Join myself and Portia as we preview the crucial match against Essendon, live from 8pm at https://www.spreaker.com/user/portfanradio

Ask the questions, we'll give the answers

 

[Eddie Dingle]

If we have more guns than Essendon that guarantees us the win right?

 

[Us against the rest]

When will Palmer get a run of 3 or 4 games so we can see where he is really at ?

 

[missionpossible]

Is this the most pivotal game of the season for us

 

[BIG DADDY]

Is Butterfish made from butter

 

[BIG DADDY]

In our present form are we capable of beating GWS, Cats or the Crows in an away final

 

[Janus]

What is the best tactic for black to combat the Ruy Lopez aka the Spanish in chess? Marshall attack - sacrificing a pawn for position to force weakness to the white's kingside, or Morphy defence - forcing white to make a decision as to whether they want to sacrifice a bishop for a knight and swap material?

Now, correlate that to our gameplan - what is the best tactic for the opposition to combat our gameplan? Sacrifice a defender/midfielder to force weakness in our defence by adding another forward to their attack, or dropping another player into our forward line to draw that +1 out and 'swap material'?

 

[Pommie power]

Mentioned it on the board the other day, like to know if you think it would work.
Jacko to take hoffs role as the flota /ruck, Todd/eddy to come in as the forward ?

 

[Us against the rest]

If Ryder has to miss a game or two, what is Ken's plan B ?

 

[Hammer#8]

What is most likely to occur in the game against Essendon?

a) commentators barracking for Essendon to win if we're any more than 1 point north of their score
b) Dixon or Robbie manhandled and scragged and overlooked for multiple free kicks
c) Impey using the slice 9 iron and kicking more behinds than goals
d) One of Dixon, Robbie or Ryder booed by the home crowd
e) All of the above

 

[OneGreatClub]

Uh oh Toump's still in. What will Portia say?

 

[PAFC66]

Uh oh Toump's still in. What will Portia say?

Everything she said was right.

I don't get it.

 

[PAFC66]

If Ryder has to miss a game or two, what is Ken's plan B ?

I've never seen a Ken plan B untill this year...

Lol at Macca and Portia not realising this question was literal.

 

[El Zorro]

The title of this thread is exactly why I am worried. When was the last time this group of players and coaches won a "must-win" game?

 

[Sleezy]

Round 8.

 

[El Zorro]

Round 8.

Must win due to the nature of the opponent and/or relevance to the club's aspirations in terms of ladder position at the end of the season.

 

[missionpossible]

7-4 v 6-5

I know it is only one win difference but it can release some pressure and gets us a gap on the pack for the 8.

[QPower]

Apparently at 6-4 we needed a wake up call.

If that is so after failing against the Crows, GWS, WCE and Geelong , heads need to roll.
