Preview AFL 2024 Preliminary Final - Swans v Port Fri Sept 20th 7:40pm EST (SCG)

[voorhees]

With Marshall out, that hinders the power for now they are back to a broken down Dixon.
Not good at all.

 

[MVille Swan]

Our best is better than Port's best. So, if we show up, we should win. We may get a bit of help from

's ump/crowd "affirmation" factor (or does that only apply at the MCG) as I can't see too
many Port fans travelling. Though at $207 for a ticket, some of our recent bandwagon fans may decide to
stay home too....

Sydney Swans comfortably,home ground advantage, best team all season too.
Port are a little battered after Hawks game, no walk in the park, their defense decimated and no Marshall,
can't see Port wining this game. Last week was their Granny.

 

[The Gong]

I thought we'd start favourites but I have to say I'm surprised at the betting odds for this one considering Port gave us a hiding not that long ago.

 

[PCORF]

Tough game to pick.

Port have been very good vs the Swans in recent years. They'll go in as huge underdogs and with nothing to lose. The Swans should be feeling good after their dramatic and stirring QF win over GWS.

The Swans have never won the premiership from top spot since they moved to Sydney but have always made the GF.

I'll toss the Coin, Swans by 1 point.

 

[Rod Stroker]

That's a serious streak that Port have with the last 8 wins against the Swans. Can clearly win at the SCG. I think the streak ends this week though.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Port in a tight one. Swans seem to be their bunnies

 

[YeoShuey]

Coin toss. I would not be shocked if the result is decided by a free kick in the last minute.

4 more sleeps!

Hope Kenny gives the boys a rev up.

We definitely match up well against them. They’re strengths aren’t in areas where we are weak.

We suck against teams with strong small/half forwards. Sydney aren’t particularly strong in that department. Papley could be the difference though.

It will come down to the midfields.

I hope he has confused them for cars too.

With everything that Albo touches turning to sh!te, could this mean a Power vs Lions GF given the little weasel has also cursed the Swans and Cats?

 

[MF]

your run either ends this week or next!

What a brave prediction

Well...

 

[Freomaniac]

Expecting Sydney to win

But as Port thrashed them the last time they met, I'm not sure how they can win this time ?

I call bulls**t on your post.

You and I know one thing.... Ken Hinkley will control the outcome of this game lol

Swans will smack em good and proper this time.

Sydney don't have the grape fruits to go toe to toe with JHF and the Port Adelaide players. It's going to be a Powerful victory.

JHF is averaging 18 touches/5 clearances per game this final series. I think they can manage alright.

Koch confirmed Ken's coaching next year. Swans by 90

Could be worse....

To quote Malcolm Turnbull; ' I go for the Roosters in the AFL'

OMFG.

Smarter move by Koch would've been to say it's grand final or bust for Ken.

 

[juss]

In any other circumstances, this would be an easy tip being Sydney, however the oddity of Port Adelaide being so good against them for so long, it brings it closer to a 50/50.
