Mission : Port Adelaide

If we're going to do it, and I hope we do, then we need to do it right from the start. I'm sick of giving the opposition a head start.tigerdave said:

It (EF loss) might make a difference to the players' attitude, but I won't be holding my breath.
When Jack died, when Tommy died and the follow-up revenge game against the same old Rabble, we couldn't even light a fart less burn a hole in our guts.
I think it will be a good test of character for the team, because Port are going to come out all guns blazing and we'll have to combat that if we want take the 4 points home.Chiang Mai Tiger said:

Disagree, training and loading takes its toll... This coming from an ex ironman, tapering is massive and someone like burgess would know exactly what he is doing i would guess when its reported hes on close to a mil a year!
Ive wondered whether we are in the same boat actually (the brightsider in me), its reported as it is every year that we flogged the players.. Saw last weekend a bit more run from Big Ivan, Cotch, Grimes etc than previously this season... Not saying we will go and demolish the competition going forward, however its the new chaps 2nd year and im sure they stepped it up on last year, one has to hope anyhow!
Been something missing with the Porters for a couple of weeks . Maybe a good Wine is what they need to get the balance back. Tigers a big sniff if Lids & Cotch fire ag ain & Porters perform like their last two gallops. They have talls Ryder ,Lobbe & Westhoff so Tigers have to match them man to man. Maric then a carve up between TV, Griff or McBean. It will be interesting to see who Dim Sim plays , as the Tigers have to get another scalp under their belt before Round 10.
Milestone games have never invoked passion or effort from RFC, why are port able to do that?Tigertough1974 said:

Given we made finals in 2013 why didn't we set long term goals? don't try to give us credit where it isn't due.
Are they? I seem to remember an important game for Port in 2010, in driving rain, where they were completely and utterly panted by the supposed worst team in the competition, who up to that point had not won a game for the season.22nd Man said:
Possibly we did and messed them up. concrete boots first half of the year, nine wins in a row on top of the ground. Again, perhaps we overcooked our boys early and lost more games than we ever expected, tapered them, won nine but ran out of gas. Not trying to give credit, its all hypothesis. Perhaps it was all just Dimmas fault...22nd Man said:

Of all the posters on here, AF, you're lack of actual football knowledge shines the brightest.
Thank you my friend. You are truly a beacon of such wondrous ignorance I doubt there's anyone who could possibly fail to feel better off after reading your posts.
I have a feeling we are going to play well again. Not sure if that means we win but I am expecting a very competitive Tiger outfit this week.
