According to the modelling we're the least favourite in Week 01.

 

So, this modelling says that we should win, but with less likelihood of winning than the other three predicted winners. (Idk if I’m getting it right.)

Swans are the real smokey, I would not be surprised if they made the Prelim.

They are indeed and i feel more confident against lions...cats and dogs than them.

jeelong's chance of winning tonight

Why? Mills is probably cooked for the year, Kennedy has half a leg too.

neither....they are long nosed jeelong pigs

Not sure why everyone is giving Port no chance. It is their home ground, and Geelong might be super flat after last week. They are also likely to blow up in the last quarter with all the old legs and no pre-finals bye.

I give Port a massive chance, and frankly I prefer they win, as I think we are more chance to beat them than Geelong.

Much prefer Port win I just think Geelong will win.

I think we definitely want Port Adelaide to win if possible, Geelong having to go the long way with no pre finals bye and an older list definitely makes things harder for them, and they'd be a chance to lose to a team like Sydney in a semi final as well.

Geelong out in straight sets. Mentally and physically cooked.

Reckon Port are a huge chance tonight...

[Clintosaurus 7,936]

Think Geelong, GWS and Dogs get it done. And us of course.

I want us to give Port a lesson somewhere during the finals.

They were hoping to play us instead of Geelong this week. MFC still dont get the respect we deserve.

Port smell blood and they get to play a home final with a crowd behind them

Genuinely torn on who I want to win this, if Cats win then facing them in the Grand Final would be big. And while we’ve been able to arrest a lot of the demons that have been held, I must admit I’d still prefer to avoid them where possible. 

[OhMyDees 1,834]

I want Port to win! I believe if we’re lucky to make it to a GF I think we can beat them.

Geelong can only win if Hawkins and Cameron both pull hamstrings…

Ports 2021 losses.
Rd 3 Eagles by 37 WA
Rd 7 Lions by 49 QLD
Rd 9 Dogs by 19 AO
Rd 13 Cats by 21 AO
Rd 17 Dees by 31 AO

Ports last 3 weeks : 

Beat crows by 4 points 

Beat Carlton by 95, Carlton had no Cripps, Williams, McKay

Beat an underperforming Dogs by 2 points.

Had we lost last week they would of won the minor premiership without beating 2nd, 3rd or 4th through out the home and away season. Doubt that has ever happened before. Would like them to win tonight against a Geelong side with no Tuohy and Stewart, but it’s a big ask for a supposedly inform team which has done little to date.

Beating a side 3 times in a year is a tough call so Geelong would be a massive challenge in a prelim or a GF. Aside from WC over Collingwood in 2018 I can't think of too many sides that have done it.

For some reason I have it in my head that Port are shoe-ins tonight.

Hoping for a tough bruising affair tonight. A couple of soft tissue injuries and hawkings  to get rubbed our for 2 for a dangerous tackle………..yeah right, Hawkings could murder someone tonight and the review will find him with no case to answer 

[sydneydee 703]

Dislike Geelong with a passion. Really want Port to get up tonight

Could get your wish; shall be watching Dangerfield's calf muscles, in a non-homeoerotic* fashion, with great interest.

*not that there's anything wrong with that...

I don’t care who wins as long as they belt the living daylights out of each other.

Man I sick of seeing Geelong in finals - 15 bloody years.  I hope Danger never wins a flag and I hope Selwood doesn't win one as captain and I hope Scott doesnt win his first real flag (the canteen lady could have coached them in 2011).

Glad I'm not being too emotional or childish about this. 

In summary, I don't like the Cats

[JTR 2,890]

The only downside I see to Port winning is that we then MUST win tomorrow to avoid going down the path that would lead to a Prelim in Adelaide. 

Whereas If Geelong wins, and Covid situation stays as it, we'll play all our remaining games in Perth, regardless of our result v Brisbane.
