Game Day Round 3 v Sydney, @MCG, Sunday 2 April

[Dory_77]

I'd like to think we can't play any worse than last week, but against a very tough opponent that could be tested. Sydney have had our measure for years, so not particularly confident of a win but a positive showing after last weeks shitshow would be great.

Even so, there's some excitement this week with May's return and the debut of JVR! Keen to see how the kid goes. At least we're being more active at selection.

Team:

I can't see how we lose.

Well, other than game plan, effort, skill, talent and belief.

At least it's not Ports midfield. They are very strong!

Going down to Sydney and Brisbane in consecutive weeks would definitely dent any confidence in how seriously we're contending. It's probably the perfect game. At home vs an opponent we always struggle against. Heat is on if we lose.

It should be, but then we have West Coast, Essendon, Richmond, North, Gold Coast, Hawthorn to paper over the cracks.

Need to get a win against good opposition considering we don't play a likely top-four team again until KB.

**** that runs annoying. Most likely win em all and not work on anything in relation to proper ball movement

I think we'll know in the first 5 minutes whether we 'came to play' or not. The midfield was beyond pathetic last week with their effort and defensive intent. If that repeats itself Gulden will have 40, Parker 30, Rowbottom and Mills 25 each and Heeney will kick a bag. Time to switch on and start winning on our home deck.

 

[netslave]

Will be very disappointed if our midfield doesn't respond this week, hoping JVR at least competes well and can maybe snag himself a few goals.

Hopefully the opposite, gives the team the confidence to actually take the game on.

Port have the greatest midfield ever assembled. Ollie Wines is the greatest player to ever play!

I would take Butters though.

Nah, just scheduled the thread to go up then. I'm not that keen

 

[Johnny Karate]

7 years ago on this date that we lost to the Essendon top ups. Good times.

You better be first with knowledge of all injuries or else

Ill have a far better view on the third deck of the Warney stand than you will on TV for sure. Dont argue with my opinion.

 

[Crusty Demon]

The only team I've never seen us beat live! God I hope today's the day!!

Congrats Clarry! If It wasn't for Robbie I'd say you were the best mid I've seen in the red n blue. Amazing to say hes already one of our greats at 150 games! Cmon boys!

Didnt we lose to Adelaide and Collingwood in our premiership year with the "best midfield" ? Port are right on track.

Make sure you tell me how well Pickett plays in the ruck in-between looking up from your plate

Is May going to be a late out again?

So business as usual?

 

[RUNVS]

Glad Gawn isn't playing as he always goes into beast mode against my mob.

Ice Hockey fans pretending to know more than proper AFL fans is cute isn't it.
