Game Day Us vs Them (overthere at the GABBA)

[PAFC04]

What...its 8:30am and no game day thread as yet.....slack peeps...

If they pull this off, I will start trusting our boys somewhat more....

Feel free to change the title or delete this thread if already started.....

 

[Magus]

Expecting a competitive game for the most part until we pull away at the end. Just hoping to see our game plan continue to hold up and the guys to play a solid 4 quarters.

Port by 38.

 

[mic59]

Expecting them to do a bit better than last year. They have Martin and Beams this year and this could also give a bit more freedom to Rockliff and Zorko. But we also have Ryder which means Trengove does not have to run in the ruck all day. We won 4 quarters against Freo, we should win 3 or 4 quarters against Brisbane and win by at least 60.

 

[Kingfish73]

Port 28. Robbie and Chad 3 each. Wines bog.

 

[Janus]

Hombsch back?

 

[SureBuddy]

Pot by 56.
Hombsch back is more important than losing boak. I think he's almost our most important player. We will be way too strong.

 

[philreich]

It'd be pure sacrilege if we were to lose Ollie Wines' first game as skipper. Port by 39 points.

 

[Pappagallo]

Comfortable win followed by Death-riding Port thread invasion.

 

[Power Raid]

Port by 6 goals in an ugly one

 

[Lou Zyffer]

Yeah I'm thinking 6 goals plus by the final siren with the Lions being far more competetive than last time at the Gabba and getting away from them late too.

26 & sunny. I'm in Adelaide. Bit jelly.

Of course we are a 4 goal worse side this time with no Butch too so...

 

[Prison bar Pete]

Should win no problems. We're going to a bbq for a visiting young relative from the USA so will have to record the games today. Will take every opportunity to find myself near the TV and to hopefully indoctrinate the lad into the Port Adelaide way!

 

[NoddyHolder]

Ports for the win - comfortable. Robbie Gray to kick 17 goals

 

[jdeezy]

It'll be closer than it should be for the first half but the power will kick away in the second.

Ports by 47.
Wingard to get off the chain, take a mark of the year contender and kick 4 goals.

 

[edgie]

Is this one of the delayed games on telly?

Hombsch back?

I always used to think the emperor had a two tone cloak there, it took me a long to realise it was a shadow.

These are the games we got to win. This is a great time to prove that you've improved from the last 2 years Ports!

I'm not getting too overconfident, so Port by 8 points.

 

[Coobk001]

I hope our team isn't as blazè about this game as we've been all week. Has definitely been a game we haven't chatted about much on this board, think we're all just hoping and expecting to go up there for an easy win so hopefully that happens.

I think Port by 34. Hoping we blow it right out but expecting the Lions to push us until we break them late in the last

 

[Coobk001]

Posted in Magpies thread but will post here as well.

For those interstate who want to watch the Maggie's today you should be able to for free if you download the 'Plus 7' app and select SA as your state.

Port by 46
Dixon to kick 5
S Gary 30 and 2

The Collingwood and Melbourne games are our delayed games.

 

[jordz82]

I'm feeling about a 10 goal win is to be expected, if it were played here we would smash by 20 goals

 

[Schulzenfest]

No Butch makes us an 150 point a game worse side, Brisbane by 10 goals.

 

[Jello_B]

Comfortable win followed by Death-riding Port thread invasion.

Brisbane are almost at the point they'll be death riding themselves for draft picks. They're in chariot mode.

 

[Pappagallo]

Death-riding prots.

 

[chiwigi]

It'd be pure sacrilege if we were to lose Ollie Wines' first game as skipper. Port by 39 points.

This makes the game even more important.
It is hugely important in the context of the season as a game we need to win to make finals.

If it also establishes Ollie as a losing captain then.....aaargh

 

[portly]

Ports by 88. I'm feeling lucky.
