If the Crows are really, really smart then they’ll let us win this one so that Hinkley can remain longer.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

OUT: Mead, Evans, Sweet, Finlayson, Berry.

IN: Jackson, Sinn, Visentini, Whitlock, Moraes (sub)

I also think Rioli is gonna get suspended for an off the ball incident which means Berry survives the axe.

 

[JimmyBC]

Who cares really lol

 

[TazD]

Gonna get smashed in the PBs again

 

[Powertron]

Back to back 90pt losses would surely do it…surely???

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Out: Sweet, Esava, Berry, Mead
In: Visentini, BZT, Jackson, Whitlock

Debating to go one further with one of DBJ or Powell Pepper out for Boak.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Trial by media for Rioli unfortunately. Fcuk [PLAYERCARD]Ben Dixon[/PLAYERCARD].

 

[backtozero]

Put your house on the Crows.

 

[StueyDaDew]

Is this Ports (Kenny’s) GF lol…

 

[Ported]

 

[RangaInTeal]

Out: Mead, Finlayson, Berry, Sweet
In: Jackson, Whitlock, Sinn, Visintini

 

[EskimoPAFC]

100 points might just be what it takes to get the club to pull the plug?

 

[RossFC]

IN: Boak, Sinn, Visentini, Jackson, Whitlock, Atkins
OUT: Mead, Berry, Sweet, Rioli (suspended), Lord, Finlayson

Atkins sub

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

I wonder if Port will ever explore SPP as an centre bounce mid again? He does have offer some physicality and bite despite his limitations.

He had some good moments in the middle today with his physicality.

You know that he will at least make the oppositions players earn their footy with his attack on the ball and tackle hard which our mids can’t seem to do.

+100 point loss coming up, a first for the Showdown. Can't imagine what's going to happen on Port Road, Alberton Sunday morning.

He was part of our midfield rotation in 2020 and was pretty good but they've seemed to prefer him as a forward since then. As a forward I think he's very scrappy and kills a lot of promising plays with his fumbles and dropped marks (this is true of most of our forwards to be fair).

 

[Willsy10]

based on todays efforts we will lose this one easily but you just don’t know what you are going to get with port. Everyone thought we would get smashed by hawthorn too but we were 12 goals up against them halfway through the second quarter.

Such is the emotional response nature of this team, getting smashed today probably helps our chances.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Doesn't Atkins have to play to win the game with a goal after the siren?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

It's actually really hard to care seeing as they don't.

But I would like to see Visentini and Jackson in, and like davesnothere even though I don't think Whitlock is ready, I wouldn't be mad if he was picked.

If Benny Barrett has a couple more 20+ possession games, bring him in. In a couple of weeks though.

 

[PAFC66]

Can we not wear the prison bars this week. It's embarrassing and we are pus in them anyway

 

[Coobk001]

Put your house on the Crows by 50+.

They'll just clog our scoring and smash our poor defensive structure on the counter.

Will get very ugly. We're an absolute rabble. Today was not just an expected loss, it was again an absolute capitulation. When things aren't going our way, you cant just help but feel that these sorts of losses are coming, and it is happening more and more regularly. If theres 1 team thatd thrive off the potential to cause such a result and our fade outs it'll be the Crows.

Its not even about how good they are, just how shit we are.

 

[RossFC]

Doesn't sit right with me that we only wear the Prison Bars vs Crows. Would rather it be in ANZAC round vs someone else.

 

[all seeing eye]

Depends which port turns up, being a systemless group we rely on energy from emotion. Normally you know pretty early if we are on.
