Don't mind this game in the wet the year before either... one of the best H&A games I've seen.

Not yet, but a big chance tonight.
Given the Crows hatred of Port, who will SA support tonight?
Crows would have to be on the Tigers mostly. If Port knock us off tonight and play Collingwood in finals next year I'm still getting behind Port in that game.
We were terrible back then but ol Terry always had a likeable nature to me, almost like the friendly used car salesmen. Was still taking credit for the dogs 16 and tigers 17 flags, gotta love plough.
Put in place a 5 year plan to get us Dusty, nearly blew it when we sacked him and missed out on pick 1. Just lucky it only ended up in Melbourne's hands.
Tuesdays with Terry a highlight
Port heavily backed last 24 hours
Now into outright favourite at $1.70 v Tigers $2.10

Cheers mate, not sure if the rain will suit either side better?

We love the wet too, far cry for many years ago when we absolutely hated it.
Generally contested bigger bodied mids like the wet which port are, suits us as well with our push it fwd at all costs usually, however tonight I hope it’s not to wet as think we can gain an advantage with lynch and jack up forward.

Port and the other interstate teams did the hard yards at the start of the season. Cry me a river, the Victorian clubs have had to go out of their comfort zone for a season. Instead of playing 80% of games in Victoria. So hard done by!!

Dunno. Don't think theyre too happy about 2017 still. On the other hand it is Port. I think Crows fans will be washing their hair tonight.

It'll be damp, weather bureau havent been accurate in months, generally out by half a day so if theyre saying it should clear by game time it should clear by early morning tomorrow.
Generally I like the Tigers when it rains, but Port is probably one opponent that it might favour more given their relative strength inside and shorter backline might not be as vulnerable in the air.

Haha, what a joke.
I don't think he's crying long term hard done by, I think it will be a relevant question to be asked next week, and it will be. It's a 2020 thing, generally speaking teams don't contend with hubs and being away from home since early season.

I'm totally at peace with the result. We've had our time in the sun, anything from here is just golden.
Port have been the most impressive team all year, they're at home, they have the home crowd advantages which sways the umpires into questionable calls. I'd actually give us a better chance right now of beating a Geelong or Brisbane in a potential grand final than this game.
If we pull this off it would be a very good effort. Just hoping for a good game.

Why? This is the only season where some teams get lots of home games and other teams get none. Brisbane probably should have been sent to a hub in SA for a block of games to even it up a bit.
Yeah, write the season off and don't even play the Grand Final I agree. A farce indeed if a Vic team doesn't win it. Like any year really.
Surprised the AFL didn't break into two conferences and play a VFL conference and an AFL conference (no need to travel to-from Vic then) and then quarantined for 2 weeks into a Superbowl type final.
Or maybe just left the Vic teams to play themselves to make sure one of them won (crown themselves World Champions even), and the rest of Australia can get on with a inferior national comp.

Isn't it stunning how quickly the narrative changes?
If the shoe were on the other foot and Victoria was the team where all teams had to hub, I doubt you'd have posters like above screaming about it being a farce when a Victorian team wins it.
"If you're good enough to win it on the day, you're good enough"
"5 star accommodation"
"Not our fault Victoria has most of the teams here anyway, bad luck"
"Seems like you're using hotels and hubs as an excuse for your inferior performances"
It's all good though, we'll all go back to "normal" next year and it'll all seem like a bad dream......
