Game Day Port v Geelong

[El_Scorcho]

We should rightfully smash them off the park, just as we should with every other team. Two extra days break. Rip off their heads and s**t down their necks.

Now this I can get behind.

Im excited about this game... big opportunity awaits here.

Having the most anti port umpire in the game on the field while we play against the biggest ducking, acting showponies in the afl is seriously worrying though. Expecting the duckwood dangerflog combo alone to pick up 10 undeserved frees. Could well be infuriating to watch.

I'm just wondering which "never seen before / never to be seen again" interpretation will be utilised in Geelong's favour tonight. Maybe Charlie will be penalised for frowning at an opponent.

We only beat Geelong last year cause they came off the bye round, other than that we've only beaten them once in the last 12 years. Realistically the Cats are running hot and have won there last 3 games and will be hunting us.

But again a test, if we win this we're the real deal, if not we're still in a very good place.

I'm predicting the Cats will get up.

But but we were apparently contenders last year, don’t you know?

Regardless of the incorrect play on call Sellwood was in the protected zone before the umpire called play on.

That’s fine though. I’m pretty sure the protected zone is the perfect place for the afls most protected player.

 

[philreich]

Our long term bogey team collides with our long term bunny ground. Fascinating stuff. I'm picking a draw.

2 draws at Metricon in 3 days would be quite a story.

 

[Pappagallo]

I would normally give us no chance but this time we're finally playing them at Fortress Metricon. Port by 17.

The Metress? Sounds like Primus’ kiwi cousin.

* this hurts to read

 

[StuMan]

I've said I'd be happy to get out of this trio of Dogs/Rich/Geel 2-1. We've done that, but 3-0 would have me seriously starting to believe again.

With all the praise and hype we've received during the week though, I expect us to crumble mentally as per usual.

 

[Harlott]

I plan to say three sack hinkleys before the match to put the reverse jinx on us

Say them holding your Rozee beads

 

[Harlott]

We've had 2 days extra break in the middle of this festival of football. That shouldn't be underestimated.

No excuses.

Like who was missing for Richmond last week, this will be the asterisk to the punters if we win.

Worst possible compliment from the media is playing finals type footy that ticks all the key stats, but then not qualifying for finals because we 'what happen Power?' twice or thrice per season.

 

[Smartys Power]

I think we’ll smash them.

That means Cats by 17.

 

[FutureShock]

The last 5 years of scarring makes me see huge potential for a patented Port flop here.
It's Friday night, we're being talked up all over the place, we've had a longer break...
I still don't have confidence in our ability to play at high intensity week after week. Even in most of our recent wins we've been ordinary for large chunks of the games. I can imagine our midfield being off the boil which will lead to our other deficiencies being exposed - slow, undersized backline and lack of efficient system going forward. Geelong is exactly the kind of steady, professional side that exploits our weaknesses.

Hope I'm wrong.

 

[PowerBaz]

The good thing with Ports this year is our ability to fight back within a game - we just can't let a team like Geelong get off to a fast break.

 

[ROBBBO]

I think we have a far far stronger midfield than Geelong, not to mention we are going to kill them in ruck

Very very confidant

 

[Shane_Mag]

Glad this game is at Metricon and not in Geelong.

 

[Harlott]

I really hate what happened and what we allowed to happen in 2007. Fancy thinking you can just move on. Yes we can acknowledge we came second and we also can acknowledge we took an almighty pounding that has affected us to this day. We can take another step in correcting it tonight and then the rest of this season.

 

[philreich]

Like who was missing for Richmond last week, this will be the asterisk to the punters if we win.

We could win the grand final by a record margin, and the so called experts on Fox Footy would claim that we should have won by more.

 

[Alberton Proud]

All our boys are in an extremely good head space at the moment

I'm confident we'll win

 

[JAlexG]

If we bring some campaigner we'll harass and bully them around the contest, first time in a while.
Play Port Adeladie footy, make 'em earn every touch of the sherrin.

 

[PJ Power]

Having read most of the pessimism posted here, I am back to being pessimistic about this one.
13 years, 2 wins against them.

Tonight will tell us whether we are different this year.

 

[MrChow]

Pardon the intrusion but I have to ask, why do Port hate Geelong so much?

Do we?

I hate every club a lot. I hate the Crows the most. Then all the Victorian clubs. Then the other teams. I also hate the AFL and their Vic bias. I hate the media and their Vic bias. I hate the Umpires. I hate losing.

I like the mentality - It’s us against them

 

[MrChow]

Now this I can get behind.

Better to be behind then in front sometimes...

Give it to ‘em....
