Jordon sweet underrated this year?

 

[Geoffa32]

Port Board Member everyone

Ken has Tredrea's support?

From untenable to support with no real change in results.


Kochie did well clamping the biggest agitator against Ken.



I bet the Lemming Tealsters will whoop this up without realising Tredders is now under Koch's thumb.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Surely he doesn't bring Dixon back

Visintini would be a better option.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Put your tipping rep on the line.

Who wins next week?

I'm calling it now. Sydney were watching and plotting and now they're waiting and will ****ing smoke Port next week.

...and I hope this ages well

Agree.

So far I have picked Cats to beat Port (wasn't expecting a flogging though), Port to bounce back last night & then easy win to Swans.

100%

But I was more interested in a board member retweeting and laughing at a clip calling James Sicily “missily”

Very solid performances & only getting better.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I also think Port will smash Sydney. Sydney have been cooked for weeks now.

Lol, what?
Did you miss last week's game v GWS?
Was a quality win.

 

[Cap]

it's going to be a Sydney v GWS GF

And it sill be an epic.

has come out and said he'll back the players whether they are right or wrong

Certainly not how we operate

And the AFL will love it. Think of the ratings in Sydney!!

 

[baldandbroke]

Just on the Ginnivan comment to Grundy … what exactly should he have commented to his mate?

“See u in 14 days, hopefully - I mean Port are a really good team with great tradition and I’d never disrespect the effort we will need to bring as s team to get past such a powerhouse and earn the privilege of meeting your much lauded Swans in a prelim.“

 

[Crow till I die]

Very solid performances & only getting better.

Be like that squid that predicted the world cup winner...keep getting it correct at least for this week coming

Some people might need a reminder about the kind of player Sam Mitchell was. Great player, but a dirty sniper. Him and Jordan Lewis

represented the worst of Hawks culture in that era.

Was “absolutely everywhere” in the words of SEN’s Dwayne Russell during the second quarter, as Port upped the ante around the ground. Poor dissent free kick late in second term. Went into the final quarter with a quad concern and started at full-forward, and delivered big time with a floating snap on goal. Hobbled off the ground in significant pain with three minutes to go with a suspected hamstring injury. 7

anyone know anything more. If he misses they are screwed

 

[jenny61_99]

8 games. Port and Sydney haven't had a double up season since 2015.

8 wins, 5 at AO, 3 at SCG. Five of the last 6 have been at AO.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I actually believe some of Ken’s post match antics is pre-designed to try and win back port supporters that he has lost.

Interesting theory.

Imo, Ken loses control of his emotions when the heat is on.

 

[jackster83]

Who are we backing tonight?

Bedford back for the Giants is huge. Assume he'll go to Neale or McCluggage.

Should be a decent game.

I'm predicting GWS win, then they go all the way to beat the Swans in the big dance.

Just cramp.

Now that it is September he is carrying that side with Butters and Rozee irrelevant in tough games.

Tough for a third year player......much respect

 

[Cap]

And the AFL will love it. Think of the ratings in Sydney!!

I'll watch that.

If it is Sydney v GWS I think it will go close to highest watched AFL Game ever.

Perhaps Brisbane v Sydney could eclipse it.

 

[beartoo]

A Geelong v Pear gf would give Pear players nightmares.

Its a no win for me.

Like both sides would have liked to see both in the GF

 

[Geoffa32]

The reason why they pour so much funding into NSW/QLD junior footy and set up their AFL academy system and access for the 4 AFL clubs.


AFL is a TV league.



SA is the orphaned step child now.

Tough game to pick. GWS smashed Brisbane at home early in the year, and really only beat them at the GABBA due to Brisbane's poor kicking and general flakiness.

I reckon GWS get it done though. And I reckon they make the GF from there.

 

[daniel_4tw]

Probably the best result tbh. Hawks were always going to run out of steam and played a terrible game. Still should have pinched it.

Now Port can go and lose to Swans by 30, they’ll call it an honourable loss, and Ken is safe for another year.
