Round 7: Port v Centrals - Saturday 27 May @ Alberton Oval

Port v Centrals
Saturday 27 May
Alberton Oval

Reserves: 11:30am
League: 2:10pm

Both sides are coming off losses last week. Who will bounce back this week?

i fear a massacre coming up, the Power reserves by 12-15 goals

If we dish up the same as our first qtr against South it will be like sending lambs to the slaughter.All we ask is for an effort and to have a crack dont think for a second we can win on what we have shown so far this year.

Might be a good time for the Dogs to play away from home and against a rival they know they will have to get down and dirty against. On recent form you couldn't pick the Dogs, but Im sensing an upset. Will return with prediction once lineups are published.

I think Port will win easily, around 5 goals. For the Dogs to cause an upset they need to attack the ball and body hard for 4 quarters, the Power reserves have shown to be a bit fragile at times which is surprising given that most if not all of the team are AFL listed

Scrunch i would love to be wrong but our only chance is if Port dont turn up going on on what we have seen this year a 10 goal loss will be the best we can hope for.

I hear you SB, but sometimes in footy teams surprise us by throwing recent form out the window. That's more along the lines of what I'm sensing (which I'll readily concede might prove a very incorrect call).

When the game was dry, Centrals were more than competitive against the Magpies, leading for the majority of the first half in a tight contest.

The rain came just before half time and Centrals turned to water as Port completely overran them.

being ''overrun'' is it fitness again ?

Bayman you would expect Port to finish better than us they are AFL players they should be far fitter than us.

That is correct if it happened only yesterday but they have been in strong positions against Glenelg & Norwood & tired badly, so i think it must be fitness, you can't be good for a half & woeful after that, something has to be wrong & fitness is the obvious answer to me
