PF: Port Adelaide vs Bulldogs

[loges 6,767]

First 20 minutes Port second to the ball, absolutely no tackling pressure really poor by them. Note Dogs need speed on the ball, need to slow the game down when required.

There have been a lot of posts after our win about having the flag in the bag.

Put the lid back on.

The way the Dogs are playing tonight, and with a week off after this, we have a massive challenge ahead.

The one team i did not want to face, the bulldogs... 

To be the best you have to beat them i suppose.

[Min Xie 284]

Choked in 1st quarter, unbelievable! That's why I always want us to play PA. If WB won, have 2 weeks break, they will be a force.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Tarps out by half time at this rate. 

[spirit of norm smith 16,588]

Dogs are super quick. Good skills. Very dangerous.  

[Fritta and Turner 4,522]

Port are incredibly slow

Meh, Port haven’t been a top 4 side all year, and now they are proving it on the big stage.

Stole the game against the dogs and beat a Geelong team that most likely had a virus that week. Only beaten down the ladder teams out side of those two. Still expected a lot more from them tonight.

Dogs are the worst possible grand final opponent. Best midfield in the competition and the only side that has beaten us this year. 

Agree. They will get the week off, which negates the finishing bottom half of the 8. Hope Port can come back from here, otherwise we have a hell of a fight on our hands.

We are going to have to be razor sharp in a fortnight.

Port would have to be the biggest front runners under Ken Hinkleys time as coach. Happy to beat up the mid to bottom teams but absolutely choke when facing elite sides.

[dl4e 5,851]

Midfield of dogs is so on top. Ridiculous really. Port look like they have a choke again but it is only quarter time and I am not writing them off yet.

[Demon Disciple 12,274]

Like I said, Dogs have/are riding a wave of emotion. Game, recover, travel, train, game.

2 weeks off may disrupt this, give them time to stop and stick their heads up and disrupt this.

Dogs and Dees GF is a fair result given we were both in the top 2 together for 16 of 23 weeks.

I made a poor call taking up Port during the week.

[Happy Jack 197]

Come on Port, do the right thing by us and GO THE BIFF!

[BDA 22,879]

Powder Puff Port. 

The midfield battle v the dogs in the gf is going to be huge. whoever wins it, wins the flag

[loges 6,767]

Port really snuck into second with a soft draw didn't they

[Diamond_Jim 12,628]

Dogs are snarling

Had forgotten how bad Port's gameplan was... looks like Geelong but worse

Why the heck does Dixon go up with one hand all the time?

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Dixon is cooked.

Haha how is that a free against Martin in the ruck as a block?! He literally didn’t touch Lycett.

[monoccular 17,573]

IF Bulldogs win this it will be they who benefit from the pre GF bye I reckon.

That's why it would have been so delicious to play them in a Grand Final.
