I reckon GWS will win their way back around and we'll end up with an all Sydney GF from here

 

[240volt]

Don't want to sound rude but I call bulldust!

When’s the last time we was 13 points up 23 minutes into the last qtr and lost?

 

[PJ Power]

Would love for GWS to go over to the MCG in a fortnight and touch up Geelong.

 

[Dazalinko1988]

Funny how both coaches were shown on screen being involved, vocal and doing what coaches are actually meant to do then there's Ken on the bench in our games swiging on a coke zero thinking of where he's gonna travel this off season

 

[240volt]

Hinkley wouldn’t have that sort of lead

True, we struggled to get a 112 point lead on Sydney.

 

[JimmyBC]

On another note is that the third final between the Sydney teams? How crap is football in South Australia eh managed 1 final between the two home town lightweights in a footy heartland in the best part of 30 years lol

 

[Marmozet]

GWS have won at least 1 finals in every finals series they've made, so they won't go out in straight sets.

The other Top 4 team that lost however...

I wouldn’t put money on that.
If they land Brisbane it’s a 50/50 game.

and daniels had there worst games of the season in the same game was very costly

Would love for GWS to go over to the MCG in a fortnight and touch up Geelong.

They've won a preliminary final at the MCG before.

 

[JimmyBC]

They've won a preliminary final at the MCG before.

I've always wondered what that would be like.

 

[philreich]

I've always wondered what that would be like.

They also lost another one there last year by a point.

If any team can, it's them. If lions beat them next week then cats will beat lions IMO

 

[Marmozet]

GWS are 23-0 when leading at 3QT under Adam Kingsley.

Make that 23-1

 

[Marmozet]

We were 3-0 over Geelong in QFs before this weekend, but that became 3-1, and GWS were 3-0 over Sydney in finals in general but that also became 3-1.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Before the game at the Gabba starts gotta say how impressive Nick Watson was last night.

I thought taking a 170cm small forward -mid with pick 5 was a mistake.

Watching him last night I thought he reminds of someone from 20-÷30 years ago but couldnt think who.

I reckon Brad Johnston on SEN before the QF preview started, in the words of Tubby Taylor at the Diving, nailed it, when he said he thinks he is a Brent Harvey

clone.

Harvey started as a smart little forward, blistering pace then became a great midfielder using his smarts and speed to beat the bigger mids.

Harvey cut Port up for 20 years. I dont know if Nixon will last that long, but I reckon he will cut us up like Harvey did, this Friday night.

 

[PowerBaz]

Thats the difference between a great football club and Port Adelaide

We are mentally so weak.

In fairness it would help if we or the Crows could draft every gun South Australian junior for a bunch of third and fourth rounders like they can.

Arguably best on ground last year against the Pord Adelaide Magpies, playing off half back.

 

[Portmagpies36]

That was in a final was it?

 

[SC_Power]

Port Adelaide $2.25 outsiders for next week
Hawks $1.60
With all the pressure off, I reckon we can book our flights to Sydney for the prelim.

Imagine how different history might look if the 2002 Prelims went the other way.

Hard to believe it was that close a possibility given the state of play over the past umpteen years.

It's still surprising though you'd think in a football mad environment dripping with history it would happen more often.
