Game Day Ports vs. Saints

[GremioPower]

Ports by 36pts.
Have to work tonight.
So I'll be watching from Lizbeff Tavern.
Well, that's if I make it across Elizabeth Way...

Well, that's a way of being naughty, isn't it? I won't say "bad" because his aim seems to be good...

Is this Adelaide?

I have a bad omen: Our results from JLT came true in the season.

Lost to Richmond in the JLT - Lost to Richmond in Round 15.
Beat Hawthorn - Beat them in Round 11
Lost to St Kilda in the JLT - ???

No. Elizabeth. It's a favela north of Adelaide

I'm bringing my Port supporting mother and auntie to their first Adelaide Oval game this arvo. We've got GA tickets, and they would prefer to have seats than to be standing on the hill.
How early should we arrive, and which area is best for guaranteeing a seat for us all?

Looks middle-class neighborhood for Brazilian standards...

Actually parts of it are very much Sao Paulo Favela standard and maybe as safe. It's not great out there that present a community that is dying by Australian standards.

In order to help your auntie and mother out, I wont be there today due to beer and bbq fest, so if you want to you can use my 3 reserve seats in the southern end? PM me if you are interested.

I hate when we have these threads and a bunch of people take the game as a certain win. Just like they did before the Tigers game, the Bombers game, the Melbourne game and the WCE home game.

I always feel like that mentality is reflected by our players, and as a result I'm really not surprised by those losses.

We haven't earnt the right to be cocky or to treat games like this as 'given'.

Can we win, absolutely. Can we lose, absolutely. The Saints are an ok team and if they get their game going we could be in trouble.

Personally I'm concerned about our mental state after another failure and I just think this game in tough conditions has another loss written all over it.

I hope I'm wrong.

Very uninspiring game day thread so far.

I'll be there as usual but a night on the couch with a bottle of red is very appealing.

Port by 18pts, congratulations to TJ - I've always been one of your true believers.

Brett Eddy played three games - Brett Eddy played three games.

 

[StuMan]

Win or lose, I think we're are in for a shit game with this weather.

I tipped us, but dismissing the Saints (or our ability to lose) as no chance is foolish.

 

[tangolikelama]

Given the wind I've backed us to kick 13+ behinds in the first half @176

Lizbeff taven was better in the old days before Target when it was the Lizbeff hotel

 

[Steve Dore]

Gee if the wind sticks around it will play havoc!

Some serious wind gusts.



Trying to rain already at my place.

Hoping Jarryn Geary does a Cotchin and kicks with the Sou'westerly if he wins the toss.

Agree 100%. Think we will know the answer in the first 20 minutes as you normally do with Port games.

 

[FishingRick04]

It's cold so I have to go?

 

[Shane_Mag]

Not overly confident but hopefully the players are fired up after last weeks dismal performance.

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Wow... cheer up guys, its game day....

Its the only day of the week my girlfriends doesn't complain about me watch the footy.

Port on paper have the advantage. Port by 40, Dixon to kick 5, I think Grey will spend more time in the middle, but will walk away with 2 goals and no free kicks for.

Not sure whether to be jealous of, or take pity on, you.

Send pictures of said girlfriends and I will be in a better position to make a decision

 

[PAFC66]

Worried about this one particularly if the weather is bad. Footskills are bad enough in the dry without wind.

St Kilda by 12.
Crowd 26k

Just noticed my grammatical error.... there is only one....

If I'm really lucky, she will also bring me beers during the footy.

She is too good for me

Whose confident? I've seen a bunch of posts, that given other results have gone our way, we're good odds to do the usual 'let's **** it up, instead of grabbing the opportunity to get a break on teams' Port routine.

Can usually tell in the first 5 minutes if the boys are switched on or just being plumbers.

If St Kilda bring the pressure and intensity we're in trouble
