So are we gonna roll over and die again this week?

 

[Power & Proud]

We better bloody not. If we lose this, I'll be ********ed!

So are we gonna roll over and die again this week?

Probably. Im not confident at all now of winning any match until basically the final siren. Youve gotta expect Brisbane to come out hard. I think they could go up maybe another two gears and I dont think we could go with them if they do lift. I still think Brisbane will win.

 

[Macca19]

Here we go, third quarter.

Johnson marks from a Sherman kick inside 50. 30 out, slight angle. Bad miss.

Tredrea big mark 40 out, tight angle. Tough shot on goal. Hits the post.

P 8.9
B 6.4

 

[Magpiespower]

Fair to say that we've had most of the play?

But should be further in front?

 

[Macca19]

Chad marks again. Will kick from 50. Pulls it.

P 8.10
B 6.5

Bradshaw leads and marks, 45 out on the boundary line. Just missed

P 8.10
B 6.6

 

[Magpiespower]

What's with Tredders' kicking for goal tonight?

1.4 and counting...

 

[Macca19]

I dont think weve had more of the play. Just made less errors. Brisbane have had more of it this quarter.

Chad marks...60 out...finds the leading Tredrea, 20 metres closer on the same 40 degree angle. Gotta kick it Warren. Misses

P 8.11
B 6.6

Corrie marks uncontested 30 out in front. Terrible terrible kick. Almost out on the full.

P 8.11
B 6.7

Tredrea gets a free on the goalline for a push in the back. Goals.

P 9.11
B 6.7

 

[The Hobo]

Tredrea

 

[Macca19]

Brogan a big mark 5 metres out....will get put on a tight angle. Gotta kick it....come on Deano. Missed

P 9.12
B 6.7

Good quarter again. Tight, slow football that quarter. Played well, extended the lead to 23 points. Tredrea and Cornes played well, Chaplin was strong. Im still not confident but we are in a good position to win this game. Brisbane again made too many errors...slipping over, poor kicks, dropped marks.

COME ON PORT!!!!

 

[Power & Proud]

23 points up at 3 quarter time. Let's Go POWER!!!!!!!!

 

[spookism]

Well, up to 3 quarter time we are doinf well. We must keep it up though, no more fade outs or we are done.

C. Cornes is playing very well, as is Tredders. Mahoney is playing a ripper of a game, hope he keeps it up.

BTW is there any chance of us getting a trade for Drummond next year?

 

[Magpiespower]

22 point lead at three-quarter time.

Anyone nervous?

 

[The Hobo]

well remember what hapend in round 2...39 points up, only to win by 2..

choco should remind the players of that, so that they keep the foot on the accelerator the whole game

Leigh matthews will surely fire his troops up..their season is on the line

 

[Sheeds]

If we kick the first goal this quarter it would take a huge effort to manage to lose.

 

[jasnik]

Chad playing up forward is really stretching Brisbane. Pity he can't kick straight or more than 40 metres. Port's defence is generally pretty tight, much better than the Lions'. Bish one on one with Bradshaw is the only real weakness (surprise). Shaun - BOG once more so far.

 

[jasnik]

Can someone please measure the widths of those posts - surely they are above regulation width?

 

[Macca19]

Here we go.....the quarter that will decide our season. Come on Port.

JOsh Mahoney hits the post...could have been the nail....

P 9.13
B 6.7

Stuey Dew finds Kane with a 60 metre pass. 40 out, slight angle. Come on Kane. GOALS IT!!!!

P 10.13
B 6.7

COME ON PORT!!!!!

 

[Sheeds]

For the gametime he has had, Salopek has played a blinder.

 

[Macca19]

Geez....10 chances to kick a goal then....Shaun ends up spraying one wide.

P 10.14
B 6.7

Sherman marks, 10 metres out basically on the boundary. Will be a tough kick. On the full.

Sherman knees the ball thru...was going thru anyway....behind.

P 10.14
B 6.8

 

[Magpiespower]

Surely not even we can lose this one from here.

Can we?
