Game Day Port vs Giants

[davo999]

Happy straight sets day guys.

Giants by 41

Let’s hope the players have better mind set than this

 

[backtozero]

As flat as I have ever been for a final involving Port all the way back to when I started following them in the early 80's.

Part of me is thinking that a loss would be the best result for us as it will put more pressure on the muppets in charge.

Plus I can't see us getting anywhere near Collingwood next week as our players will get stage fright once again in a prelim.

There won't be any pressure. They'll all go into hiding until the preseason.

I think theirs is probably worse lol

So many negative nancies here. When the finals started we were one “should win” and one great win from a GF. Tonight is the should win.

It’s toeing the line to be a negative nance on here . Team lovers get derided

And yet they're happy to run it back next year. Boggles the mind.

This is a great thread title though. Captures the essence perfectly.

I was awake at 11:30pm last night toying with the idea of creating a fantastic game day thread at 12am but I decided to sleep. This will do.

It didn't even have the Game Day thread tag until some happy clapper mod decided to edit it.

Port by 37

Trying to think positive...

All I got is after tonight we will all have a better football/life balance.

 

[Doctor Feel]

I reckon we will win just to prolong the pain

GAME DAY Port vs Giants semi finals are scary but Oppenheimer wasn't built in a day (to season blown up ... LOL get it?) New, Caligula orgy scene inside

You get to a stage where you just want all the pain to end.

 

[Rendaw]

Guess I should start drinking to numb the pain coming up

Tribey pulled out a stat that in all knockout finals we've played since 2014, we've been beaten by a side we beat in our last clash that year.

2017 beat WCE in reg season, lost in final
2020 beat Rich in reg season, lost in final
2021 beat WB in reg season, lost in final.

Bodes well

Can't believe I somehow paid $100 for the misery of going to this.

Previous years I've been a mix of excitability nervous for Port finals. Today, nothing.

Feels like a scam.

BLOODY WELL SAID

Yawn.
* sighs *

Well....... we could win. We should win.
We may not win.

Going with #1 son tonight.
Picking us by 11 points in an error ridden, hard to watch scrap.

Not sure what side will take the field - hard nosed, tough, resilient, proactive, team focused, never say die!
Or feeble, lacklustre, reactive, 15 sheep waiting for half a dozen committed wolves to do all the work and get us across the line with individual brilliance?

Do I really care anymore?
Yeah, I probably do. But after 59 years, especially the last decade, I'm hanging by a thread.

Everyone should rightfully be laughing at this club's failure to sell out a home final

 

[spookism]

I'm just looking forward to the Giant's social media go to work post-game.

Tell us what there is to be positive about. We allegedly exist to win premierships - or at least we used to. But do you honestly think our grand final drought will end this year?

Has anybody from the club or media rolled out the "cost of living" excuse yet?

It is actually the Cost of Apathy.
