Game Day PAFC v West Coast, Metricon Stadium

[glitch01]

Couldn't see a Match-day thread from the usual suspects!!
Thought I'd take the opportunity to start my first ever thread.....

Important game.
Win this one and the media may start to see us as the real deal this year. Lose and it's just more of the same.

My buddy Ebo has his 250th - hopefully we do the right thing and win it for him.

Port by 17 points in a tough game
Dixon to kick 4 and Rozee to come back from his quiet game last week.

Oh.....and Ebo to be wearing a head bandage by the end!!

 

[GremioPower]

Port by 119!

 

[Leaveit2charlie]

Ollie to back up last week.
Charlie to kick 5
Comfortable win.

 

[Kingfish73]

Port by 27 or West Coast by 2 points

Rozee and Gray to explode

Good luck Ebo on 2 fitty

Feels like the new universe is setting up a west coast win today, hopefully we pull out a win

20C partly cloudy, light winds.
Great weather. Should be a pearler.
I think we get the W.

 

[Capital Power]

The confidence is definitely up this year, as Rick and Macca said in the preview podcast we are able to absorb momentum going the other way, which is a big change from last year.

My worry is the defence may be undersized against their talls. Locking the ball forward would be a good counter for that.

I think we get the win, by 2-3 goals. Can see this being a bit of an arm wrestle despite the perfect weather. We have a few guys looking for a big game, I think our midfield wins it.

 

[Macca19]

West Coast by 4 points

 

[Capital Power]

West Coast by 4 points

YES!!

It will be a battle of the midfield and turnovers. When West Coast get the ball, they will try and keep the ball in the air. They will continue to try and out mark us. Win it in the midfield and keep turnovers to a minimum.

Great opportunity to put an early gap on us and the rest. Here's hoping Ebo's 250th is memorable for all the right reasons.

Go Ports!

Last year or so we were the team that turned flailing teams fortunes around but I am hoping we a very different Port this year.

 

[Loyal2Port]

Still can't trust us yet, as much as I would like to. Need another team effort, want to struggle to name best players at the end, all play well.

- Is it my 30th birthday? Check.
- Is it a milestone game for one of our guys? Check.
- Are we at the top of the ladder with a chance to go a game clear of everyone else? Check.

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Can’t allow ourselves to start slow again or may be too hard to catch up against a team like wce. Let’s kick the first goal for a change this week!

 

[El Zorro]

West Coast by 4 points

Thanks, I was feeling a bit nervous.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Power Boom is running at Caulfield at 2.10pm. Ken, Rocky and Lycett might be distracted at quater time!

No excuses, no stupid superstitions.

I want to see the boys play ruthless football to win this for Brad.
He bloody well deserves it.

 

[Smithy7]

Last time we played West Coast in Perth

 

[Chokito]

Well today should be an interesting day to work in the Western suburbs of Perth. I’ll have my pie and a Carlton zero from the IGA next door... it will be like I’m at the game
Just get the job done lads, farkn.

It’s vital we win the contested possessions. They have been poor in that stat in the hub and the blow torch will be on them in this regard.
WC 115 GC 137
WC 118 BL 133

We have been excellent in the contest against largely poor opposition.
PA 138 AD 119
PA 130 FR 107

If the average continues, PA 134 WC 117, we win.
