Imsuprised Port games aren’t illegal in Dubai, the most certain cause of heavy drinking.

First game day thread of the year!

I’ve been pessimistic all summer about this game, but now I’m confident. This could be just like the game against Sydney in Round 1, 2017 where we went up there with a few new faces in the team and all the pressure was on Sydney to win and we knocked them off. Plus, a team that disappoints like Melbourne does could easily slip up in Round 1.

Port by 29 points.

Can’t wait to clean up the melts later today

 

[Forzaport]

Let's get the same result as R1, 2013!

 

[Prison bar Pete]

I'm feeling' jaunty this morning! Picked Ports in the tipping against all logic. Go well lads.

After a pessimistic summer, I'm surprisingly optimistic after seeing a glimpse of a more attacking gameplan and active steps to improve our clear failings of the last 3 years.

We'll need Robbie to have a strong 200th, but if he does and the Lycett/Ryder combo works in practice and Boak and Rocky continue what they started in the pre-season and SPP steps up, along with Hoff continuing his best and fairest form, and one of the debutants continuing our trend of a round 1 rising star performance, we're a chance of surprising their underdone midfield. That is a lot of "ifs", but I have to maintain hope this early in the season for general wellbeing.

 

[Jonts]

I'm going to miss the smell of optimism

Melbourne to kick the first 6 unanswered (9/10 times that happens in Melbourne). Port to climb back... Melbourne to win by 4-5 goals. BOG for Port Westhoff. Oliver with 45 possessions.. ken in a failed attempt will drag Ebert out of the forward line to curb his influence.

Ken to credit the opposition. That's paying $1.05

Would almost prefer an honorable loss over us getting up by a big margin. Just feel we would just get really hyped and then come crashing down when we have our predictable loss against the blues next week.

Big day. It will be freaking hot today and humid.

 

[PAFC04]

My mates and I have hooked up this arvo to our first game. This is their reaction when I said that we will win by 40plus... we have beaten stronger teams in Rd1.

 

[Portwon]

Struggled through the week tired as faark thinking I will sleep in late relax have a beer and ease into the game.

Woke up at 6.00 toey as a long tailed cat in a rockin chair factory.

Ahhh the joys of the Port Adelaide journey.

Caarn boys. Unleash hell on those demons.

Go Ports.

Big day. It will be freaking hot today and humid.

We've copped it rough in the early parts of the season, both this year and last, in the way of having to play in hot weather.
Always 30C+

 

[Contested Marx]

Have tempered my expectations today. That's not to say I'm not looking forward to watching. Just going to be looking at the Spirit of Play and not worry about the result.

Be good to see some life in the club for a change.

Make sure you clean up the crap as well ...

 

[PAFC66]

Can’t wait to clean up the melts later today

Hopefully we've cleaned up our possession..

 

[Cheesey Mac]

I’m feeling really good about today, not sure how much of that is blind hope but I’m feeling good. Great to have the footy back again.

Really hope this rain clears up before the game, walking from the Skybus terminal to Fed Square was fine but since I got here to kill time before the VSG pregame it’s just been a steady rain... Stupid Melbourne weather...

I think this’ll be a close game, I didn’t pick us but I think we’ll be really competitive... I hope we’re really competitive at least

Speaking of weather it’s gonna be 32 degrees with a morning shower ..

Forecast less than 1mm but has been raining steadily in the CBD for over an hour

Also congratulations to Justin Westhoff who now has the longest streak of consecutive games in the AFL after Zac Tuohy missed for Geelong this evening.

When he was drafted if you had told people he would be one of the most durable players ever you would have been laughed at

Amazing


Would love to know what his prep during week or game days or after games is like.
