A song
The equation is simple if we want to play finals just keep winning. Last week we covered the Saints, this week it's the Doggies. Hang on, did someone say covered the Saints?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Port by 18 points to keep the tiny flicker alive. Schulz to kick 5 to fire up cognitive dissonance in the Port Board. Charlie Dixon to tweet Good win today could still play finals #WeArePortAdelaide.

 

[Marmozet]

I'll be there. The way this season has gone I find hard to get very excited about things. I reckon it'll be a shootout, both teams scoring over 100 and just hope that we're in front when the final siren sounds. Murphy out for them is huge and hopefully we can cope without Wines, which we did when we lost him before the Hawthorn game in Round 4

Bulldogs are also one team that I can't stand losing to thanks to one dickhead from school, but I've finished school now, but then that's where Facebook comes into play. So anyway, Port by 18.

 

[chachi11]

Port by 44 pts..
Be fairly close all game, then we'll steamroll them in the final quarter kicking 7.1 to 0.7

Johannisen pulled out yesterday

 

[Beats28772]

Not getting my hopes about this one, should be a good game to watch though. The side with the least amount of turnovers to win. Go Port

 

[Dalfino]

Hammer to show us what he can really do in the midfield. Port by 36.

 

[Kingfish73]

Port 36. Bog Robbie Gray. Chad 5 goals

 

[FromTheHartland]

Wasn't confident coming into this round but they're outs are pretty important. Hopefully Moore/young can cover Lollie's inside play. Port by 12

 

[PowerBaz]

Why can't we win based on turnovers, we do it so bloody well.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Johannisen pulled out yesterday

That's probably the best thing to do in order to plan parenthood.

 

[tangolikelama]

Chad 6+

Hartlett BOG

Port by 42

 

[Smartys Power]

Unfortunately not going to be able to watch the game. Let's hope I'll be watching it later tonight because that usually means good things.

Port by 26.

 

[PAFC66]

Look at the reason why Murphy and Prudden are out.. General soreness? Thats pretty cocky of them. If they have that attitude we'll flog them. With or without wines, we did it to hawks.

I like your positivity.

 

[FishingRick04]

Maybe they are willing to lose the battle to win the war? Which is being competitive in finals. Un like us this isn't their last role of the dice. Plus the way we have played this season contempt isn't improbable for our performances

 

[raman]

It's apparently Opposite Day. So what does this mean for the game?

 

[Power Girl]

I will honestly say i have NFI. We could seriously be done by 30+ points if we continue serving up the lazy soft footy we have so often this season OR we could dig deep remember what we are about and how to play fast, hard, tough Port Adelaide footy and carve them up by a solid 40+ points.

Which Port is going to play today?

 

[Greasyrhys]

Gonna be a tough one, seems we haven't beaten the Dogs at Shitihad for 12 years. But if we can play at our best & minimise our turnovers, then I reckon we'll be good odds to win.

 

[*PAF]

If the bulldogs let us play our game we will win. If they clog up the game we will lose.
As I doubt they'll try to clog the game up I expect us to win today.

This!

 

[Jonts]

When it looks like you might be stuvk at work for this game

Ryder to have a field day

 

[Nemisis]

Sam Gray plays a devastating last quarter and sets up 4 goals - we come from 37 points down to win by less than a kick - (what he hell does this mean)

 

[scottjr]

We should have played Mitchell.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

if it bleeds we can k ill it
