Game Day Rd4 v Port, 3:20pm @ Adelaide Oval

[BrutThough]

We are due. Time to finally beat them.

Might struggle a bit in the midfield I think, especially with no Steele.

They haven't been at their best in there but you just know they will find form today.

 

[PoppedCorn]

 

[beside the seaside]

The midfield will be the key. Find a way to break even or win in there and we should win the game.

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Littlehorn Franci's had a downish few weeks, will be superkeen to get amongst it. Hope we go with Windy there.

 

[The Jack]

Don’t mean to be a negative Nancy, but I think we’ll lose by a goal and NWM will sign with Port over a Pie Floater and a West End draught in a pub somewhere near the Rundle mall straight after the game. Hope I’m wrong.

 

[TheNewEnsign]

Win or lose, I suspect this game more than any will shape how we're perceived in the media for this year.

Medium / Big loss = Geelong randomly off their tucker and anyone can smash Richmond, St Kilda will be jostling with Dees and Carlton to be bottom four.

Win and we'll actually be taken seriously, particularly if someone in the commentariat figures out how young the team we're putting out there at the moment is.

 

[Saints4ever]

Butters, Rozee, Horne Francis, Wines, Drew

VS

Macrae, Windhager, Garcia, Travaglia and others.

It’s going to be a massive ask but we can get them win the run and gun off half back.

Cmon boys the time is now.

I agree. I think the main thing we need to do is stop clean Port exits from stoppages. If we do that, we're right in this.

Having said that, I won't tip us to beat Port until we actually beat them. We've lost 15 of the last 16!!! And the only win was in the make believe season of 2020.

 

[Moquo]

Pot will be pretty nasty. Expect Webster to get 4 weeks.

 

[Remboy]

It’s election time! Saints by eleventy hundred!

 

[ERMAHGERD]

Connor Rozee, ring around the Rosie, ham, salami and bologni.
Sainters in 5

 

[StFly]

We are due. Time to finally beat them.

We're not as it's a 50/50 like most games, but it'd be great if we could boot that arse.

Gut feel has their bigger bodies taxing us to shit though, here's hoping we get to see a JHF tanty and Ken throwing the headset at Kochy.

 

[ARCHIE66]

Got a bad feeling that we’re going to get smashed, just don’t see how we can win on paper. Their midfield vs ours is a scary sight.

Butters, Rozee, Horne Francis, Wines, Drew

If Port turn up switched on they will win. We have one established AFL level onballer vs four guns.

Here's hoping the players are keen to get rid of Ken before the end of the season.

[DogDaySonny]

I know you all don’t care, but I really don’t like Port. Please, Ross, sic the boys on them and smash them around. K-k-k-Ken needs the harsh treatment.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Port game day thread rivals our shit posting tbh.

They don't seem super confident but god damn are we bunnies and away from home without some important players.

Just can't do another <2 goal loss.

 

[PoppedCorn]

just accept the loss now

if you do that and we lose youll be fine with it

get up for the win and youll be happy as larry to be wrong

 

[Diehard Saint]

Pretty much how I’m looking at it I’ll admit.

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Never liked Hinkley.

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Zak Butters just now thinking about having to play on Hugo...

 

[saintbill]

Steele out hursts. On paper I don't see how our midfield doesn't get absolutely molested.

Not confident at all, but hopefully they surprise me. Port just a bad bad match up.

That is a frightening head to head in the midfield.

 

[The Cobra]

Ever since old Kenny (complete fraud) has been there PA are the ultimate flat track bullies which probably means it’s a difficult exercise for us today.

When they come up against the big boys under real heat they are easy beats and have been for 10+ years

Hopeful but not confident - for whatever reason our structure seems to break down at AO - don’t know why - it’s a ground that should suit us
