Yeah this is a crunch game for us and it is time to stand up and make a statement but how often have we said that before only to be disappointed?

We are in the eight but thus far have not shown that we are going to make our mark if we play finals. As supporters we have to remain positive and the players have to take the view that everyone will write us off and we have nothing to lose by standing up for our Club.

Stand up and make a statement time fellas. GO PORT

We should be able to win this but it's a real coin toss on form. Home ground advantage to West Coast I fear. Hopefully Chokito & friends can rev up the boys enough for a stirring victory!

Line ball may be correct. The bookmakers have this game very close (WCE 1.80 v PAFC 2.05). Perhaps they know something we don't?

I'll see you there. Camping at Dwellingup this weekend (farken cold) and driving back Sunday for the game.

Just for once I would like to go to a winning game at Subi.

Maybe Chokito can tell them 'they are all just salty'?

I will be away with probably no access to a telly so this will be only the third game ever in the AFL I won't be watching as it happens.
I think we'll win. The catastrophic melts in the selections threads also gives me great hope. Last week was pure contentment and look what happened.

Atley and Eddy, wait a minute it's stopped raining ...

 

[HighBudget]

Have some faith in the boys

I would, if the boys had faith in themselves. As for being soft who can blame me after so many soft years by Port? I think you should have a talk with our onfield group about faith and softness

We were heavy favourites against Richmond. Means nothing other than punters have NFI.

 

[Coobk001]

We will get pantsed, I can still feel it in my bones. I'm just hoping Atley plays well to give me some hope.

 

[Biggles62]

Another just win game after the previous weeks loss.

I dont care how its done. A low scoring scrap or a high scoring goal fest.

Finish in front on the scoreboard. The only stat that matters.

 

[PAFC04]

No expectation for Port to win.
Port by 60 points.

Westhoff to kick goal of the year by tripping over the ball in the goal square. Doing a forward somersault and the ball rolling onto his shin then through the goals.

Be careful to what your wishing for....

After losing the last 3 to them all at home, it'd be funny if we went over to Perth and beat them.

In fact, the home team has not won a Port Adelaide-West Coast match since 2013

Prediction: if we lose to the Eagles, we'll belt North next week. If we beat the Eagles, we'll lose to North.

Getting pretty excited about this game, hoping to see Hartlett continue his very good form from last week. I know he usually lifts against Richmond but I have a good feeling about Hamish.

Listening to Matty White's presser it really is a great story. He basically said that every game could be his last, and he loves every game he plays. He has been a fantastic player for us, and I'm backing him in to be important for us for the remainder of this year.

I think it will take a lot of work for our attack to improve, which means simply changing personnel isn't likely to fix much for more than a game or two. The good news is that we have apparently been working on it for some weeks now, while still maintaining a strong game in other areas. Does that mean we will turn the corner this week? Maybe, maybe not.

If we can recapture the god mode form we've had in the past for even 5 minutes a game we could be an amazing side. I'm not sure we will see that this year, but if we are patient we might see this side become very special.

If we lose to North this year, we need to pack up and go home.

He's got a great attitude, I can see why Ken really likes him.

2014 semi final?

 

[Byron!!!]

Not really. We went 4-8 at home last year compared to 6-4 on the road. This year we are 4-3 on the road and 4-3 at home. We have no significant home ground advantage to speak of and generally play pretty well on the road (presumably because the pressure is off).

It honestly feels like we are the only team to not get home ground advantage from the umps (which is what home ground advantage really is). Perhaps it is a reflection of the nature of the crowds and them being too quiet if we aren't winning?

It's because we've been playing like ******* balls at home.
No one wants to cheer when we are playing bullshit football. And why should they?
Win your own fans over with the a style and intent on the footy that shows we actually give a *.

 

[1954]

If, as I suspect, Jacko spends a lot of this game as a kpf, let's hope we don't see another Weekend at Bernies impersonation from him.

 

[StuMan]

Got work tomorrow afternoon .
Should get home sometime in the third.
Hopefully it's still a good game at that point.
