Home ground advantage will do us fine.

Hope someone runs through hes little weed of a brother this week. Ill never forget that night in Adelaide as I was there when he stuck hes finger up at Nick Davis and Nick didnt even do anything back but the Brods (as always) stepped in and stamped hes authority. This was the same night when Pebbles kicked it over the post but also the same year we went back to Adelaide and play them in the Qualifying final and upset them in front of about 12000 Pies fans and 10 Port fans LOL!

Mmmm - always a bit of feeling in this one. Have watched them lately - they are playing good brand of footy and if we give to much easy ball they will use it to advantage.

Problem will be WHite, Tredrea and possibly Lade fwd.

Brogan out means Lade will not be forward as much thank god...and tredrea generally takes a few weeks to come back after serious injuries...he was out of touch last week.

The key is to stop the burgoynes quite simply. Licuria has always done the job on Peter Burgoyne...but whether he has the legs to do it any more is the question. Would be starting Licca on Peter Burgoyne, and maybe throwing the gauntlet down to Heath Shaw or R. Shaw to take Sean Burgoyne. Stop the burgoynes we will win

Lade is more dangerous on the ball than sitting forward.

I'm not sure how to manufacture it, but we've got to stop giving teams a headstart each week. If we can begin the way we finished last week we'll have no problems. One thing's for certain, there's no place for Wakelin this week. We need speed.

[Cam]

We need speed.

Pity Benny is in Malibu...

[ad4eva]

We have to be crisp and pin point

display a first half like we did last week and we will be 50 points down and effectivly out of the match.

Hit targets, find our forwards in the forward 50 and dont give an inch in the backline we should win comfortably

[panga]

HAVE to hit targets this week... They will be too quick and punish us if we don't.

Hopefully Licca can only turn the ball over 5 times, maybe we'll be right then.

[Dark Lord]

Problem will be Tredrea.

What? Presti's Bitch? Never!

[Streak]

Problem will be Tredrea.

What? Presti's Bitch? Never!

One of my favourite moments in football involves Tredrea.

It was the 2003 semi-final (I believe), grand final spot up for grabs if we can knock off Port at the MCG. I think it was the 4th quarter, when we had the game pretty much dominated, when Tredrea, trying hard to will his team to respectability, ran into an open goal... and kept running, only kicking the ball after he crossed the line.

One of my favourite moments in football was the look on his face as he crossed the line.

Pies at $1.88 to win at TABsportsbet is great value!!

We will spank these guys just like last year at the dome!

Pies by 57 points.

Mixed feelings about this game for some reason. That Lade always seems to have a good game against us. We really need Jimmy back in. This isn't Richmond we are playing!!!
