Things will never be perfect, but I'm keen as for the footy to be back and Port to be playing. Seems silly to write off enjoying a full season of football out of bitterness.

Well it will be interesting if this seasons serve a different performance to previous. A thumping may show a bigger hunger, keen to see JHF
For me it is more self preservation.
I'm sick of being let down.

Just regular old optimism.
If I didn't read the flairs, I'd think this was the West Coast equivalent thread

With the forecast heat, I can totally see this being a game where we'll have the battery sign held up on the boundary early in the game. Conserve, conserve, conserve.... Enthralling stuff.

After 19 years only missing 2 games this will be the 12th game in a row I haven't attended
Cheers hinkley and koch , I will always wish you nothing but the worst life can offer

Excited to see JHF after a full preseason, Rozee restoring faith in the #1, how Esava and Aliir work, a slightly bulked up Butters throwing out GAJ vibes, and if Burgoyne, Sinn, Jones, Mead can crack the 22 and become regulars.
Not so excited for all things KK but I’m not letting those fuktards dictate my emotions any longer.

I'm not a big fan of optimism and pessimism but prefer to relax in the realm of realism as best I can.
Lots of good things happening with the playing group, a lot of talent, up and coming players, new leadership group, etc but also an average and stale coaching staff that has had many opportunities and consistently failed on numerous fronts.
It is going to be those two elements that come together as they always do and if the playing group can go beyond the limitations of the coaching which is very hard but not impossible to do.
Round 1 is imminent. Hope springs eternal.

Just like r1 last year when we cut an eventual grand finalists to ribbons at home and won by 54 points
Only to lose to the same team 25 weeks later by 48 points
Then again we did also beat GWS by 51 points at home in r22 then lost to them by 25 when the game had actual significance about it.
Tally ho into 2024! Where we are a very good chance of bottling our year no matter how good we are
I just hope that Luke Schuey starts a fight with Ken on the boundary line and Ken punches him and gets suspended for the rest of 2024 and 2025. I know it may be unlikely but if Leicester City can win the EPL then anything's possible.

None of it matters particularly because we could go undefeated and top, but as soon as we set foot in to the firey cauldron of finals we all know what will happen.

I’ll make tears from your Wines.
Yeesssss!! Footy is back!!
Can't wait tbh.
Getting the old routine back. The walk through North Adelaide with the missus, a quick pint in the Oak, across the road for a pastie at the bakery then the walk down the hill to the game. Seeing all the people I've been sat near for years, the kids being grumpy teenagers now, accidentally singing the oppositions team song as they are all so catchy, not joining in with the clapping because it annoys me being off beat, then heartily singing NTUA before that beautiful buzzer sound and my abuse of Jonas, sorry Dixon, begins! Intermittently peppered with proclaiming my love for Butters and agreeing that JHF is going to be a legend with everyone around me. Then the sigh from everyone when I crack out my first....bloody Hinkley of the game!
HECK YEAH!

Kinda glad I'll be away for the first few rounds.
Yep this sucks.
It is why we can't even enjoy the minor round wins.

We'll miss Pep big time
It's clear that the High Press, Bomb in to a Contest, Manic Pressure game plan is highly dependent on players like him

has dixon's leg fallen off yet
Been doing some digging and research
Can't believe the typical Vic bias media hasn't picked up on this
Travis Boak if selected will break the record for most AFL games played for Port Adelaide
