He is The bigfooty version of Jeff kennett.

I give us a chance today like us ports strength is their midfield, we are definitely winning the ruck battle which hopefully allows us some clean entries inside our fwd 50.

The acclaimed ‘best young midfield’ v the one which aspires to be

 

[Hodginator]

A sneaky chance for upset of the year today.

If we had Sicily, we would be a better side then the one that flogged them in Adelaide last year.. Big shoes to fill Scrim!

Their two best players in that game were Boak and Amon.. one is injured, the other plays for us

 

[The hands of stone]

We match up pretty well with Port imo.
No Dixon helps , No Sicily hurts .

Really rate Ports mids so looking forward to seeing how we fare in that area .

Hoping to very competitive against a top side.
Well done Luke Bruest ....captain and hopefully snags 500 which would be amazing for a small-mid forward

 

[kirbatron]

port are miles better than last year. they should get within 3 goals this time

 

[Delecate Des]

Port, pfft. Hawks by plenty

 

[Argy]

Can't help but feel we'll get a reality check today. Young sides find it hard to maintain consistency and we're coming off a huge high from the Saints game. Would love to be wrong.

Historically we play well at Adelaide oval. I think we will push them for most of the game.

Looking forward to watching BMac debut- starting too (nice touch Sammy)
Will be good to see how we go against a top side

Introducing two of my American mates to AFL tonight. Please, for the love of god Hawks, put up a gutsy performance so that I can indoctrinate a few new fans

 

[Off The Couch]

I’m thinking today might be a reality check for the young hawks on Ports home ground



I have humble pie baking in the oven if needed

I'll be at box hill but will be back to watch the replay

There’s been some wild one sided affairs between these two clubs.

Looking back to 2005-2007 hawks generally only had three wins in a row three times, and this season we have three wins total

A win would seem to deny demographic gravity, so really enjoy it if it happens

 

[SC fish]

Seamus Mitchell is out right?

 

[hawkguru]

Looking forward to this midfield battle...

 

[DEECEE]

More of this please Hawks!

23 and sunny today. Feels like finals footy weather. Plus I snagged a ticket in the RAA Lounge

 

[Flukey!]

Today is another chance to see how we are progressing.
if this game was 4 or 5 weeks ago I would have been predicting ugliness.

I am confident we wont be embarrassed.

We've played really well the past few weeks, but this is Port, at home, without Sicily. I'd be happy to be competitive every quarter.

BMac for a rising star nom?

Weddle to one up Sicily's game last week and go 45/5 goals from fullback?

Anythings possible.

This is the sort of game you can really look forward to during seasons where improvement is as important as results. They are a top team playing at home, and we have lost our captain. If we can be competitive and other players can show leadership in Sic’s absence that’s a huge win for us, regardless of the final score. If we push them that’s even better. Anything above the witches hats games of the early rounds will be bearable, and a win would be amazing. Almost a free swing game for us I think. Can’t wait!

This really is pathetic mate.
