The definition of insanity would be staking your emotions on how a bunch of 18-25 year olds perform at their workplace ?

Bartell highlighted some of our lazy man marking on access all areas, said Clarko and others have toned down the zone to be more accountable one on one, and we're using our zone defence as an excuse to be lazy and not hold players to account

Uh oh

McVeigh was more gettable last year. if Sydney are foolish enough to not offer him a contract this year he'd be a decent experienced head in defence. He's been in great form this year.

First game at the new MCG dimensioned stadium isn't it? One more thing going against us, not that we have anyone but ourselves to blame/

Luckily we're not playing them at the G

Goody - The long and winding road

He's a smart footballer is Buddy

Geez just looking at the lineups, we really need a good game from our half forwards in Pedo/VDB. Rampe and McVeigh are smart and dangerous rebounding players. We look exploitable in that area.

mistaken post.

It's not the containing im worried about, it's the run out of defence and turnover that ends up coming straight back over his head! ?

Had a dream midweek that we were down 44-1. I'm a tad nervous about how we start this game.

Not as loudly as you realists blaming us for putting the mozz on it hehe

The Realists must be happy with that GWS win and Adelaide being ruled out of contention. We don't want to slip lower than 9th

The only fiddling you should be doing right now is with the ladder predictor. If Port had beaten WCE, then a win over SYD & WCE next week would have us 2nd with the win over GWS in r23 . No need for a Brisbane win.

Some of us remember winning 7/8 in 2000 and moving all the way up to 3rd as Geelong and the Kangas fell below us and that amazing feeling of everything going right at the right time. That's why I always have my eyes firmly planted on a highest ladder position possible and am gunning for 3 wins. More so in this case, because we wouldn't have to rely on any other result once Port beat WCE. 2nd was ours with 3 wins. I don't work for MFC so getting ahead of myself has no repercussions.

I wonder, if we'll have the guts to throw Tom MacDonald back in defence for a quarter if we have a solid lead in the last, like the Eagles had the guts to throw McGovern forward for a quarter.

Maybe take a 2nd look at their reasoning.

His father passed away earlier in the year and now rumours have sprung up that he wants to come back to Victoria

That's what happens when you hire a fox footy boundary rider/joker in Ben Dixon for a goal kicking coach. And don't they also have Danny Frawley in as a a part time defensive coach? Seems like a bit of a farce down there.

If you click the box titled [SCORES] in the bottom left corner you can enter in your own bigger scores manually and create draws from there.

Make sure you're all using the faster ladder predictor. Can do each run within a minute or two. https://predictor.squiggle.com.au An intersting function at the top of the main page screen is How many % people are tipping each team. https://squiggle.com.au 73% have us beating Sydney, 55% have West Coast beating us and we're currently 63% beating GWS

What did McLure have to say about it? Actually scratch that, he has nothing relevant to say about anything. ?

We can win 1 and finish 9th. Depends on how the other games are predicted, obviously.

There was a 20 page Hamish Hartlett thread while back, at the time he was the only gettable Port player worth chasing. Polec is a bit of an injury prone downgrade ain't he?
