We're 7-1. Does anyone think we can beat Port?

[The Doctor]

I think we can take them down. We are a good team.

Ports record this year is

5 good wins by an ave of 50 points vs bottom eight teams (North, Ess, Carlton. Saints, Crows)

2 beltings by contending teams for the finals (West Coast &Brisbane) away from home

1 narrow win vs Richmond by 2 points at home

They have won all their home games.

Seem like flat track bullies to me. It will be tough to play them at home but we have the firepower to hurt them. I'll take the 'we can squeak it out option'

[BornInDroopSt'54]

With the question being can rather than will it is clear we can.
Port, Dees and Geelong atm are the trio to beat and Port at home is as difficult as it gets but we can win with a four quarter effort and efficient transitions to our forwards.
English will help.

One of my favourite H & A games of 2016 was Port in Adelaide.

This is easy game of the round.

Assuming Sweet will keep his spot, he’ll be thrilled to play to a near full house at AO. His continued development in the centre will be fascinating, he got shaded for hit outs last Sunday but we dominated centre clearances.

Lycett’s a big out

That game ruled. Really high level of skill from both teams and won by our star players seizing the moment. I’ve gone back and watched it a few times.

[Mofra]

But remember, not allowing the opposition to enter our defencive fifty is apparently a bad thing.

Our set-up defends as high (or higher) than other clubs, I assume that has an impact as well.

[MrMahatma]

Feels like the kind of match we lose after putting in a good effort. But I’ll still tip us!

[The Pie Man]

Dogs win an epic!

So good

Has Dixon ever not turned up to play us? Always a big worry

[Happy Days]

That’s the one. Nothing makes me feel like I’ve travelled through time like seeing Stringer in full flight.

Only game I've seen live at the Adelaide Oval, will probably find it hard to top.

Yeah, in his first season for the Suns, did bugger all!

[bulldogsthru&thru]

I remember last year our biggest downfall was poor inside 50 entries. They picked off so many. Really hoping English gets up but Naughton and Bruce are in much better form so hopefully we take more of our chances.

[Bulldog Joe]

That’s the one. Nothing makes me feel like I’ve travelled through time like seeing Stringer in full flight.

That was probably his last really good game for us.

Best game I've been to that wasn't a final. Was perfect.

[DOG GOD]

I don’t think we can. Our last 3 games against GWS, Rich and Carlton have showed patches where lack of defensive pressure has been paramount. If we play like we did in the first 3 quarters against Carlton this Saturday night, we have no chance of coming back. They will bring continued pressure, and that met with the home crowd will prove too much on the night.

Have you tipped us to win a game yet this year?
