It was a bit of a subtle one. Just glad to have an opportunity to pull out my favourite Lycett gif
Holy ******* smokes.
You've just made the authors for upcoming previews give up already
Congratulations on now having to complete this on a weekly basis
Pretty happy I went last week!

I only just noticed the part where Slyce points to his team-mates to set up for a kick-in and casually struts off. Almost as funny as the miss itself.
It’s hard to believe that match and the grand final happened in the same year. That was some dire shit that night.

Great preview sir. Absolutely elite.
With the rate of improvement since my attempt 3 weeks ago even Tolstoy himself won't be enough for the grand final preview

If our performance matches the OP, we will win comfortably.
Think this one will be tight. Port have historically matched up well on us, Rain on friday does even it again.
Don’t think we’ve hit our best form yet, which is pleasing given we would go 4-1 with a win this week.
I’d like to see Hutchings to take Rockliff this week in the contests. I’m not worried about Rockliff getting 30 + touches, he does get a lot of the ball backward of centre, but his impact in clearances is pretty important.
Ebert is playing forward this year and I think Shep should take him as Ebert is good overhead. I think Cole could be given the job on Gray when he moves forward.
Should be a good game. Port started the year playing a more attacking brand of footy, I doubt the game ends up looking the same as last week.

I predict that Masten will kick a 90 mt. Torp from the centre square after the final siren to win the game by 2 points

best post ive seen on this forum in a long while!
Wow. Absolutely brilliant review. You'd had to have started that in the pre-season to deliver such an epic.

Hate wet games......But interested to see how we respond after two poor showings in slippery conditions.
Also a killjoy going by the back page of the West.
"Pay their money and have a right to boo", what is this shit?
We want outrage to feed the bonfires of our passion!
(P.S. a couple of bonfires might not go astray given the weather).

Alright, thnx for playing all! Time for some (pseudo)analysis of our results.
METHODOLOGICAL LIMITATIONS
We've had almost 300 responses click through to 'submit'. However, these results of which are skewed by the mandatory 'back' button, which allows people to try out multiple endings.
A further problem is there is no population control, so some of you campaigners would have done this multiple times. Like you don't even care about the scientific method or replicability of this study. **** you.
Lastly, thanks to a lack of precision in the tools, there's no way of tracking choices that loop backwards, such as the 'SPP melt' or 'Infinite Masten HTBs'.
All in all, there are so many flaws with this data set that we can be almost certain that the collective wisdom of the bigfooty eagles board is represented accurately here.
SOME (MINIMAL) WORRY ABOUT THE RUCK
Here we see that a significant number of people backed our champion premiership ruckman Scott Lycett to come out firing.
However, the number of people thinking that our ruck dept. would at least be able to break even was quite significant.
Looks like we are going in with both Vardy and Hickey, from Simmo's presser. There is some justified concern about this if the weather is bad, but we're not freaking out about this matchup.
MIDFIELD MATCHUPS
Some genuine disagreement about our midfield. What a surprise! #priddisholdingusback
But that's fair enough, given the highs and lows we have seen by our boys in the middle this year. Add in the possibility of any moisture. Time to get the oily balls out.
Meanwhile, some people (~19 or so) have identified Rockliff is a problem that needs containing. His own midfield coach came out earlier in the week saying that Rockliff needs to focus on being more damaging and not racking up dinky possessions. So let's chalk this one up to the "I want to explore every permutation" mob who took this survey multiple times.
FORWARD EFFICIENCY
Some crazy stats going about lately re how efficient we are, and how inefficient Port have been so far. So it's interesting to see a clear consensus about who our matchwinner up front is gunna be, based on the options in the poll:
CONCLUSION
The Port board won't be happy if they win, as it gets in the way of their push to fold the club / sack woosha / putoutyrtarps / whatever. So it's hard to see anything but a resounding Eagles victory as the only happy ending to this natrrative.
Luckily, the very scientific results here confirm this hypothesis. Eagles by 5 goals!

For those interested, yes there was quite a bit of time put into this (somewhere around 15-20 hours, spread out pretty evenly over 6 weeks); and no, I won't be ever doing anything like this again in fact I retire and will spend my days on a beach with puppies / in germany enjoying hedonistic pleasures 'til I die.

You guys still clapping Gaff on every possession even after his coward punch of an 18 year old.
but in all seriousness he guys a star - wish we had a Gaff. We have a sniper in Jonas but he'll assist more goals for you guys this week then for us.

I probably threw it out by just repeatedly doing the one where Nic Nat storms the field like WWE.
Yeah but really we only do it to piss off the purples. Our real joy is derived from booing but we make the effort just to spite the Cockburners.

Even After!? We're clapping him FOR his coward punch of an 18 year old.
but in all seriousness I would say a big part of the cheering is to counteract the boos he was getting both vs cwood and from freo supporters in the derby (who are well within their rights to boo).
