as much as I'd like to see Port go out in straight sets I'm sick of hearing about the Hawks. 

go port

I'd be wary of backing Port.

Don't forget they had six games determined by a goal or less this year.

Port won all six of them.

 

AFL need a serious look at umpire abuse by players. Wines gesturing and screaming in an umpire's face pleading for 50 was a really bad look. 

Love the physicality

This is a cracking game 

hawks a little rattled. Port bringing the heat

umps favouring the home team so far

Both teams spread so much. Players all over the ground 

Frees 7 to 2 for Port.

Knew it.

Skills aren't great but the pace is at 150 km p/h

Paying a mark when they don’t touch it first doesn’t impact those numbers either. Very one sided 

I didn’t think the Pap could come back after last week, but so far they are a different team

I think this is the most intensity i've ever seen Port play with

Let's not panic those who are supporting hawks.

Hawks have the ability from scoring a goal and then four more in quick time.

Yes pressure rating must be off the charts but the worry for Port is they are only 2 goals up. Not sure they can maintain this pressure for another 3 quarters. 

Hawks need a goal just to compose themselves.

Ports tackling has been brilliant 

What an interesting quarter!

For months this site has been full of posters complaining about our game style, saying it should be like Hawthorn -fast and attacking.

I don't know if PA can keep it up but so far they are absolutely stifling Hawthorn. 
 

How? Contest and defence.

Good defence will NEVER be a bad game plan.

 

Will be very interesting to see if Port can sustain this pressure. 

Awesome first Quarter 

Port playing like men possessed 

The fact that the same blokes served up last week after a decade of inconsistency mean Hinkley has to go.

How can Hinkley justify such polarising performances?

One limping in and the other exhausted from travel.

I doubt that a short flight to Adelaide followed a week later by a short flight to Sydney would be exhausting.

We’ll definitely know if one team is much fitter than the other. Players gonna be stuffed at 3/4 time if this continues

Let’s send those cocky glory hunting fake Hawthorn fans packing

How anyone wants them to win over Port baffles me. Sure i hate Port but it doesn’t compare
