Game Day Port v the B-eagles

[Buget]

Port should win this. I’m going 5 goals after a strong 2nd quarter and the typical Port Adelaide coast.

Would like to see Lord kick a few and Teakle ruck well.

26k crowd - local football is back and its a rubbish game time.

 

[dirty2]

Anzac game... s**t time slot.... Kick in the teeth.

 

[davesnothere]

The absolute best outcome for the West Coast this season is to end up with Harley Reid at the end of it and I don't think they are going to let us stand in their way.

Lord to kick 5 goals
JHF 3 Brownlow votes.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

On the 6th day the Lord did thus grace them with his presence, and kicketh 7 majors which unto Simpsonicus did say "Well my defendereths are injureth"

 

[Alyx]

Waffle Eagles by 119.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

“Here’s Tommy”. We missed you Tom.

 

[Lawnchair Larry]

My guesstimate of an only faintly interested crowd:
21,863
Chardonnay and apricot slice will keep me busy at the game.

 

[WillemDaDrew]

After 2 intense wins against top 8 contenders, I'm expecting a meh tbh.

I'd expect it'll be a typical unconvincing irresolute Hinkleyball victory by Port.

Anzac game... s**t time slot.... Kick in the teeth.

Yup, this is SA’s ANZAC Round Game, it should have decent coverage at least.
Instead we get eves and days from Melbourne.
Ridiculous, it also shows what the AFL really want from ANZAC round…a fuller MCG.

 

[Prison bar Pete]

It should be a thrashing - Port by 50+. Probably won't be though; more like a wishy-washy 25-30 points.

 

[PA John]

Tough for the Skipper to be out another week but hope to see more great footy from Williams. Visentini will be interesting (fingers crossed!) as will Georgiades' form. Farrell will be pushed forward I don't doubt. Th..

Oh hang on, this is reality. Port by 15. Hope Lord goes tops.

 

[Visenfest]

We’ll win by around 20pts or so. Should be putting the Eagles B team to the sword, but this is the type of game we slack off in.

 

[philreich]

This will in no way give us an indication of our chances next Friday night - a solid 7 goal win with no injuries would be a good result.

 

[Coobk001]

They've been basically giving away tickets to this one and it'll still be a s**t crowd. Damn Saturday games.

Combine that with our traumatized supporter base, the general lack of excitement and the fact we're playing the Eagles and it's all set for a really flat afternoon.

I have a horrible feeling they'll take it right up to us, they don't look as weak as the talk has been on paper, but this should really be the type of game we blow open with a good spell of footy.

Moving to 4-2 after the start we had would definitely be classed a good start to the year.

 

[1954]

We have seen these easy kill games become as boring as batsh*t multiple times during kern's tenure, so I expect we will cruise to a comfortable lead before half time and then put the cue in the rack early in the 3rd term, resulting in a potential 60 plus point win being less than half that and in the process at least 3 or 4 valuable percentage points being flushed around the `S' bend to Bolivar.

 

[Winganeen]

Just have a feeling this will be TJ's last game.

They're giving him a chance but suspect this could be it.

 

[Ports1870]

The year is 2047. Ollie Lord Jr. is making his debut and the commentators will be repeatedly mentioning how his dad kicked 8 on debut.

 

[Schulzenfest]

We'll win by 10 goals, the spuds we brought in this week will look half decent against our WAFL team opponents, and this will be used as an excuse to give them the next month of AFL football while Hayes and Georgiades waste away in the SANFL. Teakle's form will quickly drop off, at which point he'll be omitted for a returning Scott Lycett

[Keystone agony]

Do we think Teakle or Finlayson is the #1 ruck today?

 

[Steve Dore]

Carn Ports, just be carbon neutral!

Ports by eleventy.

Tom Jones BOG.

I’m all for us playing at home on Anzac round, but not against the same opponent in a terrible time slot. We don’t have any rivalry against the "crows of wa” period.

 

[Ilias M]

Port win Hinkley the messiah. August can't come soon enough

 

[240volt]

West coast not as bad as people on this forum are trying to perceive.
Loss to North by 5 points beat GWS smashed by Melbourne and lost to Geelong last week by 8 but did out score the Cats in the second half.
They have some talented players,Allen would be a walk up starter in any team.
We should win and my guess would be by around the 6 goal mark.
4-2 and playing a couple of form teams in the next fortnight will give us a better guide to how the team is travelling.

 

[TazD]

Hope everyone under 26 has a good game

Hayes has played 7 games in over 5 seasons,think he is well past wasted.
