Nope. I stand by every single word. I said you could win, and yes, I am surprised, because I didn't expect you to be so committed to the contest. And guess what? I'm not in the least bit concerned.

All it means is we are 2-1 now having lost to a side that played better than us on the night by taking their chances when they needed to. I don't need your validation the way you seem to need mine :p

Didn't expect us to be so committed, you obviously didn't watch many of our games in 2016?

We took our opportunities? We wasted many opportunities and the scoreboard flattered Port in the end

Wow you do live in a Port bubble

We'll see by the end of the year who knows what. We didn't play any of our systems tonight.

And yeah, I saw that. I also saw him hit Houston after he disposed of the ball and no down field free was given. Sometimes luck can be mistaken for success.

Ha ha ha ha you're an embarrassment to big footy and that's saying a lot as there are some absolute flogs on here but you always manage to take the cake. Here come the excuses and the promises that you'll beat us next time. Four in a row go eat a dick.

How many goals did Tex (you know that player you like to say is s**t) kick tonight?

Just a note on Houston. Looks to be a good player of the future. Just would like to see him grow his shoulders a bit , he looks a solid bump away from a reco , and having to carry Ports backline over the next 10 years is gonna hurt

Port would certainly know about luck considering how much luck they had in 2014 with their draw only to fall into the finals. 4 finals appearances since 2005. Not sure you have much idea on finals football. Or do your tarot cards say otherwise?

Oh and you're right...your systems are still s**t but your boys played well above their talent tonight.

Stay salty San Diego.

Why wait until the end of the year, you've been getting s**t wrong for years already :D

They're actually saying over there that we've been good the last few years because no other teams bother to try and shut down our players during the season.

Unlike when they were "good" 3 years ago and apparently the entire league studied up hard on how to shut down powerful Port.

You couldn't make this s**t up.

I'm confused. Are they saying other teams have let us win because they know we aren't any good in finals?

Yes. They don't bother to play us seriously until the finals because we are s**t and easybeats unlike Port who had to be analysed and prevented from becoming the competition juggernaut they were destined to be.

Is what they are saying.

My head hurts. It's all so illogical and bizarre it actually makes my head hurt.
