BYE: Collingwood Sydney​

Fuel the Football Frenzy Here!

 

[TheUnicorn]

Easy win.

 

[CrowToon]

Two teams less deserving of Thursday night footy you could not hope to find.

Will hope for a bombers victory but either way I doubt footy comes out the winner here.

 

[Zevon]

No disrespect to Port but this does look the Bombers chance for their first win.

 

[SC_Power]

Two teams less deserving of Thursday night footy you could not hope to find.

Will hope for a bombers victory but either way I doubt footy comes out the winner here.

Yeah I agree

Port Adelaide (one finals win last season) having ONE Thu or Fri night game this year is too much

Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon and Hawthorn (one finals win last season combined) having a combined 28 Thu or Fri night games is more reasonable. Should have been 29.

As for the game, expecting a close game and who wins who knows.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

This is going to be an absolute murder scene

 

[JackFlash]

Port by 3 goals...

 

[hippyhippy]

Given the media scrutiny on Essendon... they need to respond.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Port by 26

 

[Cam Payne]

Port, but by less than they would have got against my mob.

 

[Freomaniac]

Nah.... I see Port Adelaide giving a beating on Essendon like your crows did on the weekend

 

[parsons nose]

How on earth did this game get a Thursday night scheduling?

 

[SC_Power]

It’s our only one, sorry for not being as good as those Melbourne clubs that finished below us last year.

 

[Mr Meow]

It’s our only one, sorry for not being as good as those Melbourne clubs that finished below us last year.

How many sooks about fixturing are you planning on making this season? I think you've cracked 30 already. World record pace.

 

[Daka]

You can't tip the Bombers, even if they are a chance to win, Port should play Marvel a lot better than the MCG.

 

[voorhees]

ess will do its best to play hard.
power should have enough to do them.
hoping it's a fight till late in the game

 

[timokane]

Port in a training drill by 32 points they will put on a clinic v bombers

 

[Donflicted]

Port in a training drill by 62 points they will put on a clinic v bombers

Fixed

Will go either way we have been ripped apart in the media it will either be close game where we pull out a classic Essendon and win by 1 goal or get destroyed

 

[div12ressie]

this game needs a R18+ rating

port by 70

 

[southern_crusher]

Will be an absolute murder scene. McGrath and Shiel lacing out Port players coming off our half back flank will be horrendous viewing.

 

[Toump Ass]

Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon and Hawthorn (one finals win last season combined) having a combined 28 Thu or Fri night games is more reasonable. Should have been 29.

Yeah that's ****ed. And Pies/Carlton supporters like to pretend they're not getting massive slurp from the AFL.

 

[SC_Power]

this game needs a R18+ rating

port by 70

With that rating, maybe a point less?

 

[SC_Power]

Yeah that's ****ed. And Pies/Carlton supporters like to pretend they're not getting massive slurp from the AFL.

You see that, and you wonder whether going back to a VFL-only should be the next move? Certainly not an even comp in this sense, just remember this stat next time someone wants to discuss AFL distributions.

 

[Xtreme]

A match that on paper both should win, but both can easily lose. A lot of it will depend on Kennys moves on the chess board on the day.

Port Power by an electrifying 88 points.

 

[SA HAWK]

Can't confidently pick either team to win.
