Game Day Round 5 “Dockland Dynamite” ft. Port Adelaide v Fremantle

[Greasyrhys]

Been a while since both harbour-related teams have met in-form. Pretty simple, if we can play our usual game but take our chances in front of goal, then anything can happen. But there’s something about playing at home under lights…

I am in palm cove on my honeymoon and plan to drink beer and watch it in a pub.

Should hammer Freo, good midfield, not decent backline, not a lot else imo

3 posts in the match thread in more than an hour suggests a degree of trepidation at what we might see tonight - which is a sentiment I share. In order for Port to be taken seriously, we need to win games like this!!!

I think it’ll be a frustrating game, but we’ll get up by 3 goals or so.

Not good for those that catch a train to games (myself included) https://www.adelaidemetro.com.au/ab...7ZAW50BFMAMy99Q7SpKE1Ir_s_QH7VYeXMdO1JAATcSs7

Vintage is officially over for me... Time to sit back with a beer and... Hopefully enjoy the game tonight.

Hopefully the Finlayson Affair has prevented the boys from indulging in a surfeit of bathwater during the week...

I wouldn't complain too much about the match day thread atmosphere, it is the environment that has been created here.

Posters try to be positive, get shouted down with countless sack Hinkley replies and think Why bother.

I'm looking forward to the game, there's a lot to like about this Port team, that midfield is so deep and talented it can take on any team, tall defenders at last, and a good mix of talent up forward. Plus Soldo who is fun to watch in the ruck.

This should be a quality game after the dross of the past two nights, perfect conditions and two teams in strong form.

I expect Drew to put the clamps on Serong and the rest of our midfield to go to work.

Should be a great test to see our midfield go head to head with another very strong midfield.

Hopefully dry Anus doesn’t get a hold of us up forward, kid has real talent

Bloody well said!

Yeah I agree but .. even if I'm one of the Hinkley sucks and I blame him for everything posters.

 

[RossFC]

I've got no idea why Freo are $3.40, this should be every bit as tough as the Melbourne game.

Is it because we won easy in the pre-season game?

 

[Schulzenfest]

Be the change you want to see

But I don't have the authority to sack Hinkley

No it won't. Freo still won't make finals.

Find it. I believe in you.

Freo games are ugly as hell to watch, that probably puts a dampener on things.

I'm expecting an ugly, stodgy, low scoring match where we kick it to Alex Pearce 100 times and scrape in by 2 or 3 goals, just because Freo aren't very good.

Differing sample sizes, but Butters Rozee JHF have not had great early form against Freo. Will be a breakout game for them I hope.

Wines and Boak do the heavy lifting each time.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Something will happen tonight then other things will happen in other games later but the important thing to remember is one day Hinkley shall be gone.

This too shall pass
