The thing that might beat us is the travel, any idea on what time the flight left? When teams were traveling out of Bris to play it Sydney it was a 4.30am flight. I imagine with travel time and the time of game it will be similar.
I recall another team saying they didn't mind the in and out same day flight from Queensland..leave fly rest prepare play and head home.
Remember it is only a generation ago that the "long trip to Corio" was considered to be a disadvantage to Melb teams.

Port’s backline is very tall. Will be looking for small quick players to expose this. Also I would be pushing Caddy forward through the game to do some crash and bash, so they don’t get cheap third man up marks.

I heard on one of the news services report that we're sharing a flight back to Qld on Sunday with "Adelaide ".... I imagine he meant Port... Anyway, uncomfortable silence on one side of the aisle I'm tipping!

I'm calling it now – the band of brothers are re-forming and will showcase their latest hits today.

Pickett and Stack gradually improved to join Bolton.

Now it's Rioli's turn to go up a level and take his rightful place.

And if Chol wants to be the fifth Beatle, I'm happy with that, too.

If we lose today I'm putting it down to not wanting to sing the club song in front of the cameras

Hmmm, just about every recent game the opposition have received at least 2 x free kicks in the 1st couple minutes.
Can't see much changing at a game in Adelaide, we need to beat the Power and the Umpires.

Port look like they’re shortening in the betting market which may be as a result of the off field rubbish the media have been circle jerking to. C’mon Tigers, let’s put them all back their place.

Richmond drifted significantly in the 24 hours before the game against Brisbane as well.
