Game Day Port vs Carlton, Round 20, 2024 @ Marvel Stadium

[Bevoman]

You know, it would be so like Port to come out and win this game, no expectation.

hen wi

With 2 defenders in, we're definitely playing Ratugolea forward.

Unless one of them is sub. In which case, we'll also have gone from 4 tall forwards to 2 in a fortnight. Seems unlikely.

If Jones is the sub they are not keeping up with the Jones boys as my vote would be LBJ for sub

The longer it goes the closer we are to that win. So even in a loss its a positive.

I keep thinking we're closer to a day time loss at home, against the bottom 10, yet we're 37 or 38 and 0 in the Hinkley era.

We are incredibly consistent in our themes.

I suspect tonight will be no different. We go in thinking it's a tough competition, it's really tight and someone has to lose, and we'll lose, and then again the club will brush over the loss as acceptable as they're top 4. Just like the last 20 losses to top 4 sides away from home.

 

[SAweagle]

This has Hinkley special written all over it.

I called the Geelong win earlier in the year and i'm calling this one.

Wayyyyyyy too many rumours of Hinkley to West Coast on our board as well, i'm concerned to say the least.

 

[growly]

Yep.

Away against the top 4 our last win was Round 21, 2015. The Brandon Ahchee and Sam Gray breakout game......

Here's a breakdown:

2024: (0-?) Wont play Sydney or Bris away, Carlton is this week, If Freo hold their spot we play them in the last round.
2023: (0-3) Brisbane (48), Carlton (50) and Collingwood (71) - All 3 of our biggest losses, next 2 were to Adelaide.
2022: (0-3) Geelong (35), Melbourne (14 - TIO), Collingwood (6)
2021: (0-1) Brisbane (49)
2020: (0-2) Brisbane (37), Geelong (60)
2019: (0-3) Brisbane (17), Richmond (38), Collingwood (39)
2018: (0-3) West Coast (42), Collingwood (51), Hawks (3 - Tas)
2017: (0-3) Adelaide (84), GWS (31), Geelong (2)
2016: (0-2) Sydney (67), GWS (86)
2015: (1-2) Freo (7), Sydney (10), Hawks (22)

So since 2015, we are 0 W - 20 L - Averaging a Loss of 41.5 pts.

I remember being at a game early 2019 in the wet in Perth when you beat West Coast weren't they top 4? Year after their flag I think they were but stand to be corrected. I thought that was one of your best wins in kens time

Its only fair that you guys have to have him. We had to take it on for 12 years its time for someone else to do some heavy lifting.

Ken has had the opportunity to say the he will not be coaching West Coast next year and the closest thing he has come to denying it is saying he is contracted to Port Adelaide.

I'd be concerned.


Could be nobody West Coast want are overly keen and you live the sequel " Last Man Standing 2."

If loser Hinkley lands at West Coast, a proud winners club, the original VFLs bogeyman and a former powerhouse of the AFL i will leave the game forever and forbid my offspring from speaking on it.

 

[Drunk_off_R0zee]

Imagine if we beat GWS or GC

Yep.

Imagine if we had beaten Melb in round 3 like we should’ve, or held our 5 goal lead against Collingwood. Ridiculous

 

[Us against the rest]

Ken will treat this game like a preliminary final, oh wait.

They didn’t FINISH in the Top 4 that year.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Have a bad feeling we’re going to pull out a win tonight with Carlton’s outs

I have the same feeling. But I like to think of it as a good feeling because I still like winning

Although Carlton's outs are no more significant than ours. They just get talked up more.

No chance.
Carlton by close to 80
Game will be done at the 8 min mark

The proud winners club has looked worse than Fitzroy of late. He'd be great for you. Got us out of trouble in 2013 / 2014 turNeD thE pLaCE ArOunD

100% it's a done deal. If it was rubbish he's the type that would have called it out, he didn't.
He'll be in their colours next year.
God help help them.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Sweet Sauron, it's Charlie the White!

 

[PAFC66]

Only just realised we're playing tonight

"UnBeLiEvAbLy CoNnEcTeD"

Might watch for the Lols

I haven't watched the last fortnight. First time in a long time I haven't even felt like it. Just a boring pissant club

 

[PAFC66]

Sweet Sauron, it's Charlie the White!

He'll be a white ghost again tonight.

 

[sobrave]

Sweet Sauron, it's Charlie the White!

Can't wait to see big angry face Charlie on a fast dry deck up against weitering lmao

 

[FishingRick04]

Yep.

Imagine if we had beaten Melb in round 3 like we should’ve, or held our 5 goal lead against Collingwood. Ridiculous

Umpires ruined r d 3

 

[PowerLil]

Has there ever been a more overrated footballer than Dixon? I'm sure there are many but crikey.

2015: (1-2) Freo (7), Sydney (10), Hawks (22)

So since 2015, we are 0 W - 20 L - Averaging a Loss of 41.5 pts.

Clear proof that Ken has been coaching at the top of his game for the best part of a decade.......

 

[Ports1870]

Ken if we win tonight

You'd be immortalised in BF history as the guy that started the first of the "Sack Hinkley" threads on thw WCE board...
