Game Day R1: Port v Brisbane

[philreich]

Ports by 7 points - Ollie and Boaky 35+ possessions - Butters 4 goals.
Ken "Big Footy you was wrong"

Sorry Ken, but as meritorious as a win at the Gabba would be, it wouldn't wipe out the preliminary final disaster.

hahahaha this is classic......before the ball has even been bounced!!

 

[Educatednuffy]

Wish: If we lose by less than 10 points I'll be happy.
Reality: we will lose by 30-50 points - they'll kick 6 in the first 15 minutes, and even though Hipwood isnt playing with an ACL, he will kick 6 goals.

yeah, because past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

unless you are a long suffering Ports supporter

Have you not watched Port Before ?

I still remember the game a few years back where you guys done us by over 100. I've never recovered any confidence even with our recent wins lol

 

[JUSTWORK]

Every day we don't Sack Hinkley we have lost.

Sammy KF Gray kicked 3 that day. Took a screamer - those were the days

 

[StuMan]

I got Kodi/Kayo set up on my Series X, so I can rage quit this at QT when we are down 0.3 to 6.4.
Football is back, baby!

Conversely, we stood in the pouring rain watching a 47pt lead at the 24 minute mark of the third quarter lead become a 20pt loss.

And tried not to destroy out televisions when a 10-goal first quarter worthy of the Harlem Globetrotters — THE VERY NEXT YEAR — became a 15pt loss.

The 37pt upset defeat up there in 2015 was also the Big Bang for “oh, this guy actually isn’t much chop is he?”.

Just as I was trying to find a reason for optimism……thanks for that.

I already moved on to Round 2 weeks ago.

I moved on when the draw came out, was literally like oh well season starts round 2 for us

 

[shewho]

There is so little enthusiasm for this one. The worrying thing is that I learnt after 2004 that many of the same emotions the fans have, so too do the players.

The bizarre thing is that we’ve been top 4 in the last two years with a young squad. There’s no team we can’t beat on our day and we are bound to get more improvement from Georgiades, Rozee, Butters, Duursma, Bergman, Sinn, Jones, Marshall than we lose from Boak, Gray, Jonas, Dixon. Our natural trajectory is up- we should be excited but we’re not.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Im just gonna have to work really hard to get excited about this year.

Like tonight, if we lose, **** losing. I want to win.

But if we win, we probably meander through another season with 16-17 wins mostly against bottom 10 sides, bomb out of the finals when it gets tough, then again miss out on top end draft picks due to our ladder position. And whats worse no change will come in 2023 because of another successful "win/loss" record.

Im sure Ill get to the point where I get delusional enough to believe this might be our year again... but its gonna take a few rounds.

[JimmyBC]

The Chuckless forward line is my real interest for the next few weeks.

 

[Fizzler]

Ports by 65

 

[Macca19]

Still thinking Brisbane by heaps.

Doesnt feel like Round 1 today. I don't think i've ever felt less enthused for the first game of a season before.
