Game Day Port v Hawthorn @ Etihad, Round 21 2015

[Port01]

At least we provide an off-season challenge for Gil. How is he going to screw us over with the 2016 draw when we get more double ups against teams 7 - 12 rather than 1 - 6?

If the ladder remains as is today I would put money on:
Freox2
Sydneyx2
Adelaidex2
Geelongx2

I just cant work out who they will give us from the bottom 6. I will guess Brisbanex2

 

[Black 18]

Could be a tough night over there.

If we play too far off the opponent they will slice us up and it will be very ugly, can't afford to give the Hawks time and space to use the ball.

Make it personal, make it tight, be prepared to play 1v1, and hope our better players are having good games, then we're in the game.

I really want to see defenders defend without relying so much on team defense. Team defense is vital but it also breeds a mindset of players hoping others will do the hard yards.

Can't give these guys any room at all.

 

[Black 18]

Possibly.

But I have a distinct advantage, I have a brain and a moral compass.

 

[mic59]

I'm looking forward to seeing us have another crack at Carlton tonight.

That would just mean another game decided by the umpires.

Whoever it is, you just know they'll be one of the big improvers next year, just like the Bulldogs this year...

My tip is we'll get Gold Coast twice from that group!

If we land dixon, you can just about stake your life on it.

Freo doesn't bother me, they are the ageing boxer with one last fight in them. Sydney I'm sure we'll get as we suck dog balls. After losing to WC at home I'd tip Sydney and WC from the top six. Obviously Adelaide. And if Bulldogs miss the top 6 then them after they destroyed us at the Dome. Adelaide I don't care about, without Trengove injured last year or giving away our home game this year in all but name, we'd be 4-0 without things outside our control.

I hope Adelaide wins week 1 and is flogged week 2 of finals. Suck shit Gil if one of our top six games is one we have to double up anyway.

Gee, how lovely are Hawthorn posters? Lovely bunch, so respectful!! /sacasm

Their gameday supporters are generally very good - it's the Bigfooty one's which are quite toolish.

 

[Byrons Firen]

Hold them in the 1st 1/2 at least coz if it blows out early and the umps revert to type(campaigners)we're in trouble.
They'll start kicking them from everywhere while we are argueing with the umps and making clangers.
Stay with them and the pressure goes the other way. This biffo hard stuff anti-social footy will be a rod for our back
if we don't back it up with committed skilled ball use.
Stick with them early Port and who knows.

 

[StuMan]

I was supposed to be going out tonight, but I've been feeling crook the last few days. So I'll be home watching this, hopefully it doesn't make more sick.

I hope we play hard, tough footy all night and don't get blown away.
Hoping to see Ah Chee pick up from where he left off last week and Butcher smashing in to some Hawthorn defenders.

Part of me thinks we're in for a hiding, but another part thinks we're every chance to win.
I don't know what to think really. I know we CAN, but who knows if we WILL.

Stu pls, going out is for losers.

Having Adelaide 3rd on that list is quite weird positioning.

 

[Jello_B]

Have been overseas for a month and haven't seen a game. I'm just happy to be watching our team play again. Expect a decent game. Looking forward to seeing Butch and Ah Chee (and strangely S Gray) play.
Would have liked to have seen Amon in the team as well. Is he crapping it up in the SANFL?

 

[John the Butcher]

20 mins until subs...

[klem22]

Not really sure what to expect tonight!
I expect Port to be chasing jumpers if the coaches have not done some decent work and the players will have to be at their best to come close. But there is always hope

 

[PowerbaII]

Mitchell is the sub and David Hale is a late out!

 

[John the Butcher]

#yepconfirmed:
-Mitchell sub
-Hale is out for the Hawks with general soreness. He's been replaced by Duryea

 

[port09]

Cant see us getting within 10 goals tonight.

 

[FallingLiefs]

So with a late omission they've actually got stronger.... Great.

No Hale at least give us versatility with Butch.

 

[RossFC]

That helps our backline a lot.

 

[John the Butcher]

We should be in our home guernseys shouldn't we?
If we aren't, somethings wrong because apparently we don't clash at AO

a tall goes out and a small comes in ...

 

[Cam1870]

I was kinda hoping it would be the Arch - so we could then drop him back to the 2nds to get more game time next week.
Some people just like to watch the world burn.

Carn port. Get amongst it.

 

[Shane_Mag]

As long as we keep the game close I would be pleased.

 

[Waspy79]

Hale was probably named thinking we would name Lobbe. I'm not surprised to see him a late out.
