Love #gameday . Feeling the nerves for this one earlier than normal, though im fairly optimistic about how we can perform tonight. Hoping to be up for a few goals at 1/4 time

I'd like to say 50/50 game, but reality is that they could thrash us, but it's highly unlikely we will thrash them.

If we play 4 quarters tonight, we will win, simple.

Come on Port!!!

 

[Doughboy]

Will be barracking for you guys tonight.

Let's hope that you can send the purples out in straight sets!

 

[Dalfino]

I feel like there is more pressure on us to beat the Dockers after North beat Geelong last night, but if there is anything that we have to do on and off field today is DEAL WITH THE PRESSURE. Come on boys, we can do this.

Port hasn't been smashed for 13 months (ironically against the same opposition at the same venue), and I very much doubt that will change tonight. If we lose, and I don't think we will, it'll only be a narrow margin. But if we can get off to a good start and shut the crowd up, we're in with a massive chance of booking a date with Hawthorn next Saturday!!!!!

Go play with your dough

 

[Doughboy]

If you look at how other teams have beaten the purples this year, it is all about pressure. Beat them at their own game and their disposal will suffer. When they turn it over, then burn them on the overlap.

Your fitness will play a big part tonight.

 

[pjcrows]

Super contest tonight. I think Freo will get it done purely based on the Subi factor but if you win you'll give the Hawks a shake.

 

[Doughboy]

Go play with your dough

Go play with your premiersh..

Oh wait, that's right!

 

[simpsonwillo]

Should be a great contest tonight. Got a lot of respect for Port and the way they play. You guys are definitely in with a chance here. I'm nervous. If you win,best of luck next week against Hawthorn.

[LFC2010]

Super confident we can win this tonight after last weeks performance. I reckon the lads would've learnt a lot from 2 weeks ago.

Just need to get hands on the ball 1st in the middle is the key, they don't have Ballantyne to rely on this week as they did 2 weeks ago.

 

[mic59]

Hartlett and Wines to tear Fremantle a new one as Freo rely on closing down Boak and Gray. Wingard and Neade 4 goals each.

 

[DonDraper]

I'm normally fine during the week and a wreck on game day. I've been the opposite today. Bring it on.

 

[DonDraper]

I only came here for the Iggy video btw

 

[Jello_B]

Beautiful morning here. Gonna be hard not to hit a pub too early and be w***ered at the 1st bounce.
Gray BOG.
Schulz to kick 5.
PAFC by <6 points is a cracker.

 

[Ant Bear]

I am not nervous. We have demonstrated an ability to rise for big games, and have put away good teams who are undermanned all season. Match them in clearances and contests and our forwards will have a feast. Westhoff, Wingard and Neade to kick multiples, but 4 or more each from Schulz and Monfries. They won't find scoring so easy this time without Ballantyne who kicked a quarter of their goals two weeks ago. Confident that we will win comfortably.
Go Port!

 

[Eddie Dingle]

I would like Port Adelaide to win.

 

[Port_Punter85]

Well a mate(whose a Freo supporter) and I are going to the shithole they call Subi tonight and I despise that ground. However he booked the tickets and somehow got us two behind the goals in amongst the Port members. Gold. Port by 20, shaping to be a beautiful day outside

 

[tribey]

I would like Port Adelaide to win.

I've refrained from replying to this for the past 5 minutes.

After some careful consideration and in consultation with my family, I feel it would be beneficial if I endorse this particular school of thought.

 

[*PAF]

I would like Port Adelaide to win.

I'll need another coffee and a durry before deciding which team I'll go for.

Ah **** it. I'll choose now and go for Port.

 

[Marmozet]

Beautiful day in Melbourne, meant to be going to the pub for lunch later, and Port's playing in a Semi-Final tonight. So WHY MUST I BE SICK NOW!?!?!??!?!
