Port Adelaide 2013

[The Sleeping Giant]

Trolls are usually very funny. That's constructive isn't it?

[Spargo]

They are so pathetic it's hilarious!!!

I found a great quote that explains your mentality, UK fan....

You can always tell when someone is jealous of you, if they only speak when they have something negative to say.

I'm sorry, I must have missed all the positive, encouraging "speak" directed at Glenelg over the years from those who follow port. I strongly doubt they'd be jealous of our record. Makes that point a bit moot.

Ahem!!

I think port will really improve and could finish anywhere From 11th and 13th in 2013.

Off field I think they will improve and only make a $3 mill loss.

All looking good at alberton in 2013.

Negative ?????

[CENTURION]

not at all, a $3 million loss sounds just tickety-boo!

You can't expect KT to perform miracles in 12 months

Sometimes they are, sometimes they're just plain ******* stupid.

Been Real.

What are some realistic wins for the power this year? A quick glance at draw, is 8 passable. A lot of talent on list that hasnt made the consistent step yet. Dom i still think is going 2 be a huge key were and how he is played. Olive Oil if power can keep him is dare i say it going 2 be a star! Young Winyard(so spelling) has added some baulk and will contiue 2 do so.

[Booney]

I'd agree with around 6-8 wins.

GC and GWS twice, Bulldogs, Brisbane, St.Kilda once and Melbourne once. Go figure, we play them in Round 1 and not again?

[The Sleeping Giant]

I guess it depends on what effect hinkley has immediately. If they play a more attacking direct type of footy, Port could win 10 with no trouble.

[am Bays]

Will Monfries be able to play in 2013? Is he one of the 25 from under investigation from ASADA

I think 10 wins is absolute best case.

The positives I see from our pre-season, aside from the coaching and fitness staff :

A fit Matt Lobbe. He is ahead of Redden by miles in fitness stakes and Renouf who is still battling injuries. Lobbe showed he was our lead ruckman late in 2011 and had 2012 derailed with hip surgery last summer.

Boak, Ebert, Harlett, Cassisi, Monfries, Wingard, Cornes, Broadbent is a midfield with a bit of depth. Thomas, Gray ( when fit ) and Monfries ( although, as am has alluded to ???? ) add further options.

Our defence is our biggest concern if Trengove or Carlile get injured or drop form. Hombsch looks good, but will need to step up quickly.

Footy is nearly here. Awesome.

Footy is nearly here. Awesome.

Yep, the amount of shit spoken will reduce.....one would hope.

[Dutchy]

Geez you blokes are being generous, 4-5 wins tops.

Have they got a major sponsor yet? Was supposed to be imminent in October last year...

Great isn't it. Jumping out my skin to play, watch it and do footy tips. Keen as.

I said 6-8 is realistic.

Major sponsor,I believe, to be announced very soon.

European car manufacturer.

I said could win 10. Hinkley might be a genius.

[GWW]

Had to predict wins, i suspect Port will win some they aren't expected to, and lose some they should win.

If I had to pluck a figure out of the air, I'd say - 6.

[UK Fan]

I think 6-8 wins is achievable.

Hinkley has got to be an improvement on primus. Worse coach in the AfL in a decade.

They'll be better than GWS GC W/Bulldogs and Melbourne.

Not to best scenario to be heading into Adelaide Oval but it could be worse.
