NON-MFC: Semi Finals

[BDA 22,739]

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

go port

[leave it to deever 17,511]

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. 

[Sir Windsor 219]

Love the physicality

This is a cracking game 

[BDA 22,739]

hawks a little rattled. Port bringing the heat

[BDA 22,739]

umps favouring the home team so far

[BoBo 2,941]

Both teams spread so much. Players all over the ground 

[leave it to deever 17,511]

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 

[Sir Why You Little 37,016]

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

[BDA 22,739]

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

[leave it to deever 17,511]

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. 

[dees189227 12,385]

Hawks need a goal just to compose themselves.

Ports tackling has been brilliant 

[Ollie fan 3,370]

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.

 

[ANG13 2,062]

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

[DubDee 25,767]

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.

[BoBo 2,941]

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

[DubDee 25,767]

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
