Preview BL vs Port Adelaide - Rd 7 - Sat @6:55

[AwwThatsApples]

Tough to get a read on this game.

I think Port’s triple threat forward line is functioning better, but if Port can’t at least match it in the middle, it won’t matter.

Even without Neade, they are still very dangerous.

Yes, they will NEADE some help without the bolting small forward.

Hmmm the weather makes me nervous, much harder to predict a winner in those sort of conditions.
Rocky and SPP make a lot of sense in those conditions but so does Drew.

I am not worried at all ... I live up here and have a good idea on how to read the weather report. We have a forecast of 80% chance of showers ... SHOWERS - Not rain. That means somewhere in the greater Brisbane area there is an 80% chance of a shower occurring. Big deal, it will be no different to a dewy night here at the Gabba.

Now if it changes to STORMS, or to RAIN, being forecast, then I would say be a little concerned.

I'm gonna fly up for this, any idea on tickets? Should be fine at the gate? Ring the club?

We win and we win comfortably.

They're the only team we haven't beaten since the start of last year.

Just on this, because I love random stats, if we do win that would mean the team we have beaten least recently is actually the Gold Coast SUNS ... and the team they have beaten least recently is Port Adelaide! Get your head around that. Surely this would be a first in VFL/AFL history.

I read this afternoon that Bonner is ready to return, but despite playing well in round 1 against North, surely he has to wait until a spot opens up for him.

We could just about end their premiership campaign on Saturday night, and I think we will.

Ports by more than 0

I'll tweet sirswampthing and ask if it happens

Nice! Seems like the sort of thing Swamp on Twitter would be all over.

With Neale out who we terrorising this time round?

Still Neale. Sutcliffe has a chance of breaking even this time.

Yep, and in any case not sure the Brisbane game is the best one to bring him back in for, given the predicted weather.

Surely Hipwood doesn't get his usual bag this time around. I think we should win this especially with Neale out who always tears us a new one.

 

[Chokito]

We will want blood for last year.

Aliir will win us a flag etc etc

If hipwood plays his best game of the year against us for the 3rd or 4th time in a row I’ll spew

i'd go as far as saying his best 3-4 games of his career have been against Port

He is an average at best footballer who for some reason against us plays like a superstar

 

[CrimsonRaven]

I'm just gonna tip Brisbane and have no expectations. Honestly we should be favourites, but beating Brisbane at the Gabba at anytime is a tough ask. Just dont capitulate like we did against Wet Toast please.

We have Aliir Aliir

The cow supporting idiots are already saying how lucky (again) we are that he isn't playing..
They are mentioning how we always play teams missing their stars

We'll win and all we'll hear about is how Brisbane were missing Neale.

I think Brisbane are significantly weaker with Martin being traded to the Bulldogs. Last year they got on top in the middle and we couldn't stop the tide. The threat of Martin/McInerney against Lycett all day is now gone, and I think Lycett is levels above McInerney. If Lycett can continue his form into this game he should give our mids first use which is a big key at the Gabba.

Without Neale and around the ground I feel we are stronger so time we went up there and proved it. A big challenge but one I feel our side is more then up for.

Who cares what they have to say.......didn't realise we were playing them so their opinion as it is 99.9% of the time is irrelevant

 

[robbo1981]

I think Brisbane win this and that's not the end of the world.
If we have any really sore boys leave them at home to freshen up use our depth .
This probably should be in the unpopular thread lol.
