Port coming off a confidence boosting win and most of their best players finding form. We can win, but only if our mob brings its A game to all facets of the match. Contested possession count and intensity need to go through the roof, and, somehow, our defence must find a way to cover Port's attack. We need to shut down Port particularly in the first half and try and negate their scoring options. Gawn and the midfield need to be all over Port from the first bounce. Can we negate Ports scoring options and at the same time maximize our scoring options? It will certainly test our recovery and fitness as we need to be able to run and compete all night. A season defining match. If we lose this, we pretty much can only afford a loss to WCE and Geelong right, and therefore must be Radelaide, Swans, Freo etc etc Quote

A season defining match. Don't think it is that crucial. I still believe we can win 14 games. That means we have to win 6 out of the next 10 games. The hardest is Sydney and then weagles. I believe we can beat port ( and should ) but it isn't season defining. 1 Quote

So, Hinkley has effectively named his team several hours ahead of the AFL's embargo release time of 6:30pm...? Interesting. 1 Quote

Deemania since 56 6,810 Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 23 hours ago, SFebey said: I'm actually more confident of beating Port than I was of beating the Pies. Just a few moments before the teams are announced, I agree that we must have confidence in beating Port. After the bye, we should come out fully refreshed, ready to maul any opposition and so do with aplomb! It might seem as if we have an indefensible, tall forward line and some really stoic defenders keen to elevate the criticism of the past fortnight. We seem to have been working heavily in training on our clearance routines, according to other posters who can get to training sessions, with fresh but manageable new roles and structures. If we play Vince and Lewis in the one team, we may struggle; if we bring in a newbie, well and good. We have the goods and the capability to cream Port - or even just fight like hell to win. It is going to be a great match. 1 Quote
