Game Day Tiges v Port
- Thread starter tigerman
- Start date
I think we should win but won’t be the end of the world if we don’t. We still have a stack of our best 22 missing (7 or 8?) and I believe Port have few injuries and are basically at full strength. If they can’t beat us now they never will.
We just need to finish in the top 4 and get the double chance. If we have close to our best squad available I’m confident we can beat anyone in the finals; especially in QLD. If West Coast get to play finals in Perth they’re our biggest danger. They grow another leg over there.
My only concern is that the draw against Scumwood and loss against Giants, both games we should have won, have left us a little exposed as far as top 4 goes. If we win every game it’s not an issue but they way this season is going that’s unlikely. We can probably drop one game, maybe two, and still make top 4.

Wouldn't mind seeing that either, but with Captain courageous not playing, I'm thinking that Fish might go into the midfield with Caddy on the wing.
Ports backline isn't that tall. They have a lot of mid sizers down there but only 2 players over 190. I think they will look to roll Lycett back there any chance they get to match up and take intercept marks.
We won't want our smalls to be competing much above their heads though, but we should be quicker if we can get the ball to ground and get George, Rioli , Aarts into the game.
First three players named in their team on AFL app all over 190cm’s. And Jonas plays tall. I must admit surprise in seeing that he is 188cm.
100% agree that we want to bring the ball to ground so that we can hopefully expose their leg speed. A couple of the boys need to prove why we kept them over Butler.
Ok missed Mckenzie at 191 but he's hardly a contested beast. Their 3 tallest defenders are shorter than ours so they aren't that tall. They will still roll Lycett back there for that reason. If Jack and Lynch can get their 2 opponents 1 on 1 I reckon they'll be licking their lips.
Yep, they might win today but I’ll bet Mabiors left knacker that they’ll fail in September.
The Weatherzone site is saying rain until after 9pm tonight, so expecting a wet track.
