We were pathetic against Brisbane and Essendon. We’d need a vast improvement to get near Geelong

Our backline will struggle big time against your talls. That is where the game will be won by Port IMO

Marshall looks like he'll miss with concussion, so one less tall in the F50 for us.

Neither side is going to go into this confident. We fell over the line against the Bears and didn't hardly fire a shot against the Bombers.

We'll need a significant improvement from our forward half to beat you, they need to offer some more pressure on the defenders moving the ball out for that to happen.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

I think it will be one of those games that one team will lose the game opposed to one team winning it.

Does this rule out Dixon pushing into the ruck then? Surely cant afford to be two talls down F50 during the game? Or would Watts just push deep and play the FF role?

Port win because they had the worst performance last week.
Same will apply to Melbourne
May even be relevant in the Carlton/West Coast game

This rule doesnt apply to the Crows/Sydney game though

Very worried about the Roos this week. Not sure if we can cover Rioli and Poppy. Hopefully Burton found a bit of form in the ressies last week, maybe time for him to go forward again

Burton had 22 disposals a goal and 2nd best. Cousins was BOG in the win.

Yep Carlton to go back to the defensive game and grind out a boring win kicking 8-10goals, or not....

Lol, if you can’t beat us then rule a line through the rest of your year.
Rioli is little loss, hasn’t done a thing this season & looks cooked. If not being able to cover Puopolo is the reason you lose this one, well...

In saying that, Sydney are going to tear us a new one Friday night.

Shows how even the competition is, one bad week, some bad press, thought of losing 2 in a row and you just have to bounce back.

Both have provided decent forward line pressure & tackling efforts this season, somethin the Hawks lacked last year, without them. I see where Daisy is coming from. North are a good chance to knock us over.

So we won't see the usual 'oh woe is us' crew claiming winning bets on their own team after the event then?

I think Port might be shizen and still win.
