Re: IS PORT POWER becomng the bigger club!
port only need probably 6 more wins to make the 8, out of 15 games
crows would need about 9 out of 15

Re: IS PORT POWER becomng the bigger club!
Over majority of the past seasons, 11 wins has been enough to make the 8. If we aren't good enough to win those 8, then fair enough we don't make the 8.adelaidebloke wrote:port only need probably 6 more wins to make the 8, out of 15 games

Port have a no risk policy. Lobbe didn't play for that exact reason either.MegaBonus wrote:Let's just say that he could've played.......but isn't.....

Gutsy win today, Freo are awful to watch (today was a bit like watching AU vs CCM). Was a gutsy win today anyway in front of another very healthy crowd. Sitting on top before the bye followed by hawks, melbourne and st kilda. Could really set ourselves up for a top 4 finish over the next month

Re: IS PORT POWER becomng the bigger club!
yes....but don't tell anyone......they were impressive...
anything but a grand final appearance will be a failure...
they've got a depleted Hawthorn next......looks like luck has favoured those who have 'begged, borrowed and stolen'...

Re: IS PORT POWER becomng the bigger club!
just beng a good top 8 side again this year i think is a great achievement.
dont think putting pressure on having to make the GF is accurate.

Re: IS PORT POWER becomng the bigger club!
MegaBonus is right... although GF might be a stretch, if you finish top 4 and don't make the prelim, then it's a fail. No point trying to keeping a lid on it now... Port are top with a record of 7-1; no where to hide. If you don't strike while the iron is hot, you might miss out all together (think Carlton 2012).adelaidebloke wrote:just beng a good top 8 side again this year i think is a great achievement.

Re: IS PORT POWER becomng the bigger club!
I think top 4 is very possible especially if we knock off the hawks. I personally have thought we are still a year or two from being flag contenders but the boys have certainly proven their worth so far. It'll be great to sustain this and I hope we do. I believe we will continue to improve in years to come. If we win the flag this season, we can definitely create a Geelong like dynasty.

Re: IS PORT POWER becomng the bigger club!
Knock off the Hawks and you would think top 4 is almost a certainty with Melbourne and St Kilda being the 2 games after that to cement a top 4 spot. But all focus is on the Hawks now, not beyond that. Regardless of the players they have out, they are going to be tough to knock off. Hopefully 50k can get the Power home

I actually meant to write 40K, since Port have only once gotten more than that for a non-showdown game.

Is that relevant to size?adelaidebloke wrote:will crows make the 8........LOL...pride of south australia appear to be again a bottom 8 side!!
If we finish 9th or 10th, will you be appathetic, since you haven't included that range in your assessment?

Re: IS PORT POWER becomng the bigger club!
For you ignorant Crows fans, our next game is against Hawthorn on a Saturday night, and it is sold out, there will be 50k there. Also, our crowd of 38k last weekend was the best in the AFL on a Saturday arvo. Cute to see Crows fans are still worried about our crowds, which in fact have doubled in size this season. Smell the fear

Congrats on getting the best crowd in the AFL for a Saturday afternoon (38K).
Oh, except for Crows v Sydney game. (47K)

Good on you, beating the Pies is a good effort. Probably helped us out a bit by taking a team off our backs. But in case you forgot...
