Game Day The battle of the Port, v Freeo

[240volt]

If we lose by what 25 points today we finish 3rd and go to Geelong.

As explained before it’s not just the margin.
It’s also about what each side scores.

 

[PAFC66]

It's on a platter for you now port , just don't get hammered. Just make it a low scoring slogfest

 

[WillemDaDrew]

Squiggle ladder predictor is in meltdown, but anymore than a 4 goal loss we'll drop down to 3rd.

 

[davesnothere]

Kind of glad Port are at Freo today.

That's seriously dark clouds rolling in here.

 

[RossFC]

If we lose by 70 we could still come 4th right?

Carlton have everything to play for, all Saints can do by winning is go up from 5 to 7 in the draft order.
It’s a no brainer.

I don't think I'm going to make it until 5:40pm

Has been shit weather for sometime in Perth.
This would be the best day for weeks.

Adelaide is just getting hit by a serious cold front.

 

[StuMan]

Jed to snap the sealer. TeeKray, overcome with emotion, storms the ground and hugs the Cheese and is subsequently banned from Optus Oval for 5 years.

Adelaide is just getting hit by a serious cold front.

Yeah if Perth had shit weather you could always bet we would get it in Adelaide in a couple of days.
Everywhere in Australia is above average temperature this winter apart from Perth.

 

[Steve Dore]

With the Western Bulldogs beating GWS we don't even need to win to hold second place. Just need to not lose by too much. Sadly we know how this is likely to pan out.

Fremantle by 37.

 

[Coobk001]

So it's Geelong in the QF for the third time in five years. Only thing to be determined is the venue.

Our 6th final against Geelong, the 4th qualifying final.

We just can't get away from these blokes.

Cupla Bourbons on the cards?

If we lose by what 25 points today we finish 3rd and go to Geelong.

Depends what Freo kick.

If Freo kick 63pts or less, then we can lose by 25 pts and finish 2nd

After 63 pts it slowly decreases. If Freo kick 93pts we have to kick at least 72pts

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Our 6th final against Geelong, the 4th qualifying final.

We just can't get away from these blokes.

3 home QF's, 3 wins - 2004, 2020, and 2021.

 

[TeeKray]

Our 6th final against Geelong, the 4th qualifying final.

We just can't get away from these blokes.

My first thought is 'well, I guess they play a lot of finals so you're likely to come up against them' but then again so do Sydney and we've only played them in a final once and not for 21 years.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Simple equation, win or lose by 18 pts or less and we guarantee being the 17th least worst side.

It just doesn't feel like we are the 2nd best side in 2024.

Lose by more than 18pts then its dependent on what Freo kick.

An 18pt loss just sneaks us in if Freo kick 120pts. A miracle has to happen for Freo to kick 120+pts.

Freo's 2 biggest scores this year have been against a hapless, hopeless, water buffalo walling in mud Melbourne - 141pts in Alice Springs and 116pts at Perth Stadium.

Cupla Bourbons on the cards?

I spent all my money on whiskey last night. Started at Bad Dog and ended up at LowLife.
I think my brain fell out at some point.

Don't worry, defensive juggernaut Jed is on the case.

 

[RossFC]

Is there any chance if we come 3rd we play at the MCG instead of GMHBA?

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Is there any chance if we come 3rd we play at the MCG instead of GMHBA?

99% chance it'll be at MCG in this scenario

 

[longdonkey]

What would be the most Hinkley thing to do in the history of Hinkley in a must win game.

Send Ratagolea back or put Burton on their best forward?

You feeling a bit tender m8? I PROMISE I WONT SHOUT!!

 

[El_Scorcho]

Hey El_Scorcho I reckon Freo missed the boat in not calling themselves The Pirates too..

Shhh don't tell them that ffs.

Dockers is at least nicely on theme. Way better than Power.
