picked port


also tipped gws, gc and the bulldogs

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Tipped GWS and Collingwood. 6 or 7 depending on this one, hoping Adelaide let me off the hook. I've learnt my lesson, trust my instincts.

or at least tip against the teams you dislike

 

[VelvetSledge]

I didn't expect this from Port.

They're a serious team.



Or Adelaide are shithouse

 

[Beerfish]

Just Collingwood and the Cows let me down.

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]

Oliver Wines is ridiculously good.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Oliver Wines is ridiculously good.

Freak.

 

[The Speaker]

Or Adelaide are shithouse

It's a showdown.

 

[Phone]

Wines, Hartlett, Boak and Wingard is quite the group of young midfielders

 

[VelvetSledge]

It's a showdown.

Didn't take that into account. Can see both teams having a win next week, Port with GC and Adelaide with the Dogs at home.

 

[Macca18]

Remind me of us in our first year under Hird.

Start like a house on fire... but challenges await. They won't be the bottom 4 team like many predicted but will be dangerous to play in Adelaide... thankfully we avoid another trip there this year.

 

[daz17]

Wines is a gun! Get on him for rising star.

 

[BrewSmackerVeiny]

Good stuff Port


....tipped 9.....

 

[Beerfish]

Good stuff Port


....tipped 9.....

**** you!!

I mean, well done sir. Well done indeed.

 

[VelvetSledge]

9. Winneeeeerr!

EDIT: F*ck you, Port

 

[yaco55]

Wow

Carlton VS Geelong game had so little pressure - even taking into account that Etihad is a fast track. Geelong played like millionaires, slipped through many Carlton tackles with ease, flipped the ball around like they were playing ping pong.

Geelong can improve heaps, unsure about Carlton.

 

[Kong]

"One of the all-time greats!"

I suspect Dwayne Russell's body will spontaneously combust if ever he sees something genuinely amazing.

Who'd he say that about?

 

[Beerfish]

Who'd he say that about?

I believe it was an hysterical description of a Westhoff goal.

 

[monty1104]

Oliver Wines is ridiculously good.

Yeah, but he didn't fit into Melbourne's style of play.

 

[BrunoV]

I didn't expect this from Port.

They're a serious team.

Or Adelaide are shithouse

It is a bit of both. Port always had a lot of decent players that they weren't getting a lot out of for all the reasons under the sun.

The real test for Adelaide was always going to be what happened when their draw went from + 8 from the outset (with two games against each of GWS, GC, a horrible Port and a horrible Melbourne) to something a little more challenging. It has come as no surprise to me that they have come back to the field.

 

[BrunoV]

Yeah, but he didn't fit into Melbourne's style of play.

Too big, too aggressive and too strong.

 

[yaco55]

Port showed some good signs in the first half of 2012, but were decimated by injury in the second half of the year.

They are playing better than I expected.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Whatever happens with Port later on, it shows you what good sweeping change at all levels can do, without hacking through the playing list.

Melbourne would do well to watch and learn. You can pick yourself up off the canvas with the right personnel in admin and in the coach's box.

Port recruited fringe players from other clubs who were in their early 20's. Melbourne went for good Afl players who were near the end of their career. Port recruited hungry players who wanted to prove themselves.

Who've PA got in the next few?

Suns(A), West Coast (A), Dockers(H)
