Hi Port friends.

Both of our team are, let's face it, going pretty poor. However, there has never been a better time to banter about the fortunes of our club.
Please join us in flogging our team to death in how bad we are.

As stated before, no cards will be issued and no hold bar.

The only good things to come out of the Geelong game were Wines and Boak getting into better form , pity Gray , Wingard and Hartlett had poor games , now if they along with Westhoff and Ebert have good games we'll be starting to get somewhere . Hopefully it starts this week .

as was said earlier, the omission of Ah Chee probably helped Wines - now Ken, DONT BRING AH CHEE IN THIS WEEK

Which of you are coming over from Adelaide?

Tom Jonas said at the after-match function in the Magarey Room on Saturday Night that we'll come back from Melbourne with the four points. #InJonasWeTrust

I think Tommy needs to learn from his pre match bravado against Adelaide. Just looked silly.

If we get selections right, we'll win this.

They've just lost a key defender in Rance, this has to play into our favour.

Pick another tall forward, either Howard or Butcher (or, god forbid, both) and we should see our scoring opportunities increase dramatically.

But that still leaves our underperforming midfield to service that forward line. The guys in the guts have to lift their game big time, or we could have Tony Lockett in the goal square, and we'd still struggle.

 

[philreich]

I rate Rance 50X better than Trengove

Yeah but they still have Chaplin

 

[PowerBaz]

We will win this week, in some respects especially defensively (although it didn't last 4 quarters) I think we turned the corner a bit last week. We will win this and win well, it will click sooner or later, for some reason I feel it, and it's 7:30 am so it ain't a glass of red! Time to get some positive energy going people. I'm sick of it at the minute so would the players, the wheel will turn.

Big Dix to run straight through Chappy, then Jonas to accidentally fall on him with his knees!

Can one of our resident gif makers create a gif of Rance's elbow on Watts and also one of his tantrum V Robbie Gray from the EF in 2014?

[kirbatron]

Will wingard play? whats wrong with him this year?

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

Will wingard play? whats wrong with him this year?

Poor form from the team
Wingard is 50/50, i personally think he should be given a week off, regardless of the importance of this match.

 

[Forzaport]

Will wingard play? whats wrong with him this year?

Injury interrupted year so far.

 

[Jonts]

Will wingard play? whats wrong with him this year?

Injuries and Been locked inside the F50 due to lack of forward options

 

[R_Gray_Jnr_Jnr]

Hopefully the umps don't kill us like they did in the games V Adelaide, Geelong and GWS. I have no doubt if we had our fair run of the mill with the umps in those games we would have.......


What I'd give to be able to blame umps for our ridiculously abismal start to the year .

Anyway, inappropriate post - free kick Hawthorn

With the limited opportunities he had, Charlie did some good work.

 

[5um0F1]

Predictions;
1. Chaplin to point wildly at random things
2. Charlie to have a break out game
3. 2 quarters of passable footy this week
4. Ill be pissed by half time

if we win < 10 points, if richmond win > 30

I'm with you on this. I don't feel wholesale changes will fix anything either. Trengove is out already, possibly Chad as well outside of that maybe Amon out but not much more.

There is to much talent and pride in this group for this to continue the first quarter last weekend was the best we've played against quality opposition. Yes after that we got thumped but they'll take some confidence from it and if they build on it this week and start well against Richmond there is no reason we can't start the turn around as If Richmond get a jolt their in a big as funk as us they won't respond and ditto with us.

Bring it on, I cannot wait for the game best way to shut all these stories and whispers up is with a win.

I'll be making the trip over mate!

 

[tribey]

Was so excited about this match when the fixture was released, shaped as a potential top 4 blockbuster clash...

Now will just be going for the lols from both sides.

What's the AFL equivalent of a 0-0 draw!?

[R_Gray_Jnr_Jnr]

Can we all seriously stop kidding ourselves (COACHES INCLUDED) saying that our first quarter was good.

Geelong kicked 5 behinds, otherwise they would have been in front.

We were gifted two or three goals from the umps and Geelong's stupidity.

We were terrible again going inside 50, and didn't create many options. Yes there was some semi decent tackling in comparison to games v GWS and Adelaide but apart from that we were awful.

Our only semi-decent passage of putting in effort in that game was the first ten minutes of the second quarter where we controlled the game but yep funnily enough again we couldn't do diddly squat inside F50.

I didn't buy it despite our lead, I picked we would lose by 10 goals after that first quarter.

Bassett on 5AA was laughable last night. "We responded well in the first quarter.... blah blah... it will click soon... blah blah...."

Shutup Bass the first quarter, in fact the entire game we played shiit football! Enough is enough. Heads need to roll, and roll fast. Starting with Voss (no offence to the guy I'm sure he's a top bloke) and he could be seen as a scapegoat, but we need to fix our midfield issues NOW! Get someone with some decent coaching accolades, not someone who coached Brisbane for a few years and didn't improve them at all (in fact players liek Aish and Polec wanted to leave) then moved onto a stupid TV show. I have no clue who is avaiable but surely there is someone out there who could help with our clearance and clean first use of the ball issues!
