GAMEDAY: PF 2020 Port v Rich

Christ.... I hated that!
On an entirely different subject. ... does anyone have much of an idea about what sort of numbers we'll have of the faithful there tomorrow night?
Perfect- every little motivational edge we can find the better - and 250 Cotch games is pretty special - it ain’t little - could be the difference.
Yes the media have really gone to sleep on this one, Er, actually, it’s the tigers so let’s just put in the bottom draw as it’s considered a good news story.
Spot on, Zed
I for one was pleased that the Tigers had to play last week. Reckon the team will be better off for last week's game rather than having sat around waiting. Being in the hub for over 100 days there has been too much down time. The Tigers like to play and it got an extra game into Prestia, Edwards and Astbury.
If the Tigers hit hard early then Port will start to get concerned that its season of sitting atop the ladder will disappear down the drain quicker than it can appreciate.
Beat Port and they will probably end up like the Crows, a bumbling, mentally disintegrated mess.
Yeah I reckon getting away and playing away from the bubble will do us a lot of good.
Last week showed we stepped up a gear and if the footy gods are with us then we will go up another gear and show Port and the AFL who is boss
In 2017 I was monumentally confident. In 2018 I was trepidatious. In 2019 I was nervous but thought we would win. In 2020....I am very very nervous and have no idea what's gonna happen!
-They are the No 1 clearance side.
-This is something the last few weeks we have worked on & it’s helped getting the ‘midfield band back’.
-They are no 1 defensive unit & we are No 2.
-They are No 2 attacking side & we are No 3.
shapes up as ‘one hell of a fight’.
Nothing really separates these sides, so it’s going to be which leaders stand up, which young players ( also game wise ) will rise to the occasion & which coach sticks to its strengths / system the longest.
I just have an uneasy gut feeling. Going to struggle to do any work tomorrow.
People we are good.
Port ain’t that all that. This season there are only two teams that can beat us at their best - WC (never got rolling) and Brisbane.
Port are fraudulent.
They banked early wins after clearly hitting the chaotic season opening like a steam train.
They are good structurally and win the pill with genuine grunt, but that’s where it ends.
Astbury is our most important player tomorrow night. Port will look to bang it in to Charlie. Dave won’t panic, he’s seen it all before.
What else they got? There’s a sprinkling of class but it is easily smothered. The midfield bulls aren’t clean under pressure.
We got far more weapons. Class, cohesion, Lynch, Dusty. Jack will bob up. I can feel it, bruh.
And then there’s the backline. Quite simply the best I’ve seen in Tiger jumpers.
Port are fraudulent. Far more worried about Brisbane in the GF. And we’ll beat them too.
We’re the best team in the comp. Seven goal margin tomorrow.

Reckon we’ll control the game for most of the first half. We have to make the most of our opportunities.
they come back in the second half.
Yep. If we missed last week we would have had one game in 28 days stuck in the hub.
Port lost 3 games. To Brisbane, St Kilda and Geelong. All have pretty good forward lines and Port's defence was exposed.
Our forwards are quality and will stretch them.
Halve the center bounces/stoppages and we'll beat them.

I think we will destroy them.
I'll be surprised if the final margin is less than 5 goals.
Port is a team that does not handle the weight of expectation. Home game, home crowd, favs with the bookies. Recipe for a Port disaster.
