Preview Changes and Preview Brisbane vs Ports @ Gabba, qualifying final thread

[manureid]

I mean, we know we will get shafted anyway, but this 100% confirms it. Prepare the lube.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

No we’re not, It’s ******* stupid!

Yeah there really is no way that you can take it too far - its quite possibly the stupidest comment ever made on the eve of finals in any sport on the planet.

What does the analogy even mean? Were the children who got cancer from radiation poisoning decades after our football opponents? Are the innocent citizens who died slowly from treatable burns because the medical help had been blown to smithereens Port Adelaide fans (actually ok that part sort of fits)?

 

[Lefti93]

I think it will be:

In: McKenzie, Lycett, Marshall.
Out: Jonas, Hayes, Evans (S).

I'm not in love with it, believe me. But it doesn't matter a **** what it means to me, you, or the gatepost. It's a way to focus the lads, so if it means something to some of them (who knows what exactly), that's a win. It was a mistake to make it public though

Clearly.

 

[pstew2dstew]

It's no "if it bleeds we can kill it" though.

 

[Poo Eckert]

i have a source that told me we're going to win this game

Do they work in AFL HQ or umpiring department?

 

[Poo Eckert]

Just watching the round 1 replay.

-16 free kicks Port 14 shots to to 11 down 12 points

 

[Lefti93]

Clearly.

Still bumhurt over Darwin Nunez?

and goalsneak Francis Evans are in line to be left out of the 22 after training with the B team at Alberton on Thursday. Boak, who has been the substitute three times this season, including twice in the past four games, looms as the likely 23rd man again.

lol what on earth are you saying? Totally over my head.

I just agreed with your ins and outs, the selection decisions basically make themselves.

I guess if it helps the players play to their best then so be it but will they play their best? Or will they have another 2021esque lapse?? I don’t trust this group, Ive fallen for the hype Port tries to manufacture too many times only to be let down time and time again

 

[Sleezy]

Interesting, from the experts on HumongousSherrin:


Also, lol St Kilda.

 

[Windy Cindy]

how can that happen..what a complete joke the afl is

 

[Windy Cindy]

It'll blow up in their faces

i don't mind it, but any chance we can keep this type of stuff in house

hey ollie how about shutting up and try getting a kick when it counts in the 1st quarter

I think the default tip is the away side.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

People are overthinking this and making it a bigger deal than it needs to be.

Exactly.

The players have been doing this all year, finding a theme for each week and using that to focus their thoughts. This week it happened to be Oppenheimer and this week the media found out the players do this.

The responses to this have been out of context and proportion.

Not the worst thing.
He's now aware he's on watch , might even favour us.

Might not though.

Would you say they have been.....blown..... out of proportion?

 

[True__Believer]

For those in Qld who missed out on a ticket I have one available at face value ($78) section 216 row S.

 

[Handyandy]

Just looking at round 1 stats.
.
Marshall got off the leash with 4. From memory Brisbane’s no 2 or 3 kpf is a bunny.
Dixon took Andrews & kicked 3. Huge effort
Rioli & Jones(wtf) with 3.
Then a bunch of single goals.

Whose going to take Andrews? Marshall?
