It’s laughable and just highlights our embarrassing lack of depthDon't like Sinn coming straight back in after a major injury and month off without even one sanfl game

A sick Bont is twice the player than most of oursThe Bont was sick all last week then comes out and destroys the dockers, no excuses please.
Bont was sick against us in that preliminary final.A sick Bont is twice the player than most of ours
Yeah but we’re sick.
G'day Port fans,
Big game!
I realise the mood in here so i won't pretend your team is shooting the lights out. nor will i pretend i know your side better than you. But i think there are quite a few factors in your favour:
- Missing SPP and Rioli seems to have been death for your forward line this year. The best two small forwards by a mile, albeit for different reasons. Getting Rioli back helps a lot.
- It's a tried and true formula - take a football club, smash them in the media, watch them improve. doesn't happen every time but it does happen. Your most disappointing losses this year: Melbourne - smashed essendon the week after. Lost to pies - okay not an amazing win the next week but got a big lead before injuries started to bite. 5 goal loss to crows - beat the cats away. So YES it's been two bad ones in a row but back home the bounce back factor looks primed
- The last game between the two sides at the venue - only a year ago, port struggling in the pre season, lions up at half time, then you absolutely belted us. Also happens to be another early arvo saturday game to maximise our ptsd!
- We did manage to beat you at AO in 2019. but our last win in adelaide against you before that was 2012. we don't go that well there as a rule.
- we have been very up and down this year. we just can't be relied on, not just week by week (we let st kilda kick 16 goals last week and easily could have lost at the gabba) but within games we give team run ons all the time. Port to me seem more than most a confidence team, and make no mistake unless we somehow pull out our dogs away or dees away form, we will allow you to get major momentum at some point, and in an away match that could be terminal
Match-ups.
Rioli is a key one, i'd assume starcevich gets him. very crafty player
Marshall - Payne. Payne was pretty ordinary last time. Marshall should just get on the lead as per his strength, cause it ain't Payne's.
Lord - i am assuming he plays because he killed Harris Andrews last time! Surely harris will improve
Neale - Willem Drew to tag? I'd assume so as the rest of your mids are very attacking so it's not like on tag throws out the balance
BUtters- i am assuming a Berry tag
JHF - Expecting a 'play with' role from Dunkley that at least stops him waltzing out of clearances like last time at AO
Daniher - has to be Aliir?
Cameron - doesn't matter he is mentally shattered. I'd worry about Lohman more
Hipwood - yes no world beater but had a good few weeks, expecting Esava to work him off the ball and not let him run at it
Logan Morris - who? Very raw. But bobs up for goals every week. Seems to know where to go. I think he needs someone to just watch him a bit, seems to be getting away a lot, long may it continue!
Enjoy the game
Yeah but we’re sick.
