It's before 11.00 - I'm still sober.

Before 11! That's no excuse

 

Being sober before 11 on game day is for the weak!

Port by 15 for mine - They're coming off a couple bad loses and will come out firing.
 

Earliest game day thread in recent memory. Me thinks a few are a bit excited about this one.

Would be a massive chapter in our revival if we could snag 2 in a row for the first time since 2011, given we have 3 or 4 very winnable games in June and July.

Most excited I've been for the year, I reckon.

dee s by 13 pts


Very worried about this one. Boak is going to rip us a new one. Have to shut him down.

what happened to the speculations that he would be a late out?

He will be when I run him over in Todd St.
 

Carn Dees - for my b'day weekend PLEASE!

Will be a good test for the boys coming off a stirring win to see if we can go back-to-back wins for the first time in 4 years!

Being awake on game day before 11 is for the old and the weak.

Pretty excited for this game, which is a worrying sign.


From BigFooty:

"on 5AA they just mentioned that Boaky got a poke in the eye (from training) and his eye is closed"

YES!!!!!!!!!!! but he'll obviously still play.

got a feeling today is the day Jeffrey Garlett really gets hold of an opposition

.

Agree this ground will suit him with contested ball deep in our foward line and he looked dangerous last week always in the right spot at the right time , todays the day .

Maybe he can get a position in the Collingwood Cheer Squad? They are all one-eyed!

Would still be a better umpire than Razor Ray


YES!!!!!!!!!!! but he'll obviously still play.

Let's poke him in the other eye as well - That'll sort him out :)

Is there a legal way to watch online? Normally I get to a pub with foxtel but can't today.

Ox if you haven't got an AFL Live Pass, you can follow the instructions here to sign up and get a free trial. You can watch on a phone, tablet, ipad. If you have an apple tv or chromecast you may be able to zing it on to your telly. That's what I'll be doing.

I don't think they should risk him. Just give him a week off, please.

If that were true he wouldn't be playing

5AA are full of [censored]

Surprised Fitz has been named forward pocket. Would have thought the was the perfect type (gangly, unco-looking bean pole) to match up on Westhoff.

Pretty pleased with our defensive match-ups overall.

McDonald on Shultz will be great to watch.

Jetta on Wingard a top duel, too.

Also looking forward to Hogan v Carlisle. Can't see any other Port players available who are able to match up on him.

There is also the interesting battle of the lesser lights in the ruck. Spencer v Lobbe. Two rucks most famous for their tackling!

Ahh, I expect to enjoy this match as a genuine tussle!

I think Fitzpatrick was named in the pocket last week as well

Anyway - I doubt he'd have the tank to run with the Hoff

I can see us winning but I'm going to subscribe to my "tip the teams I want to lose" theory today. Port gets my tip.

That way if I drop the tip, at least the consolation prize is the team I wanted to win, won. Case in point, tonight's match between Essendon and Richmond. 50/50 call, but I'd hate to tip Richmond and see Essendon win. Conversely, I'd happily tip Essendon and see them lose. Worth dropping the point for! :lol:

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
