[Thiele]

GHood luck to Matthew Lobbe

I don't know about throwing it.
I'd say you have no chance regardless who you have in your side.

Crap. I'd say we have a good chance IF we bring our best footy. And maybe even a better chance if the Saints don't.

NM is on the money yet again. Port's big problem is the lack of big bodies. Choco said that Geelong made Port look like 'little kids' and so will the Saints. They just strangle the life out of teams that would prefer to play an open style of game similar to Port's. It will get Sarah Jessica Parker ugly in this match.

Good to see Matt Lobbe in the side, he showed a bit during the NAB cup and he his worth a go.

I reckon Port have more of a chance with Riewoldt not playing for the Saints.

the saints are strong all over the ground,be hard to see the power winning,hope we do ,but only wishing!!!

[JK]

I give the Power a sneaky chance this weekend .. Won't be tipping them, and think the Saints likely win, but I don't think Ports are without a chance.

[tiger07andbeyond]

I hope there is lots of injuries in a tough game , with the showdown in mind

Oh, and also forgot WINLESS as well.

[Booney]

I expect the rain / dew will help our cause and slow the run of St.Kilda down. But class will prevail and the Saints aren't one of the teams to beat in 2010 for no reason and as always the gap between the top 2 and the mid range teams is always a huge one.

St's by 20 points.

[jackpot jim]

Is there ANYONE in South Australia or the ******* world for that matter that can teach PROFESSIONAL footballers the relatively simple task of kicking a football between 2 posts???? FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GWW]

Good effort tonight, wasn't pretty, but to win in a pressure situation was great.

Goalkicking a problem obviously, but the big picture is that the young blokes are learning how to win pressure games.

Would now love to see Salter come in, there would appear to be more than onfield issues dictating why he's not getting a game, wish i knew what the story was. He would have kicked 80% of those shots that Ebert missed tonight.

Still a work in progress, but nonethless a big improvement on the last 2 years, especially last year's game against the Saints at Footy Park.

[Rik E Boy]

HOORAY. Never been so happy to see Port win. St Kilda play rugby so the sooner that crap style of game is consigned to the dustbin of history the better. Saints Footy is bullshit. GO THE POWER.

In the AFL this season across all clubs the strike rate is less than 50% whereas normally it's about 62%
