As a Crow fan, how will YOU handle it if Port Power win the Flag this year?

[Kane McGoodwin]

Not yet. If they win next week, they'll get their bunnies in a prelim.

Yeah, nah!

I was happy for Danger

Surfer boy can kiss my ass

 

[MrBarry]

Nah. Star power wins finals.

The issue is Port's stars routinely play like crap in big finals and that's because Hinkley lets his stars get shut down easily

Star power does win finals, but when the rest of the team of total dross it doesn't. On a field of 22 players you cant rely on 4 to win a flag and that's been clearly evident every time they get to a final.

Stan Alves?

Grant Thomas.

Port have no bunnies when it comes to September

I think they are now 5 wins and 9 losses under Ken in Finals, 2-3 of those wins were early in Ken’s tenure

It's incredible how long he's lasted skating through off those early finals performances. He's been there over 10 years and it's almost entirely because he had a 2 year Sando spike.

Since 2015 he's played finals in 5 out of 10 years, for a record of 2-6. And 7 out of those 8 were at Adelaide Oval.

Think you may need to wait another week.

Guess we need to bump this. Clearly need to make yet another emotional hedging bet.

If Port win this Friday. They are probably going to win it all.

In life you rarely get what you want but it's not the end of the world. Gotta accept it and move on.

i got port at $18 at 6pm before their game on Friday.

Port haven't list to Sydney since 2016, and beat them by 20 goals last time they played.

They're in the grand final. It's a flip of the coin from there.

Port will 100% win this week because last time they thrashed Sydney.

The GF, where they’ll play a side that belted last time (at home mind you), is 50/50 however.

 

[Rotayjay]

Imagine being embarrassed at home in your first final by 14 goals and then going on to win the flag. If it's going to happen any year, it's 2024.

If Port make the grand final and face Geelong, reversing the QF result in the granny certainly isn't unprecedented. I don't think it likely though - the last time that happened was Hawthorn losing to West Coast at Subiaco and beating them at the MCG.

If Port make it and face Brisbane, that's the real danger. It would be a neutral venue and Brisbane are very flaky. Let's not get ahead of ourselves though, and if they get a flag there's nothing we can do about it.

 

[skam85]

A team that has lost a QF by 50+ points are 12-0 the following week.

They are 0-12 in prelims.

Sydney are in the grand final. It's a flip of the coin from there.

Five of the last six games they’ve played at AO.
