No one knows what it's like to be a saad maan

I've got a bad feeling about this one. I can't see us winning with no ruck.

 

[PhoenixPower]

If we win this , Even by 1 point, I’ll rate it as a better win than the general football public would

I think this will be really tough.

If you wanted to be pessimistic you could say that last year we beat Sydney in Sydney - done it again this year. Last year we smashed freo and Brisbane - this year we won a lot less convincingly

That’s way too simplistic I know but erasing last years etihad debacle would be a handy piece of evidence that we are who we think we are this year

This year Freo Brisbane and Swans are better than they were last year

In Brazil, people say that footballers die twice; the first time is when they retire.

OP poster is highly appropriated.

Suspect we'll get shafted by the umps but as for no ruck, let's wait 'til the team is announced.
Imo it's a great time to debut Billy but feel like i'm whistling in the wind. They'll come out firing after last week but we ARE good
enough to win.

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Essendon were pretty average last week.

We weren’t that great either. Let’s hope we bring the Sydney level of intensity this week.

 

[Powerstufff]

I liked and still like Impey but his befuddled ineffectiveness in the equivalent game last year sticks in my memory. Even if everything from last year's game is similar without Impey the margin will be 5 goals less.

 

[HighBudget]

Our win against Brisbane IMO is one of those wins where it's all about how we respond in the next match, if we turn up from the first bounce and go on to win then last weeks performance will seem more acceptable but if we turn up half asleep, lazy and go onto lose then that'll be very troubling and will make last weeks win seem pointless. The best sides show up in these games Port, prove to us that you aspire to be the best!

This damning 360 clip on the bombers just made our job harder on Sunday

Expect nothing less from the Facebook brigade

Trying to be optimistic about this one so here goes.

1. Westhoff is much more effective on this ground when he is allowed to run outside the ruck.
2. This is one of Tom Rockliff's best grounds, of the three grounds he has played more than 10 games on he has the best stats here.
3. Essendon played appallingly badly last week, had the Bulldogs kicked anywhere near straight that brain explosion Daniher had in the last quarter wouldn't have meant anything.

 

[Rising Power]

I'd love to see Monfries toss the coin. Goodnight sweet prince.

 

[Chokito]

I fear a repeat of last year. This was the game that scared me before the season even started!

 

[raman]

I'd love to see Monfries toss the coin. Goodnight sweet prince.

It'd be good to assure most of Facebook that he's still with us.

Just read that the Ch 7 telecast of this game is delayed till 3pm. **** off campaigners!!!

Yea just noticed that.. I'll be watching through a potato on the best ice cream I can find.. **** AFL apps & Fuxtel

 

[MrPortAdelaide]

this game has all the hallmarks of a typical port adelaide loss. The challenge is for the coaches to understand what went wrong against brisbane and make the tuff calls at selection if it is needed instead of waiting for a loss and then making the changes then, i think the coaches should be proactive and at least make 2 changes and possibly 3. We should really be focusing on getting first hands to the ball this week as that has been the common theme when teams have got on top of us during the first 3 rounds

 

[mic59]

Apparently we have recently started taking spelling lessons from the Collingwood cheersquad.

 

[Killer Power]

Yeah bet the house on Essendon 39+

The stars are aligning. I mean I think we’re going to have a fabulous season but this is going to be a dirty week.

Wouldnt hurt to have Willem Drew next to him to help.

 

[PhoenixPower]

This year Freo Brisbane and Swans are better than they were last year

yep agree totally - but still feel this weeks game is a real tangible measuring stick to compare this year to last year

 

[Amarula]

Actually this is Watts first game back in Victoria. He'll be keen.

As long as it's less than about 28 degrees.

Pretty weird that the 39+ Essendon win that happened so easily just 15 games ago is paying that sort of price considering there has been no major change of fortunes for either team since that day. Unfortunately, it's a value bet.
