Let's end the Sun's finals chances and have them looking forward to April 2015.

Forgot how hard fought it was to win last year. Have to be on top of our game even without Ablett around.

We better play well ...

 

[Kingfish73]

Last 4 weeks being optimistic game day for me has resulted in disappointment. I will watch with a lack of confidence in our midfield and forward line. But always barracking for them rain hail shine...

We need to rediscover our running game despite the wet conditions. I want to see our players Running Free.

As a club we need to seek to smash this articulate club whenever we play them after the ignominy of being the first to lose to them. Let's set a record for the future as being the team with the fewest losses to them.

Articulate? Will they be bringing some sophisticated sledging to the field?

I hate articulate clubs.

dam those articulated clubs

 

[Ford Fairlane]

As opposed to Freo who are reticulated

 

[philreich]

No more close losses: only a win will do today!!!!!

 

[cj_09]

We've got this lads.

Big win.

Come on Port!!!

 

[SgtSchulz]

Rain, rain go away. Come again another day. Preferably that 'another' day should be during a training session. #PearTime

dam those articulated clubs

Only thing worse are semi-articulated clubs.
