Preview Port will be very hard to beat

Groupie_ · Apr 29, 2012

Just got back from my mates house who I attended the match with today and according to him and a few other Tigers mates we will smash Port.

I disagreed completely. This game will go down to the wire. Port have had an almost as bad first 5 as us and have put up a fight in all games.

Season could be over for the loser at 1-5.

Absolute must win.

Will be a test playing at footy park definitely wouldn't pencil it in as a win though. Although I think we should run away with it in the second half as I cant see the boys letting this game slip. Time will tell.

Hopefully Schultz is out. That will be of great benefit to us. He is sure to kick his usual 2/3. I think we should win by around 35 points. Not overly worried.

Madison · Apr 29, 2012

They have been very good. They lack some polish, but are good at the contested stuff and have really upped their pressure.

Will be a tough game away from home, would be a win at the G.

Heard he copped one in the eye? You would think he'd get up by Sunday wouldn't you?

After seeing the signs of improvement from Martin, Riewoldt and Vickery against West Coast i feel it can continue, if that happens it will be too much for Port Adelaide. Richmond by 26

Copped a bad one in the eye and was bleeding, will at least miss 1 week, unless he wants to play with an eye patch.

Look forward to the game but can see Port fading and you guys cruising to the usual 4 - 5 goal win that has been the pattern so far.

Spluff · Apr 29, 2012

They've definitely improved, but our form on the board so far is better than theirs. You never know though, it could go either way. Neither team is significantly better than the other at this point of time.

sante · Apr 29, 2012

Our players are hurting big time after today! We will come out firing surely!

delediofan3 · Apr 29, 2012

time to face mccarthy. the one that got away. he couldve really helped us.

Barnzy · Apr 29, 2012

No disrespect to Port who've improved from a rabble to competitive but if we can't beat them then we don't deserve to play finals anyways. Simple as that.

I think we will smash them.

Oh we're from.. · Apr 29, 2012

Our easier month includes Port away, the 5-0 Swans, the 4-1 Bombers and the Hawks. If we can keep up the level we have been playing we should get over the top of Port, but it won't be easy.

How many rfc secrets does he know?

If we lose to port not only will I be generally upset because we lost to a team we really should beat, but that will also mean I won't get 9/9 for the tips this week. Round 6 is really simple for tipping with the exception of the Port v Richmond game imo. I'm going Richmonds' way though so common boys!

I've only tipped the Tigers once this year, against Melbourne.

Really tempted to tip us this week... We SHOULD win going by form.

IMO how we perform against teams like Port, Ess, North etc will really show how far we've developed. All well and good having a crack against top teams where you're not expected to win.

Now we are expected to win so there's no excuses anymore.

dwwaino · Apr 30, 2012

Our form in the past two weeks doesn't mean squat if we can't do this one. Different side but we got over the Crows over there late last year. So we just need to make sure we can take our form on the road.

1980GFVideo · Apr 30, 2012

They are more competetive than last year but they were bad last year.

Should have a handy buffer by third quarter that they wont be able to reel in. Dont see us in any danger of losing to them this year.

Schultz will be out so that will help.

We always play ok at AAMI, it suits our game. Thank christ it's not in Darwin.

Joker91 · Apr 30, 2012

If we are good enough to play finals we win comfortably.
In my opinion we are good enough to play finals, we have made a massive improvement in 12 months.... If West coast or Geelong got 4 goals up on us last year we would of lost by 8-9 goals.

Filthy Sanchez · Apr 30, 2012

Always an advantage playing Port off the showdown, but that goes unnoticed by the people who are complaining about our "horrible" draw ey Groupie?

We'll beat them, we're desperate for a win after these close losses, you'd thinka few of them would want to make up for their piss weak effort last year...

CoggaRules · Apr 30, 2012

With all due respect i feel for any team that is playing us in the upcoming weeks. I will go out on a limb here and suggest we are about to tear a few new ones big time..Starting with Port..

Kind of agree. Not to think to far forward, but we will be the first team to knock off the Swans

No Robbie Gray is huge for us.

Wet week ahead, but fining up for the weekend. Think we should win

Hoping we start next week with a % above 100, but not regarding this as an easy salute at all

Boak always plays a blinder against us

thecotch · Apr 30, 2012

Our record over there of recent times has been pretty good from memory. I'm pretty confident about this one.
