Game Day QF.2 Port Adealide vs Geelong, Thursday Sept 5 2024 @ AO 7:40pm (AEST)

[Heckler]

There are 4 main areas of concern :-

1: Home Ground Advantage
Must get of the a fast start
Don't over use possessions
Kick at goal when with range
Nail all set shots at goal
Early lead to take fans out
Don't panic. Stay composed
2: Powers centre clearances
Cats midfield group has improved
Stanley is in reasonable form atm
Power won't jump us at the start
Tag JHF, block and distract tactics
3: Conceding multi quick goals
Cats will bring defensive pressure
Respond after 2 goals don't wait
Control momentum via game tempo
Hold up returning the ball quickly
Unsociable football if required
4: Stop easy opposition intercepts
Steady and hit leading targets
Kick deep to the goal square
Use low fast chaos kicks into F50
Employ defensive forward - SDK
Prevent fast rebound clearances

[Commando]

If not us who?
If not now when?

 

[CHAWKTS]

Late change on…forced..not one we are going to be happy about

 

[Commando]

Can everyone smell it?

I love the smell of finals in the morning!

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Who psyched you out already - local media or Port side of the household?

I have watched a lot of port first hand and up close this year. I think having a front row seat to the Rozee-Butters-JHF show is what has me rattled.

They're good enough to make Aliir bored and Sav look like a superstar forward

 

[Finknottle]

You would have to think that if we somehow pinch this then Kenny is done at PA, we have a good record of killing coaching careers.

But PA will have another home game next week. So Hinkley will be still alive.

Stewart is what i am hearing

That changes everything doesn't it

Cameron out

Rohan in

If that's the case, surely we should have had Ted as an emergency

[Gee Class Loco]

That changes everything doesn't it

If true... it does.

 

[Munich]

Cameron goal from the boundary 50m out after the siren for a 1 point win would be delicious, id also settle for a 119 demolition job.

Either or

Hasn't that been said before every final Port have played in.

They've still done SFA and not sacked him.

 

[Hamingja]

Cornes says Scott can be best coach ever if we lift the cup this season …. Hmm he is up to something.

If we were to win this year it would be the best coaching effort since Clarko in 08 at least.

 

[Tony Barber]

Love to hear his opinion on Kenny Hinkley if Port lose!!!

Hinkley is not going anywhere. No matter what.

Well that just ruined my day.

I was becoming quietly confident. If Stewart is out then we are now massive underdogs. I was relying quite heavily on his changed role vs last time we played port.

 

[CHAWKTS]

Cameron out

Rohan in

While I won’t speculate….

There will be melting…but not quite that much…

Agree with all of this.

It would definitely push the dial towards miracle rather than realistic.

If we won tonight without Stewart we would just about become premiership favourites.

 

[Mr Meow]

Is it Stewart or some other change? Don't leave us hanging.

 

[Munich]

FFS Stewart?!

 

[_Game_]

Few people on SEN flagged Stewart a late out so must be him.

 

[cats_09]

While I won’t speculate….

We getting Irish double delight

 

[frggr]

Feeling pretty good about this because the result doesn't really matter all that much. Didn't expect us to be a threat this year, but here we are
