Preview Good Friday football - Port Adelaide v West Coast Eagles @ Optus Stadium

[Willsy10]

We are in trouble.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Quite frankly it's a disgrace that a football game would be played on Good Friday, the most holy of days. Out of respect the game should be called off and each side awarded two premiership points.

 

[5um0F1]

Irrelevant poll - there'll be no winning goal after the siren this time, because the Eagles will put the game out of our reach before half time.

I genuinely think it will be over by 1/4 time, I predict a 10 goal to zip start followed by lots pants down, no lube activity..

sigh

 

[5um0F1]

How tall is it?

5 foot 4, it will be our new full foward

 

[Far Kern]

If you can get odds on Port scoring four goals or less take it. The best organised team in the League against the worst.

s**t I'd settle for them getting the full 4 points and us just losing no percentage

 

[RossFC]

only 38 hinkley games to go

38? Isn't he contracted for 2021 too?

 

[Willsy10]

I'm going to take the Richmond fan approach and predict that we are very unlikely to get within 300 points of West Coast.

 

[DazzaTys]

Eagles to kick a record score at Optus, Kennedy and Darling to celebrate 20 each with gaff getting taken to the Royal Perth Hospital with legitimate leather poisoning from his 75 possessions. Port to have a record number of inside 50s though with 3 goals kicked from SGRAY in stoppage time in the 4th.....Houston, we have a problem.

 

[dirty2]

Ports to come out and smash west coast and hinkley lovers to tell us we are wrong and we should have more faith.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I'm expecting a rise from the dead analogy from at least one commentator on Friday night.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

If Ken picks Marshall, then I want the Hoff to tag McGovern.

If Ken is going to play Hoff as a KFP, we know he is bloody average in that position, then his job should be to tag McGovern out of the game.

If Hoff does that, then he has officially played every possible position in the game and qualifies as the best utility ever.

Sportsbet have Port at $4.25
And pay out if you’re up by 12 at any break...

ye-naaah

They should save that one for Easter Sunday, no?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

They should save that one for Easter Sunday, no?

Yes they should, but they aren't that smart.

Plus I don't think I am going to hear, they were nailed tonight, like Christ was on this day 2,000 years ago,

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Bit of a reminder why not to play into his hands. Might be a late bloomer but who really gives a s**t about that.

It is the Easter ROUND! It doesn't matter when the games are.
For instance, I would like to see the Maggies CRUCIFYING Norwood on Thursday...

 

[OneGreatClub]

They should save that one for Easter Sunday, no?

I’m sure they could bring in ‘crucified’ to the commentary somewhere.
Don’t think it would go down well though. Is Eddie calling the game?

 

[EskimoPAFC]

I drafted Andrew Gaff in my draft fantasy league so I hope he gets a lot of useless kicks and marks and feels really bad about who he is as a person and that getting your high school principal in as a character reference is the most pathetic thing an AFL footballer has done in living memory.

If Ken picks Marshall, then I want the Hoff to tag McGovern.

If Hoff does that, then he has officially played every possible position in the game and qualifies as the best utility ever.

Tagging McGovern is BS.

You need to accentuate his weaknesses and make him worry about us.

We need a tall marking threat who can run him ragged.

I agree with playing Hoff on him but not to tag him but to run him into the ground and take uncontested mark after uncontested mark.

Not so much up the ground as McGovern won't follow but continually running into dangerous positions where McGovern is forced to follow.

Just get into dangerous positions and repeat lead after repeat lead.

Exactly, isolate his weaknesses.

AJ did a great job on him last year as we was way to fast for him and the pace had McGovern worried.

 

[El_Scorcho]

You don't need to tag McGovern, just make him accountable.

The fact that we should be playing Marshall should be half the battle, but we just need to control the aerial battle and make McGovern feel like he has to defend. None of this bombing high balls in when we're not setup for them.
