Preview R1 - Port Adelaide @ Melbourne

[Far Kern]

No.

However we played that day is irrelevant to how blatantly biased the umpiring was to St Kilda.

Bull

s**t

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Watts and Hoff will spend time in there

Yeah even with this in mind I still feel like we are one defender short.

 

[pastmyprimus]

Ryder spending a lot more time up forward could be our best tactical move. A nice pair of hands, a good shot for goal and good below his knees.

He’s more than capable of kicking a bag tomorrow

Yep, he’s the one I’m most worried about. Could easily see him monster our back 6, we need to restrict the supply.

 

[Janus]

Because Jones and Viney had interrupted pre-seasons? Or because your lot are fitter?

Because we play a style where our defenders will push up into the midfield and provide options that enable our dedicated mids to save their legs.

Schofield reckons he’d have around 20 players walking through his door as midfield coach because they all run through midfield on occasion.

We won’t be dying wondering about this game.

Our forward line isn't our strong point. If Paddy doesn't fire tomorrow we could struggle to put up a competitive score.

Hopefully he can see with that helmet on.

Facebook memory from a Melbourne game 5 years ago. Not really related to this game, but I found it quite funny.

Our only hope of a win is for me to back Melbourne with real $$$$

 

[davo999]

We’d have to at least break even in the midfield to win this .
Great to see the debutants but I can’t really see a win . Hope I’m wrong , if I am I’ll be a very happy man

What are you waiting for?

 

[Far Kern]

You always fall back on a statement like this don’t you? “Whichever way it falls my bases are covered.”

Why don’t you start a predictions thread so we can all keep watch? Simple, one week at a time, no equivocation, something that can actually be held to account.

Alright Janus either you create a Janus Watch thread or I do. It’s up to you, but it’s happening before round one this year. Time for some accountability.

I’ve got you with Port smashing it in the middle and winning by lots, or, not smashing it in the middle and either winning or losing depending. Is that right?

[Prison bar Pete]

I'm getting more than a little excited about tomorrow's game!

 

[Far Kern]

Do what you like

OK.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

It'll be competitive for a nice chunk of the game then we'll get rolled that's my feel.

Good luck.

I wouldn't want you to think I don't put my money where my mouth is

It’s just nice to be so clear on where that actually is. All the best.

Done Melb win Brayshhaw and Rocky plus 30

I’m worried we’ll start slow

 

[NoddyHolder]

Excellent. I now expect a solid win
