Round 1 - Central v Port @ Elizabeth 27/3 @ 6.30pm

[DOC]

To be born and bred in the area, You DON'T have to barrack for Port. You can't get anymore Port than my good self. I love the area, and I love my beloved Bays !

To be born and bred in the Port and not be a Port fan - is your name Judas Iscariot?

Jog on clown

I know. Trechery at Port Adelaide. Who would have though such a thing.

[Mr Irate]

Absolutely pumped for the start of the season. I'm heading out to Lizbeff and can't wait for sat.

Go magpies!!

Driving ?

Or marching down the Port River expressway with your 30 mates ?

As if I would drive out your way and risk having my car stolen.

I'd rather march out and just risk being raped, shot at, knived and bashed.

How is Luke Harder looking this year?

How is Luke Harder looking this year?

Seen him impress in a couple of trials, and he looked quite at home playing in the quicker tempo of the Power internal trial.

[Big Phil]

Whilst I don't think he will push for league selection with the Dogs, will be interesting to see how Crows Rookie Brian Donnelly goes in his new environment since switching clubs from the Bays.

Anyone wanting a bet on this game here are the odds

Head To Head Line

Centrals 1.16 (-32.5) 1.90
Port Adelaide 5.00 (+32.5) 1.90

Must say dont mind port with a +32.5 head start. I dont think there will be more than 3 or 4 goals in it especially with centrals not at full strength.

[Hazydog]

Assume Maric will come in for Trengove? If so Buckets will have his work cut out! I'd imagine he'd be shouldering most of the ruck work, with Milne set for a baptism of fire against Maric, Meikeljohn & Cloke - all no doubt spending time on the ball and rotating up forward.

Thats an area Port are definatly going to be able to expose Centrals is the lack of height in defence.

Honestly can feel an upset coming on tomorrow night.

Maric not available to Maggies..

[Big Phil]

Maric not available to Maggies..

And reading the 'Tiser this morning, it looks like the Maggies won't have Jackson Trengove either who is likely to come into the Power side with Scott Harding (who didn't play for West last night) as replacements for the injured Robbie Grey and Daniel Motlop.

A bonus for the Doggies I would think...

[Hodges 153!]

Trengove already named for the Power.

Emergencies are Harding, Salter and Thomas....
