Game Day Round 11 2017: Port Adelaide v Hawthorn @ Adelaide Oval

[Bumps"N"Grins]

Thursday Night Tradition starts here

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Like Thursday night games but not when its my side playing. Hopefully we can get off to another fast start tonight, as that's key to us being competitive and in the game I feel.

Rather concerned about their run.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

They should whoop us if they're any good.

Shame that timbo isn't playing - he would be great for a goal or two. Is awesome at presenting when we get a bit stodgy

Yeah - miss Timmy. LP - your "vibe" has been pretty spot on this year...are we any chance?

When does the Metaucil kick in? When do you get that feeling in the guts?

Percentage usually speaks volumes as to where a side is at. Port have seemed top four when on song this season. They have smashed sides.

Herculean effort required by a very inexperienced team.

Would love a four quarter battle. If we play four quarters and lose, I'll take it

So that confirms that you are not Brenden Bolton then.

I like that stat someone posted yesterday. That we've only lost one game in total in the month of June in the past 7 seasons.

 

[Hodginator]

Worked for me last week....hawks by 8!

 

[Kil Phearns]

A side on the rise vs. a side in decline. Can only go one way imo...but then I did think the same about the Melbourne game, so I hope I'm wrong again.

 

[Mrzohs]

come on hawks! 6-6 if we win big chance there mids r big n tuff boak, wines, ebert,
just need to shut half back n half forward line.
sicily and tv must perform with tob waiting.
we need this one , crows,w.b,g.w.s in the run home

 

[Nugett]

No changes in the team should hopefully be no changes in our form!

 

[Dewnior]

I think we've turned the corner. Hawks by 8 goals

 

[Leather Poisoning]

No vibe this time I'm afraid.

 

[OzJohnnie]

I think we'll need to turn this into a slow rugby scrum in order to win. While I think this team has the potential for elite games, we're a ways off on skills and decision making, particularly defensive decisions.

So I'll be interested to see if we can clog up the midfield long enough to keep it close at the end and have a chance of victory. I was so disappointed when port beat us at ethihad two or three years ago. Doubly so because a port supporter bet $10 at the pub at 10:1 odds and we gave her hell for throwing away her money when she was standing at the TAB machine. Maybe tonight will see some revenge.

 

[MinerBoy]

What is the issue with TOB anyway?

 

[Agent Smith]

I wouldn't mind tearing them apart, just to make liars out of them.

 

[MinerBoy]

Just hope Port make a game of it and that we don't completely blow them out of the water.

Would love to see Cousins get more game time and Willsmore take advantage of the extra space of the bigger Adelaide oval.

This is my last "TOB" related post but this is what I was keen to see - Cousins wins the ball, Willsmore beautifully kicks it - Timmy marks in a contested situation.

Anyway - maybe TV and/or Sicily slots into this scenario

 

[Agent Smith]

Yep, it's all about my man Cousins. I'm tired of playing with the old toys from last xmas like Burton and Mitchell (oops, and I think I broke that JOM doll), now I want shiny new shit.

Where's this Mitchell Lewis at?

Don't forget Heatherley's spoil out of defense

Speaking of dream plays - the winning play last week involved an awesome mix of old and new.

From memory it was hardwick-> hodge -> mitchell -> Vickery -> Roughead

 

[KermitJagger]

I'm just happy Wingard isn't playing because he ALWAYS turns it on against us. Either way, I think they're too strong around the midfield and run out games a hell of a lot better - Gray will kick a bag, port will do away with us easy.
