Preview Round 2, 2021 vs Essendon @ Adelaide Oval

[Ant Bear]

lots of Ess supporters along with ours seeing this as a walk over for Port. I dont see it.
Ess on there day are a decent team and have some big name players.

Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti is a big name, I suppose...

What is it about Essendon that screams "decent team"? They suck.

To add to this, they're currently third favourites in the betting markets for the spoon, behind Adelaide and norf.

So Hammer in for the injured Bonner. Backing in the pre-season decisions after nobody had a shocker round 1 which is fine. Still reckon there are a few blokes on notice though.


Interestingly the emergency list, so I'm assuming Rocky is still super sub: [11] Tom Rockliff,[12] Trent McKenzie,[19] Mitch Georgiades,[36] Boyd Woodcock
EMG

Woodcock being that high in the pecking order means we might see him sooner than I might have expected. I thought a few of the other young blokes might have passed him (Mead and Williams in particular)

What are the chances we'll get to see Hammer start forward?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Gee Carter must’ve had one hell of a reputation considering he was 16 and not playing in the game!

Lol jumped the gun there

 

[Ford Fairlane]

According to the AFL app, Rockliff is an out with Bonner, but there is only one in.

Confusing days indeed.

 

[JimmyBC]

Ahh jeez those big tough Essington geezers might target Raz eh.. lets all sleep with the lights on

Confusing days indeed.

Could be an inadvertent reveal that Georgiades is the Medi Sub tomorrow?

 

[RossFC]

I reckon Bergman just gets pushed up the ground and Hammer goes into the back pocket.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Could be an inadvertent reveal that Georgiades is the Medi Sub tomorrow?

Could be if there's some concern about Marshall.

45% of home games in 2009-2019 having some kind of rain is absolutely ridiculous!

We exist to win premierships and make our community damp.

I'm disappointed we won't be seeing Irving Mosquito on the field tomorrow. Hope he makes it back from that knee injury.

He's got 18 knees so it's not that big of a deal.

Confusing days indeed.

When a player comes on as the sub they are seen to have played the game, so when the teams are announced it's saying he's been dropped despite the fact he'll be the sub again.

The afl credits them with the game whether they come on or not

Imagine being dropped from a team you didn’t play in yet still getting the game on your tally. What in the actual ****?

Sundays at AAMI Stadium were horrific, and the miserable bus ride home out of that swamp to face moron Crowd supporters at work the next day

 

[Doctor Feel]

I suddenly have a very bad feeling about this after tonight's umpiring.

We are in deep shit. Expect it to be a 40-15 frees against type game.

Williams doesn't work hard enough without the ball, a long way from ones at this point in time!

The state of my footy tips at the moment actually makes me think we will lose this game.

I’m expecting to see Ken sitting there sulking and doing nothing as we get out worked and overran in some sort of strange one in a hundred years type phenomenon (except it happens more regularly than that) and losing a game to a team that has no business beating us or even coming within 10 goals of us. Dear lord I’ve become Macca. Do you want salt with your minimum chips?

I’m on the hill today first time ever, what a great view

Worse I am paying for drinks for my 18yo and me. We are the only real Port supporters in my house... well TBF one is a crow
