March To The Finals - 2020.

[tha8ball]

Ah well bring it on I say. It’s probably a challenge Hardwick wants - beating those pretenders on their home deck. We have done the Brisbane narrative! We go over there with a few handy extra players that didn’t play last time.. Cotchin, Edwards, Nankervis, Astbury, Houli, Graham... to name a few.

Port will be digging their own grave if they want to manipulate the Collingwood game.

If we knew after round 3 or 4 that we could wrap Up 3rd and a Gabba final v Bris By beating the wooden spooner... we would Have been dancing in the street.

The bad news is ... v Adelaide in Adelaide

It’s never been a happy hunting ground.

Don‘t you love that 3rd position - get the second chance and to play in our away strip which I really like, have some deep affection for that strip since 2017 - and that strip inspires the umpires to see us differently. Play at the Gabba where we have so many fans.

Adelaide I can’t see causing to many problems - we want as many good hit outs as possible rather than a ”bye game“

If it all goes to plan, we don’t get to travel again - make it happen tigers as for the first time this year I am starting to really really believe - get excited people.

2017 finished 3rd = premiers
2018 finished 1st = lost in prelim final
2019 finished 3rd = premiers
2020 win next weekend and we are 3rd

the stars are aligning

Great Scott’s post-match comments made me laugh. Basically, he thinks Geelong is better and still premiership favourites. He resorted to disguising his petulance as humility rather than admit we’re the better team.

Richmond only appeared to be better, but Geelong is actually better. Geelong are the true premiership favourites, it’s just the circumstances they faced weren’t a
fair assessment.

Can you imagine winning this flag and a few weeks later watching a YouTube compilation of Scott’s comments from 2017-now? That would be worth the price of your 17-game membership right there.

If Port win week 1 of finals, will they get a home Prelim?

If Port win week 1 of finals, will they get a home Prelim?

Think so whereas WC not?

Maybe I have it wrong.

Maybe it’s just the first final but I think Port are advantage should they win their first final.

At this stage I think it’s Yes cause SA has different border restrictions to WA

This is correct.

AFL confirm details on Grand Final and preliminary finals

PORT ADELAIDE would host a preliminary final at Adelaide Oval if it qualifies, the AFL has confirmed on Wednesday.

There was some speculation that both preliminary finals would be held in Queensland with the AFL Grand Final to be played there as well.

Confirming the Grand Final would be played at the Gabba at night for the first time, AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan also removed any doubt about where the prelims would be held.

“So Port Adelaide could have a prelim in Adelaide without a problem?” one journalist asked.

“Yep,” was McLachlan’s response.

Earlier he had confirmed there would be a bye in the week before finals and said the earlier finals should be able to be played in South Australia or Western Australia if required.

“If West Coast qualify, we’d like to play a week one home final in Perth. Maybe the bye helps us with that but we need to work through a seven-day hard quarantine (in Western Australia) and the logistics of that.

“Clearly in South Australia we don’t have those challenges.”

Upsets have been pretty rare so assuming this continues for 1 more round:

Port will beat Collingwood
Richmond will beat Adelaide
WC will beat North
Brisbane will beat Carlton
Geelong will beat Sydney

that’ll mean a:
Port v Geelong
WC v Collingwood
Brisbane v Richmond

as the main finals for week one.

And whoever, St Kilda, Bulldogs.

But footy never runs as smoothly as we anticipate, does it....

Playing Port away in week 1 doesn't bother me in the slightest. If anyone thinks the last game against them will be a true indication, tell them they are wrong. We will do to Dixon what we did to Hawkins last week.

Also, I feel Brisbane are long overdue to beat us, much like we were against Geelong in 2017. I think I'd prefer Port and save Brisbane for later on.

Kenny reckons Port aren't gettin enough love....

welcome to our world. 2 flags later and all we get is jealousy and hate.

2017 finished 3rd = premiers
2018 finished 1st = lost in prelim final

2020 win next weekend and we are 3rd

1980 as well. Finished 3rd and premiers.

Agree Ian4.

Would be weary of BrisVegas as you pointed out.
Hope not this year though.

Flag is open to quite a few teams. Not a gimme.

Port can't finish lower than 2nd, not sure how hard they 'll be trying to beat the Filth. They won't want to play the Cats after getting pumped by them by 10 goals a month ago.
They're deluded enough to think they can beat us, how sweet it will be to shut them and Cornes up.

Yep........................and loving it!!!

 

[Harry]

Pies will beat Port. They will want to avoid going to perth

 

[Tass]

I couldn’t care less who we play, as long as we do what we have to do and that is beat Adelaide. End of story

I think we’ll get geelong In a prelim so They can show us how good they are then

 

[Quickdraw]

Yep........................and loving it!!!
