We seem to do better when playing a team with a milestone game. SOS's 300th and Sheedy's last game in Melb are two that spring to mind.

The win against Port in the rain in 2010 was some sort of milestone for them too. 100 years or something like that.Nico said:We seem to do better when playing a team with a milestone game. SOS's 300th and Sheedy's last game in Melb are two that spring to mind.
That was what I thought too. Need to be at it right from the start. They're going to throw everything at us early.Tigers of Old said:Hardwick needs to have the team up early to quell the Cornes factor. A repeat of last week's first term or anything like last year's EF and we will be in all sorts of trouble.
Can't let Port get their tails up whatsoever. We've got to be ready to play from the opening bounce. Weather the storm and we'll be a chance, otherwise forget it.

Or that we didn't come to play.Kaelan said:If we lock down on them in the centre and limit our turnovers coming out of the back half I give us some chance . Also need to capitalise on inside 50s with scoreboard pressure . What I don't want to hear post match from Dimma is we couldn't get the game on our terms !!

If we are to have any chance we need to start well, stifle their confidence and keep the crowd quiet.

Your loyalty to Hardwick is admirable but lets start crowing when we beat them on the weekend.
