Game Day Port v Collingwood

[TeeKray]

Here we go again. Penultimate game of the H&A season, lots to play for. Collingwood attempting to secure their first finals berth since 2013, Port trying desperately to keep our heads above water in season 2018.

Expectations are suitably low for this one, especially after our forward line broke his leg last week. Nobody knows what our avenue to goal looks like. Ken seemed to think this was a good thing but I'm less convinced.

I'm tipping Collingwood by eleventy.

Watching it with my Collingwood mate while eating pizza but that's the only good thing about the day.

Hard to see us being anything other than dog s**t . I'm not even sure if winning is good for our future.

Such a odd game and season

 

[RossFC]

How long will Ryder last?

1 quarter $10
2 quarters $2.10
3 quarters $1.75
4 quarters $40

 

[ROBBBO]

I'm strangely confident
I'm also dog dumb at footy tipping

 

[Magus]

Anything could happen. I have no idea what to expect.

 

[Ports1870]

Biggest H&A match in years. Working so won’t get to watch it (possibly a blessing). Port by 5.

 

[blaargh]

I'm going. I also went to Port vs Mel 17, Port vs Carl 16, Port vs Carl 15.

*Pray 4 ports

 

[Visenfest]

Collingwood will get the jump on us in a similar manner to how Essendon do. We'll be down by around 50 early in the 2nd quarter. We'll peg it back slightly over the rest of the match, but Collingwood will keep us at bay and win by 32 points.

 

[Magpiespower]

Ports by 5pts or Pies by 47pts, either way...

 

[StuMan]

Another "unlucky" loss coming up.

 

[GremioPower]

Port v Magpies: the worst enemy is one's own self

 

[raptalia]

I am not confident but I am not all doom and gloom either.

The key to this game is our much vaunted midfield. We need Wines, Wingard, Polec, Motlop and Rockliff to play at their top together. It would be nice if one of these guys could have a 40+ possession game for a change. To achieve this we will probably need Ryder getting first hand to the ball which may or may not happen.

Dixon's injury is a blow as he usually plays well against Collingwood but he has not been the model of consistency this year. If Watts can fire up and Ken gets the structure right we may kick a high enough score to win. Yeah right, I think I have convinced myself we cannot win.

So for this weeks game I’m in Munich.
Currently at a beer hall and I’m thinking that I’m not going to be awake at 545am....

Anyway have a funny feeling we might fall over the line.
Sam Gray to score a match winning 4 goals.
Hoping that somehow Frampton comes in late and we either play Ryder mostly forward or not at all.

Today has to be for those who are seeing their opportunities slip away, such as Boak, Westhoff, Ebert and Robbie Gray.
It also has to be for Jay Schulz and J-Mac, we still owe them one.

Play like there is no other option but to win today.
No fear, no second guessing.
Not for us, for yourselves. And for them.
It has to be today.

 

[KenOath]

Season on the line so the smart money is on a third heartbreaking loss on the trot. Pies by under 6.

 

[scottjr]

Tottenham 2 Fulham 0.

 

[Macca19]

We are getting thrashed today

 

[DuckToaster]

Good luck today guys, nothing better than Saturday afternoon footy! Hopefully we both make it through without any injuries. I'm really nervous about this one. The football gods owe you guys some serious retribution for the last few weeks.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

win. just. win

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

If we use our speed and high skill levels then I think we will win.

 

[Sleezy]

I'm demoralised, ambivalent, and will 100% be there. Arms crossed.

Then I'll get into it, piss off a bunch of random pies fans by calling out EBOOOO obnoxiously.

Then I'll probably slump in defeat as Ryder limps off.

Then I'll go home and forget about footy for another week

 

[drcollossimo]

We are getting thrashed today

Followed by a diatribe by Kern about the evenness of the comp and how it’s not over for us yet and we will bounce into the final game at AO...

 

[PepeSilvia]

Carm Porps.

 

[Kingfish73]

Grundy is a beast and even with their outs they have quality midfield. Our midfield plays in patches and need R Gray and Chad to play forward. Will get destroyed in midfield over the course of the game.

6 weeks of average footy + another this week.

Port by 1

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Im getting my infected wisdom tooth cut out instead of going. Collingwood have no players left. I actually think we are going to win to prolong this stupid season.
