Even though they were 0-4.

Good effort.

I know they have only beaten us, saints and dons but they are a good footy team.

Cant be ordinary if you make the GF.

(I know they got belted but they are starting to get some confidence back - and have some good kids)
 
Im nervous playing them next week. They are coming into some good form, and the last time we played them was at Aurora and it cost us our top 4 spot. 2 goals in the last 2 minutes to pinch victory... i still hate ebert!

time for revenge i think!
 
They go 3-4( if/when they beat Dons today)with a bunch of other average sides so good a chance as any. It's top 3 ( maybe Adelaide) and daylight at the moment.

port are not that good they are playing a team that has heaps of injuries.
 
yeah they may scrape into the 8 but i think that they wont really go far in the finals.
 
Nah they are good.

Adelaide couldnt even make the GF when they dominated 05 and 06.

This isn't 2005, or 2006, this is 2008.

Why exactly are they good?

They probably will be 3-4 after 7 rounds with a full squad.

Their wins are virtue of playing shit or injury ridden sides.

They could not beat Adelaide in a Showdown this year even though Adelaide only have 1 player on the interchange bench and a couple of players playing injured.

They've beaten a terrible West Coast, a terrible St.Kilda and will likely beat a terrible and injury ridden Essendon.

I have seen nothing to inspire me, I've only seen soft front running from Port, evidenced by Brisbane coming back and beating them at AAMI, has everyone forgotten this, a couple of weeks seems to be a long time in footy.

Like Adelaide they have good kids, a group of good senior players, clever goalsneaks and one of the best ruck duos going around.

Id back Port to beat Hawthorn and Bulldogs if they play at AAMI.

They will give the Hawks a hell of a run in Tassie in 2 weeks - especially if "The Chad" comes back.
I don't think we have ever beaten them in tassie so it should be a good test for both sides. They haven't beaten anyone that good yet but will definately make the 8.

I do think they are frontrunners though.
 
Crappy game plan was the main culprate in our terrible first few games. I think we should make the eight, weather we will, i guess we'll see. If we can beat the Hawks after the break it will go a long wayto showing we can do well this year.

bear in mind, we have on ly had three home games this year, so if we win this week we aren't looking too bad.
 
You are right ... Port wil make the 8 ... the bottom 8.

I seriously can't see them beating Hawthorn in a couple of weeks, not without the Chad. That will make them 3-5 and I think they have to play Hawthorn & Geelong twice this year as well as their nemesis the Crows. This will make it extremely hard to make the 8 considering you pretty certainly need 12 wins to get in.

If they do make it they will scrape in at 7-8, I think they will finish 9th.

I still have my doubts, who have they defeated - not much

But couldn't that same question be posed about Adelaide ?
Who is it - us, west coast, carlton, kangaroos, and freo.

They have beaten a depleted and sober WCE, The Aints and maybe an u/20s (+ a few hacks) Bombers...

They still need 9 wins to make the 8. So need 9 more easy beat teams.

They and Brisbane would be the only two teams from the bottom 8 to get back into the 8 come round 22.

I tend to agree...We have only beaten one team that was in the 8 when we beat them. Ans lost to the two other teams above us we have played.

Having said that we do have a nice draw...Sound Familiar...

Good point.Stkilda at home,West Coast away.
Another local teams wins include Carlton :D West Coast :D Fremantle :DNorth Melbourne:D and Port Adelaide :thumbsu:.
Not a lot of quality in there so in such an even competition you can probably swing sides win and make them seem pretty mediocre.
 
Will be tight for 7-8th spot this year. Collingwood, Brizzy, Carlton, Port, Richmond all there abouts..
