[CoastersFlag No.5]

Big opportunity to go top 4 Port. Freo opened the door time for a Kenny extender.

 

[Mayes2Gray]

It's funny how this club has become so inconsistent that even coming off of a record breaking win last week i still don't feel confident about this match at ALL lol.

Here's 5 reasons why I feel like Port will lose tonight:

1. It's a night game at the MCG. A timeslot AND venue that we tend to be shaky in.

2. Max Gawn likes to absolutely KILL us in the ruck and even on one leg he'll still cause us trouble. I like Jordan Sweet but I don't think he'll be capable of keeping up with Gawn in the marking or ground traversal departments.

3. Willie Rioli is super important for us but his record at the MCG is actually kinda awful. He is yet to even kick a goal for us at the venue in a PORT JUMPER.

4. Mitch Georgiades is a massive out and Todd Marshall has been down on form this year. He also had a hip injury around this time last year and it absolutely destroyed his kicking accuracy and movement for the finals series.

5. Melbourne are missing Steven May but they already beat us earlier in the year without Steven May anyway. I also get the feeling that we're suddenly going to make Neal-Bullen and Billings look like superstars for no good reason.

I truly hope I'm wrong about all 5 of these.

There’s no excuse for us tonight. Put simply, Port have to win, and win well, to have any credibility.

 

[YeoShuey]

Demons by 40.

 

[JB1989]

Where are all the supporters? Did they accidentally go to Marvel?

 

[Mayes2Gray]

Love how Victorians will say home ground advantage doesn’t exist at the G, yet in the next breath say that it’s a great opportunity for interstate sides to get familiar with the ground

 

[Red Bull]

Demons supporters out in force tonight

 

[YeoShuey]

Where are all the supporters? Did they accidentally go to Marvel?

Oh wow.

Wonder if they will have less than the 16,000 or so they had the other week?

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Horrendous crowd

 

[SC_Power]

Melbourne tackling well early

 

[SuperSub17]

How could the controlling umpire not see that throw?

5 metres away staring directly at the contest with no players in between…

 

[The King!]

When did covid lockdown start again

 

[danster168]

lol, how is that not holding the ball. petty caught him plum with prior. bloody embarrassing the state of the game.

Should have been a free the other way based on last nights game.

 

[1990crow]

Oliver being played at HF.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Demons by 40.

Is that Demons win by 40 or Demons with 40 more fans at the game?

 

[YeoShuey]

It would be a dream to be a Melbourne supporter at this moment. You can walk into the stadium and almost take any seat you like.

Other teams don’t get that luxury.

 

[SC_Power]

When are the ressies finishing?

Want to see the crowd flood in and the AFL quality football to start.

 

[SuperSub17]

Why is Luke Darcy physically incapable of calling the team in white anything other than “Portelaide”?

Does he realise it is two distinct words?

 

[SC_Power]

Sweet needs to learn that when you’re playing Gawn, you’re allowed to grab the opponent and pull them out of the way. It’s called “aggressive intent” when Max does it.

 

[SC_Power]

Melbourne “whisper of affirmation” wanting a HTB for every tackle.
A bit more crowd needed to make it noise.

Edit: Not that they need it, pressure making us look appalling so far

 

[Mr Meow]

lol, yes you can. We've checked out. Should be a 50-100 point win.

Come on Danny, if Melbourne somehow win tonight it would do Geelong a huge favour.

Let's go Demons.

Looking at Houston closely tonight. Pass. We're paying a first rounder for this back flanker?
