Preview Port vs Gold Coast, Adelaide Oval Sunday June 26th 3.40pm

[Capital Power]

Lose at home to the Suns - albeit a much better credentialled team these days - and you'd assume that would force some change. I'm not sure how many more 'Primus games' the current regime can survive.

That said, we ain't losing this, and that's a good thing for the confidence of the team. Just a shame we extended preseason through to round 5.

Best Gold Coast team ever

Gold Coast Seagulls 1990-1995

Seagulls??? FMD what were the marketing team smoking???

 

[powermacs]

Gold Coast kicked 13.7 from Crows turnovers. We play near the level we did last week we’ll win comfortably. Win this playing the brand we did last week I think we could make the finals.

A bit less than the marketing team that came up with Port Power, and We'll Never Stop Stop Stop, Till We're Top Top Top.

Could at least be a more location-aware name than the Titans (who are incidentally the answer to the thread poll, as I believe they are the only one of the named teams to have made finals)

Fair point.

Still had to bring up the seagulls for a laugh. And they were red, white and black. Like a broken seagull

Haha, fair point indeed
Bizarrely I actually didn't mind the Pirates or even Sharks (I think it was)

Weirdly I think it was largely when I found out that we might have been the Sharks, and also had a much bluer teal in those days, that I first became a Port fan .

 

[Windy Cindy]

Should win

But these are the games in hinkleys time that we end up losing

Yes, the 'teal' has changed over the years.

[It Just Is]

Gary Ablett 2014. Best I’ve ever seen.

 

[I Dont Care]

We'll be 6 goals up at the last change only to get over the line by a couple of points after GC come storming back in the last only for them to turn it over in their forward line with seconds on the clock...prompting Hinkley to claim it is the greatest win the club has had since our last win and a 'I told youse so' look on his face

 

[EskimoPAFC]

The problem is that the gaslighting from the ministry of truth is so insane now that if we lose the media line will be "Wow look how amazing Ken is to come back from 6-8 and a loss at home to the SUNS". Suddenly finishing 12th will be where the 'success' bar is lowered to.

 

[Adz2332]

If it is dry and we play tall like against the swans, we win.

If its wet / raining and we go small, we get done

 

[Alberton Proud]

You just know that after the great win against the swannies and the tyre pumping that followed this will be a our weakest most embarrassing loss of the year

SUNS by 42

Hinkley to say in the post match presser that we've got a long way to go to be as good as the Gold Coast

 

[VineValerian]

Port to lead from go to whoa.
Power by 21.

It's already been lowered to there, if not lower

Too much evidence to argue otherwise

[Chokito]

Ken’s here next year - thats been openly said. So I’m not wishing for disaster this weekend.

Or defence and forwards have all found mojo (apparently)

We shouldn’t lose this… it’s Freo/Dees/Tigers we’ll lose. Prolonging the inevitable

Port by 25+, weather dependent

 

[Adz2332]

Wet we loose
Dry we win

There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.

 

[Alberton Proud]

Could be OK conditions come late afternoon

Hhmmm. Is that a scene from a great movie............or the inner dialogue of us true believers after a decade of having our minds, hopes and dreams repeatedly prison showered by kern, koch and ko?
