Dale Harcombe | 6915 comments Goodness what a slaughter. The knives will be out now for Buckley and Collingwood from magpie haters.

What a brilliant last quarter by GWS! They were flying...the Swans were on the back foot the whole quarter! A great win by the underdog! (Sorry Dale!)

Yeah at quarter time there was a lightning storm with heavy rain. But the lightning hit one of the tall towers on the ground and they figured it was a bit close for comfort! So they had a lengthy quarter time:) The last quarter was great...they were only 10 points apart with about 20 mins left and GWS just kept the pressure on. Good on them, they played really well.

Richard did the picking this week and he has 0/2 so far!!!

One up on us then Michael!!

Dale Harcombe | 6915 comments Quite simply, we got beaten by the team who wanted it more. GWS deserved the win.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Jesus christ my tipping is off to a bad start. I picked Freo, but only by two goals, picked the Swans and Richmond.. christ.

Port tipped to win tonight though, lets do it boys.

★ Jess  | 3071 comments I'm on 2/3 so far. Didn't see that GWS win coming at all.

I've tipped Carlton, though I hope I'm wrong. It could go either way. If we play our best we should win.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Damnit Port, don't scare me like that.

Brenda | 80075 comments Mod
Oooh Carlton are getting away from them again...come on Port!


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) I never understand people who tip against their own team. Especially not against Carlton - Port and Carlton aren't poles apart, I could understand maybe if it was Hawthorn or Freo in their current form, but if you're tipping against Port in my opinion you're rooting for them to lose :/

I always pick the Cats, whoever they play!

Port are pulling away now!

Yes we are Cats supporters, and our son in Adelaide is a Crows supporter!! lol

Great win, but what a seesaw of a game!


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Port only turned on the engine at half time.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Great show in from the four newies too.

It sure keeps the spectators on their toes that type of game!

★ Jess  | 3071 comments How good was Polec <3


message 819: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 3071 comments Wines and Westhoff and Gray were all amazing too. Good to see we can still win without players like Wingard or Boak playing well.
Hopefully we can take that 4th quarter form into round 2!


message 820: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 3071 comments I secured my tickets, I think its the Eastern stand. I'm incredibly nervous.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Some legend in Port's social media division stuck this on Facebook after the 2nd quarter.

No power to watch anything at the moment:(

Brenda | 80075 comments Mod
Haha! Richard picked Carlton...hehe!!! He tossed up, wasn't sure, as Richmond were favourites:)


message 824: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 80075 comments Mod
Oh no he didn't Michael! I didn't think of that - I'll have to suggest it when he does his next picks;)


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Christ, I picked Carlton too.

Only got 6/9 last week, still leading tipping at work though.


message 826: by Dale (new)

Dale Harcombe | 6915 comments I picked Richmond but I have to admit towards the end I thought it was in doubt.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) HERE WE GO!! CARN THE PEAR!!!!


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) God I wish I could've been there :( hope Michael and Jess you had a great day - I dunno if it's optional really :P


message 829: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 3071 comments *Cries tears of joy*


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) From any perspective that was a crushing win, but when the Crows were in front halfway through the third quarter?

South Australia has a new team for all South Australians.

Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Solid performance from Impey and White as well, loved the slapping the top! Polec too, obviously.

Four quarter performance was great to see! Even without the 5-goal smashing at the end of the third quarter, you couldn't say that Port were losing it. Put the foot down and kept it down from the first siren.

Now to keep that going.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Wow I wonder why that was.


message 833: by Liam || Books 'n Beards (last edited Mar 30, 2014 05:50AM) (new)

Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) That was sarcasm. :P




message 834: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 3071 comments Amazing game, incredible atmosphere, best result.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) First two rounds I'm on 6/9 both times. Not too shabby.

Better than everyone else at work, anyway :P

Well done Michael!


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird)

All class, this guy.


message 838: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 3071 comments I was in the grand stand, when a crows supporter got up to leave he pulled down his pants and showed his butt to us all. About 4 Port supporters jumped on the opportunity to literally kiss his ass.


message 839: by Lily (new)

Lily Malone | 102 comments Hubby's a Crow's fan. He's not happy tonight either, Michael.
On the other hand, I'm a West Coast Eagles supporter, and so I'm doing fine... (Mix a West Coast win with the few glasses of wine I enjoyed while watching the game... I'm a very happy camper) ;)

Yes happy we are on the board, Michael.

Port and North Melbourne are close right about now!!!

Brenda | 80075 comments Mod
Just finished, only 7 points, but it's still a loss...never mind!


message 843: by Dale (new)

Dale Harcombe | 6915 comments Michael wrote: "Bugger, oh well we didn't lose like the Crows did."

Norths/Port was a good game to watch. Same with the Geelong/Collingwood game.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Really hope Monfries' hammie isn't too bad. Sarge and Wingards' feet/ankles, too.


message 845: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 3071 comments Ugh disgusting game. Crucial players getting injured, deplorable umpiring (serious wtf), Port playing terribly. Though I guess if all that equal a 7 point loss its not too bad. Bit of a reality check.

Hopefully the injures aren't too bad. I think if Monfries had'nt injured himself and kicked the goal, we would have won...


message 846: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 3071 comments He will probably be left out just to be safe. Should win without him, fingers crossed.

So you should be Michael. I think they are dong well and have some great players and coach.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Monfries out for no longer than a month, Wingard is out for this weekend too, Schulzy is good to play though.


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Hopefully it'll be another good weekend for the Saints :P
