Based on the comments below, If you ask me, Tredders and the rest of the Port "followers" have go too use to the continual ego massaging and pumping up done by the SA media, most notibly Mr Rucci over the summer.
I can't beleive why a captain of a team that slumped to 12th last year is surprised that most other captains think his team will miss the finals this year.
This guy needs a good dose of reality rather than having his head in the clouds as his continual balbbering in the media (i.e Port are drug free) shows.
Port Adelaide captain Warren Tredrea will remind his teammates how few of his rival skippers rate the Power.
Port's slip to 12th last season after five previous seasons in the finals prompted only four of Tredrea's 15 rival skippers to have the Power playing in the 2007 finals in the survey of league captains.
Tredrea said he did not have to convince the club's supporters of the potential of the Power side, but would draw on the opposition snub to motivate his side ahead of the March 31 clash against Fremantle.
"Convincing's not what we need to do, I know our supporters are excited about what they see," he said.
"It probably gives you a little bit of a spur. It gives me something to say in a pre-game, that no-one rates you and there's nothing better than proving people wrong.
"When someone says a little negative I'm always someone to use it as a positive."
