Game Day R3 Port v Fitzroy, at the Gabba

[LukeSA]

I can see it, lions kick the first, we kick the equaliser, they kick the next 3 and we will be 1-2 goals down all match with a brief stint in the lead.

 

[Marmozet]

Any idea who is travelling emergency?

Garner? I think that’s him handballing behind SPP

 

[snozulu]

I don't think we have enough fire power up forward to kick a winning score against Brisbane who have a more dangerous forward line at the moment. The only chance we have to win is by winning contested ball and our mids hitting the scoreboard more IMO.

 

[Winganeen]

Nice thread title.

I rekon 1990 Port SANFL side beats Brisbane Bears 1990 AFL side.

I rekon Port 1996 SANFL side beats Fitzroy AFL side.

Today... I think they've got us.

 

[Lawnchair Larry]

Yep same for me. All the tools as you say and a very good set shot. HH has said in the past he is not surprised at some
of the dumb things Dooogs does on field imo this is reflected as a KPD in his short nervous kicking and penchant to punch
instead of marking. Release him Ken and let's see what and why we recruited this CHF athletic phenomenon.

As to whether we win I genuinely don't know. If Polly hadn't marked on the goaline at the death last year they'd have beaten us.
They played a vastly more attractive game that that day and frankly were unlucky to lose.
Yep it's a 50/50 game for us but I reckon we'll get over the line thanks to Scotty Lycett and our other newbies.

So all up my day starts with the
1:12 train to Alberton, then plonk myself down for the Gabba game followed by Norwich City v QPR
Tipping a trifecta of the Maggies, Port and the Canaries.

Can you refresh my memory?
Didn't the Lions score about 4 goals in the last minutes of the game, a tribute to our numerous fadeouts?
If that is so, then it puts a slightly different complexion on the game.

 

[Doctor Feel]

This will be one of those games.

Brisbane by 38 points. Game over at 1/4 time

This. Seriously.

 

[TeeKray]

Our best chance is to bully them in the midfield with our bigger bodies. If we can't win the battle comprehensively there, we won't win.

Thanks for doing your bit for the team, Macca.

Sheesh your stretching my memory bank but you might be right. It was certainly touch n go at the end.
I remember leaving the ground thinking farken hell we won, why do I feel empty.

To be fair to your memory Byrons that feeling of leaving thinking farken hell we won why do I feel empty could possibly describe any game since 2015.

 

[afl2004]

Interested to see the midfield battle , we have a lot more bigger bodies then the 2 teams they have faced so far and 2 rucks to 1.

Forward line efficiency the key

 

[AFC AFeederClub]

im actually pretty confident, i think if Brisbane win then they are gonna have to play out of their skins, but personally i think we will get the job done

 

[Magus]

Hopefully we learnt a bit from the slippery conditions last week and adapt our game style accordingly. Don't overuse the ball too much and don't let them get a jump on us and we should be fine.

Port by 11 points.

 

[simmo_bc]

Should be a great game. Curry on slow cook and a bottle of red to be cracked.

Here is for Dhursma running more than the 17.4kms he did last week, Scullys record is going to fall.

Yeeeeeeeeewww.

 

[edgie]

I see no reason we can't win this by 4+ goals, but we have a habit of doing these things.

Still, I'm feeling more confident than most by the sound of it.

C'mon QPR !!!

 

[ROBBBO]

Stefan Martin DESTROYED us last game with our ruckman woes.

Not this time.

Port by 20pts

 

[Byrons Firen]

C'mon QPR !!!

Nup
City to go up this year. Probably only for a year but up is up and besides we need the money that goes with promotion.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Both teams will be fast and attacking.

If we can be the more disciplined team at not getting sucked into the ball and letting them get outside of us we win.

I think we can.

Geez talk about a spring back jack, amazing leap on him. Zorko Hipwood and Neale are real danger men to us.

I left every win last year feeling empty with that atrociously ugly game plan

 

[Interstater]

Absolute 50/50 game, who wants it more.

 

[Andre]

I was going Brisbane until I heard Sam Gray in. Now to **** with Port supporters I expect us to win, so he hangs around and spuds it up against good sides (hello 2014-2018) for weeks on end. Port by 11 points.

 

[gbear]

I would really like an early birthday present but my head says Brisbane by 10 points.

Scotty Thompson was on Dead Set Morons on the eMs this morning. They said they were expecting it to be slippery and dewy for the game, but it was bone dry during last nights training run at the Gabba that was conducted around game time.
