounce

 

[voorhees]

interesting clash...
blues with nothing to lose but to release the shackles and go all out.
Power just have to win this one

 

[Del233519]

Port by 20.

 

[WhyAmIHere]

The Walker/Cochrane cup. Win this and the aligned player will cost an extra pick.

Carlton habits are hard to break, so Port by plenty considering Jordan Bannister

The Walker/Cochrane cup. Win this and the aligned player will cost an extra pick.

Carlton habits are hard to break, so Port by plenty considering Jordan Bannister is not there to play as the 19th man.

This will be like the infamous Caribbean Cup soccer tournament in 1994.

The final group stage game between Barbados and Grenada, Barbados had to win by 2 goals to qualify. They led 2-1 with a few minutes to play, so they deliberately scored an own goal to go 2-2 and to extra time thereby giving themselves an extra 30 minutes to get 2 goals.
This resulted in an farcical situation where Grenada tried to score in both goals for the last three minutes of regular time. Either outcome (3–2 win, or 2–3 loss) would have advanced them to the finals, while Barbados had to defend both goals. Which they did successfully.
Game went to extra time, and Barbados won 4-2 and qualified for the final.

I wouldn't put it past Port Adelaide to let this one slip in W/C Cup...

 

[Cam Payne]

Who knows, by 20 points.

 

[Xtreme]

JHF is going to have Carlton for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Port Adelaide by 80.

 

[voorhees]

congrats to Butters on game #150
built himself into a hell of a player

 

[voorhees]

Carr needs this win as much as his club does.
Pt Adel - 10-20p

 

[timokane]

Blues up by 12 points at half time but loses it at full time by 20 points

 

[SC_Power]

Carr needs this win as much as his club does.
Pt Adel - 10-20p

Interesting take, Josh Carr has ticked quite a few boxes in his first 10 games, I’d have thought.

Maybe getting the team over the line in a close game would be good.

’ 150th game by having every 2027 season ticket reallocated as a “celebratory milestone” ticket with Zak to get 100% of all ticket pricing paid outside of the salary cap.

Of course, only payable if he re-signs.

 

[Chism]

7 players under 12 games tonight in the starting 22. Be interesting how we go and regardless of ladder positions Port are never easy to beat at home.

 

[joe444]

Whyyyyy are we constantly forced to endure Carlton in standalone prime timeslots?

 

[TheUnicorn]

I really dig the port guernsey

 

[Chism]

Whyyyyy are we constantly forced to endure Carlton in standalone prime timeslots?

Your TV not have a channel change button?

It is a Port home game.

Why not structure your sentence to hang shit on Port??

That does not suit your agenda though, so blame us is much easier ya clown!

 

[underthestars]

not sure i'd be keen to have my players sucking in smoke just before kickofff.
