Game Day R3 Port v Fitzroy, at the Gabba

[Andre]

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

You'll still enjoy your 21st

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.

Brisbane are a good side now so that means he’ll struggle tonight.

 

[Incarnate]

Cracked the first bevvy, mate picking us up in 45 to have a couple pregame looseners then heading in to the Australian for a couple more of the same, should have my whistle nice and wet by the time the game is on. Usually sit in the brions members but also got the member ticket from the club. Any other peeps sitting in section 13? Is it any good?

 

[SteppingTiger]

about to head to a mates place for pre game drinks and a bite, before busing in to the Gabba. Very nervous, and almost not looking forward to it, attended far too many Lions wins over Port. Been a shithouse week, so a win will be most welcome!

 

[Del165198]

just got the feeling we'll get pantsed tonight
brions by 41

 

[Weez]

A good start would be nice.....

Hopefully the conditions suit the Gray inclusion.

If we turn up we will win. Just.

 

[Forzaport]

I'd be disappointed if Sam Gray kicked less than 5 goals. He's primed.

 

[Nemisis]

Port will dominate the ruck/centre clearance - Port by 27. Sammy Gray to kick 3.3 with 33 possies BOG

Id be happy if he hit 5 targets

The closer the game gets, the worse I feel about it.

Lol. I feel closer to 50 after my past 2 shifts at work than 21

 

[PepeSilvia]

Ports to win.

 

[LukeSA]

The closer the game gets, the worse I feel about it.

Yep... that nagging little thought of us being the less shit of 2 shit teams.

 

[Visenfest]

Lions by a few goals, but if we win it'll be because we won the battle in the middle. Lose the clearances and we're in trouble.

 

[PJ Power]

I’m of the unpopular opinion that our forward entries and goal scoring are still poor, and that the wins against Melbourne and Carlton were actually not that great.

Meanwhile I think Brisbane have been impressive.

But I also reckon we haven’t seen the best of us yet and that we are due to produce a much bigger performance tonight.

 

[Steve Dore]

Car Ports, just win farken!

Sam Gray to kick 3 goals.

Brisbane by 21 points.

 

[Steve Dore]

... the wins against Melbourne and Carlton were actually not that great. ...

The two teams we have beaten so far are both winless after 3 games.

Carlton's effort today against Sydney wasn't too bad though.

 

[PJ Power]

It will make a big difference tonight if Westhoff, Ryder and Robbie Gray can all play at or near their best in our forward line. Westhoff to resume his marking and goal-kicking form from round 1. Gray to find separation from his opponents and be more clinical with his finishing. Ryder to get more involved in leading up to the ball, and rising high to take marks ahead of his defenders. If these three have big ones, then I'm confident adequate support will come from Ebert, Motlop, SPP, Sam Gray, Rozee and Butters, and we'll kick a much bigger score than our back-to-back returns of 87 points.

I also am looking forward to seeing a midfield of Duursma and Drew on the wings and Wines, Boak and Rockliff under Lycett's tapwork in the centre-square.

Carn Port.

 

[Manhattan Bronx]

Hate night games, already 3 drinks deep.
Not sure how to feel about tonight. Not feeling too confident. Hope Rocky and Wines have standout games.
Brisbane by 19.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Far out I thought the game starts now

 

[Magus]

If anyone can carve us up it's C. Cameron. We don't handle these nippy small forward well. Gotta win the midfield battle and play it in our half as much as possible. Take shots where you can get them instead of trying to hit up impossible targets. I'm looking at you Ryder.

 

[Magus]

Westhoff needs to lift this week.

 

[JAlexG]

At least we're having pings at the sticks. Not like when players are within range ****ing with it and trying to find a better more 'perfect' option instead of just backing themselves in and giving it a roost.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Current mood

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Hoping Brisbane have been drinking the bathwater.

We should really be in this game in terms of the midfield battle but I'm a tad worried how Wines fits back in he won't be match fit etc. I don't want it throwing the others out of whack.
