Two of the most improved sides of the year - Port need a victory to stay in the eight, while the Lions need one to stay in touch.
Not much interest in these 2 teams but this could be a very good game.
A 130 from Ebert again would top off my weekend. ;D
Really hope the Lions get up so Carlton stay in the 8 ! Come on Brisbane !!

Two relatively relevant fantasy players I guess but at this time of the year they'll most likely be D8 anyway for those who still have them.
GO LIONS!
I think I tipped Port, so yeah, go Port. :P
Rocky and staker lets go. Please tag hartlett out of the game sub 70 from him would help me a lot.
Up the Lions. Now that Crows finals hopes are relatively gone the next best result is for Port to not make finals.

Hahahaha ;D
Carlile and trengove spent ten minutes taking pot shots from fifty out on the boundary. Kane was juggling the footy then volleying for goal. Hoff and butch were taking proper set shots and missing. Cornes was running up and down the boundary. Everyone looks so relaxed.

Well probably get smashed Q1 Hinkley will give em a spray come out and dominate the last 3 and win.
Well the 3 games i've gone to this year have been exactly like that.
Just remember brisbane has a strong finish as well so it may be an interesting game with both starting slowly and whoever comes home the stronger wins. Go Lions.
Sorry Holz with big games from Hartlett, Staker, Rocky and Gray to assist my SC team reach 2500
Lions win by 30 comfortably. Port pretenders.

fight me IRL Nails ;)
Come on Brisbane ! Do it for the Blues ;)
Wouldn't mind 120 from Rocky either.
Surprised with the Lester replacement by Crisp - Lester had been playing mid and Crisp is a forward so interesting replacement. If they wanted a forward I would have gone Lisle myself. And would have probably chosen Harwood as the replacement myself.
I hate you Hamish Hartlett.
I love you hamish hartlett
42 SC Points from Hartlett at 1/4 time Keep them coming but a win for Lions.
I remember going to corresponding game last year and Rocky was terrible. Has an average of 74.7 at AAMI.
Staker hasn't touches the ball in the second quarter, LIFT!
Hamish Hartlett actually doing something :o
Boak's reached his total from last week.
Convinced the AFL do not want a Queensland team in Finals Free kick count 13 - 6 to Port. Brown has had 3 obvious push in the back not paid yet port get them up the other end. just want some consistency Brisbane have only won the free kick count twice this season.
Really hope HH tons up. Rocky got more of the ball that quarter which was good.
flowering hartlett.
useless all flowering year, trade him. and now he gets 90 and 56 from a half >:(
-same can be said with Ibbotson
Hartlett and Rocky please ton up. Also Lions please win.
This has to be the worst flowering officiated game ever.
SOOO many Port Adelaide throws not seen, so many Port Adelaide FA that should be given but not counted...
Then K. Mitchell goes to his knees himself and headbutts a guy in the thigh... That's a free kick because K. Mitchell headbutted him? WTF UMPIRES
GET YOUR shower TOGETHER. Lions would be 2-3 up if umpires weren't helping Port stay in this.
Free kick count 20 - 8 at 3/4 time. Umpires doing their best to keep port in the 8.
Yeah the umpires have been crap today. Brisbane have got A very raw deal. The Mitchell free was pathetic just to name 1 of them. Free kick count 20 to 8 in ports favour
Come on Lions !
Mitchell with 5 FF and 0 FA's :o
Broadbent is playing a ripper game
C'mon Lions!
This guy Chad "The Boss" Wingard will be the best since Ablett :o
#Wingard2014
Lock and load lads !
Don't want to be "that guy"
but Lions were robbed by the umpires.
Nooooooooooooooo :'( :'(
Port have 24 players on the field, Lions would get a free kick put the umps are playing for port
Happy with Hartlett 103. I'll reluctantly take rockys 93. Wish lions won :(

Slaughtered yes, robbed of the win? NO!
Got to win it, Lions couldn't score! Can't blame the Ump if you can't kick a goal for 25 minutes!
The only goals Port kicked were from free kicks tbag...
Cry, Whinge whatever, you were never winning that game!
Also, no they didn't ???

Spot on TBag, well said.
Correction 3 of Ports Goals were a result of free kicks just to set the record right. hard to score in the final quarter when the umps were not paying free kicks to brisbane for chopping the arms, in the back, htb etc to allow brisbane to get forward. Leg up to Port imo.
The story of Brisbane this year :(

Well, we've heard the negative spin in this thread, so i'll give you the (mainly) positive stuff, that i saw, from the 2nd row at AAMI Stadium.
- Port played terrible, way too much handball, and shocking turnovers, and stuff that will see us get slaughtered in finals. If we bring that effort next week, Crows will take us to the cleaners. I haven't seen enough of Brisbane to know whether they were good or not, but they played alright from what i was watching.
- The two sides, how brilliant are they gonna be! Equal 3rd youngest in the comp, and i can see these two which were at the top 9 years ago, will find themselves at the top again in the coming years.
- The fk count doesn't need to be equal every match, there are times where skewed fk counts happen, and it's footy. Port have been robbed by the umps aswell this season (most notably the 38-15 against North in a 10pt loss) if you want to use that as an excuse. Most of what i saw today was fair enough, and can see why the umps paid what they did. Remember you get a better view watching on TV, as the camera is above ground level.
- The Mitchell free kick Nails, i believe i know which one you were talking about, extremely unlucky i say, he fell and the Brisbane player, who, wasn't expecting him to fall, copped Mitchell's head to his thigh. :(
Overall though, one win closer to September action, andthat is what counts at the end for Port, the players didn't look overly happy with the win, they know what the aim is. :)
Very fair assesment PB well done and agree both sides will be up there next year.
Oh yeah, one more thing. We got 22 thousand at the game today, Crows vs Geelong last week got 26 thousand. Not bad for a team which only gets 35% of the deal in SA. (Figures i've seen mentioned)
Reminded me of some of our Rivalries from the early 2000's PB great to see it continue.

Luckily for us there is a SHOWDOWN tis week :o
Also, first sunny day at Footy park in months ::)
Bring it!
Yes there is a Showdown this week, which is why i've been nice and supportive of the Crows over the recent weeks, as i'm not very confident :P
