The flag race really is right open. I reckon if you're GWS or even Carlton you definitely feel like you can steal a flag ala Bulldogs in 2016. 

A Port win would suddenly open it right up again. 

Except Port won’t win. It is going to take a major upset to not be a Collingwood Brisbane grand final. I cannot see either of GWS or Port beating Collingwood in the prelim, nor can I see Brisbane losing to Carlton.

I hope brissy win. If we can beat carlton then I think they are a better match up than port.

I’m just offended by the pathetic wording. 
Sounds like they went to chat GPT and typed in “write me a banner for the Port vs Brisbane game” 

LOL I didn’t even read it! But you’re dead right. It’s hard to read it without yawning.

Speaking of triggering, what the hell is this banner effort from Port?

@WalkingCivilWar you would never sign off on this! 

My seven year old could have come up with more inspiring words than that

A question I’ve always had, is the banner more for the fans or the players? Do the players even ready the banner?

Preemptive congrats on your huge Pointsbet haul for next week (and the week after).

Duursma has struggled to be clean in this game and it’s killing his team.

Nothing against Cameron but I use to like the Country Road song

Surely Gil can arrange for his wet dream Collingwood v Carlton GF.   A few more "favourable goal reviews", a tribunal reprieve for Jack Martin.  Wouldn't trust him / them at all.

Who’s the commentator that keeps on saying “deadly”? 

Harris Andrews ain’t Steven May. He’s more of an interceptor. He’s been absolutely killed one on one tonight.

It’s for both. We make them for the players and we enjoy making them. I don’t know if every player reads them but I’ve seen many of them looking up at the banner as they run out. The banner is also where the players congregate until every one of them is on the field (my favourite part). They jump up and down and pump each other up and smile or otherwise acknowledge us as we’re screaming encouragement like crazy people. All this while our song is playing. Im sure the players appreciate it. I know our girls appreciate the banners because they’ve told us, many times.

I doubt we'll beat the Blues with Goodwins bomb it in territory gameplan,the Pies had 18 players inside our 50 waiting for the bombs all night and the Blues will do the same,We don't switch on until we are 4 goals down like against the Tigers and Swans,the Blues jumped the Swans in the first 10 minutes like the Pies did to us and the Blues will be on fire in the first quarter and it'll be all over.

 

I'd rather play Port in Adelaide if we get that far

No one could see GWS beating Collingwood in the 2019 prelim, after Collingwood had knocked off Geelong in the QF and GWS had finished 6th.

We get it Hodgey… the lions practise their goal kicking… how many more times does he need to bring it up 

Make an early tactical substitution.

Immediately lose two players to injury, Hinkley masterclass.

True, but when it comes to Port I like to rub it in.

Possibly the same one who described Horne-Francis as a "revelation". Yes, the #1 draft pick, who was never going to be anything other than a star.

Burgoyne ... listening to him is like scraping nails down a blackboard.

Hodge ... [insert your own comment]

Brisvegas will be very hard to stop from here playing at home.

Neither of these teams defend well. Kick straight and we’ll beat either. 

Can’t look past next week against the blues but if we get through the lions will be a tough ask 

Carlton, then Brisbane, then.....GWS......quite the journey to win the flag.

Have you ever received any praise or feedback from the players about the banners?

Brisbane's gut running to support and effort (at home) is at another level.  Reminds me of us in 2021
