I'd almost written Port off after our showdown win. But the way they've managed to grind out two tough wins against decent opponents has been annoyingly impressive.

Yeah I did - that was the whole point of the discussion. Port demolished Brisbane in Round 1. People then said "Yeah but Brisbane can't travel". I then cited examples contrary to that. And now people are still saying Brisbane can't travel. Perhaps Port were too good in Round 1?
Teams that can't travel don't win Semi Finals away from home against the premiers.

Killing with a smile
Wow, Ken looks smug AF at his presser.
I was talking about this year. So they smashed a bottom 4 team after the 1st quarter who was also playing away but got smashed by middle teams in their other away games this year, what does that tell you?Yeah I did - that was the whole point of the discussion.

I bet his manager has been on the phone. Kochie’s on the hook, getting that contract ready

When did you last live here ? Maybe shut up if you don’t know what you’re talking about
For a supposed top 4 and not just losing but getting easily beaten in all their games against middle teams (until today against a bottom 4 team who held them until the 1st quarter and was also playing away) tell me they can't travel. Sure they might improve this season but right now they can't travel, that's my point.

They can travel, but they have peaked and won't make a grand final.
I was there, a better team would've kicked 40!

Not overly fussed on port, sydney were down 2 kpp's and missed a swag of opportunities. Dogs came here minus one of their star on ballers on very wet night slog and port got up late...good wins but not barnstorming. Collingwood belted them and we powered..pardon the pun away from them at the end
They may make finals but its very hard to see them winning the whole thing at this stage

I come back regularly... why are you offended that most business close very early in adelaide?
Good summary.
If we were to play them again next week, I would be all over us. Same if they were on the road against Melbourne, Collingwood, Carlton or Brisbane.
Golumless
A bigger deal out west.
Nah, it's still funny then because Hinkley is saved at that point for another couple of years, and Port supporters are back in hell for another 2-3 years.
It stops being funny when they break through the glass ceiling and make a grand final. That said, winning games that matter is not something in Hinkley ball DNA.

They can travel against weaker sides and today the Kangaroos were witches hats after quarter time.
North gave up over 110 points from turnovers - that is giving the ball directly back to the opposition. It was literally embarrassing to watch on tv.
Brisbane are flakey and away from home, every team bar Hawks, West Coast and Gold Coast (and Kangaroos) are a chance against them.
But Port are bottom of the free kick discrepancy table. Biggest difference between frees for and against. They’re well in the minus column.
I know the Crows had some decent flogging’s in the SANFL when the injury list was bad a few years ago but jeez nothing like this from the poor WAFL Eagles…
Annoying that this is pretty much one of the main reasons the National reserve league hasn’t been/won’t be brought in
