Question:
Who will win?
Option 1: Kangaroos
votes: 5
Option 2: Power
votes: 19
Another tough game for the Roos. Will the Power strengthen their position on the ladder?
Actually think Kangas win this one
I like what I've seen from Port so far, I think they can win this.
Port Adelaide over 15.
Port Adelaide looking very good so far in 2014, their fitness is on another level. Won't be a blowout, but I expect PA to win by a good 20 points.
Let's see if Port can put up a better showing than the last time these two met.

Port were insipid in the first quarter.
A lot of really important (almost must win) games for teams this week. This is one for the Kangas.

Haha mate, only havin' a little jab ;) Your mob are playing far too well this season not to cop a little banter!
North got no chance
Power going to thump the Roos. Just too good.
On form Port should win. North Melbourne need to improve on what they have done in the first 2 weeks to get the job done. Port by 24 points.
I also reckon that a big factor could be how Goldy goes.
Im shocked im the first person that voted for the Kangas! :o They have had a slow start to the year but if they get there game up and going they are just about unstoppable at Etihad. I think they will win by 30

Highlighted the key word ;)
They only really did enough against the Dogs at Etihad. They'll need to lift their game A LOT if they plan on taking points off Port.

Yeah absolutely. They are a very hot and cold side but I rate them really highly. Should be a good game

Yeah for sure, I like the Roos but I dont know about their reliance on some players. If Jay-Z and one of Thomas or Petrie have quiet games it will always be an uphill battle for them.
Should be another tight one though, looking forward to it 8)
Quinny have you watched both of Ports games?
The Kangas are one of, if not the worst side in the comp at closing out a game, whereas Port are the best finishing team in the comp. The Kangas will need to be up by 30+ at 3QT to stand a chance, and I don't see that happening.

Port will win this Roos just don`t look that good at all
Port Adelaide FC @PAFC 11s
FINAL TEAM: No changes. Pittard to start as SUB. Impey, Cornes, Cassisi starting on the bench #aflnorthpower #weareportadelaide
North Melbourne @NorthKangaroos 1m
TEAM: Jack Ziebell is OUT of todays game. He is replaced by Ben Jacobs, who is also the starting substitute #aflnorthpower
Good to see Matty White gets a full game after a great effort last week. Hope he can go well again today and shake that "super sub" tag!
Thanks Kenny for not making Impey sub. Will he get the Thomas match up?
My boy Jarman Impey avoids the vest once more. 8)

+1 mate. cmon Matty
tipped Port but want the Roos to win
I tipped the Roos to win this as my upset of the week. They had a good record at Etihad and Port's is pretty average there. I just saw the Ziebell out which will hurt
Currie needs a ton. It's my one wish for the rest of the season.
righto Polec. out of the minuses please.

Get around Lobbe 3 tackles in the first 10 minutes.
Wow that was the worst umpiring non-call of the year against Cornes!
yep. still in the minuses. lets get moving please.
I chocked on my food when I saw that
Umpiring not great so far
Currie is getting near it but not getting his hands on the footy!

Roos tagging Gray whilst Wines etc run amok good move there
Does Sandy Roberts know any of these players names? I've counted 3 he's called incorrectly and 2 he didn't say a name as he didn't know who it was ::)
Poooooooleeeeeeeeec
whereeeeeee aareeeeeee youuuuuu
Not getting near it
Reversed trades, it put him back on field and ellis and dunstan on bench. Not as planned, doh!
Currie please get lots of points. Please! :)

Few points for Polecci, here he comes! ;)
If I shake my head any more at what I'm seeing it will fall off.
Go HHarts, go!
Polec SC?
Lindsey Thomas cracks me up. He really does have the head of a 50 year old lol
Good but scrapy game
Quite a few controversial umpire decisions to say the least...
Just a cheeky 80 points next half pls Polec, give me some dignity

He's actually the biggest muppet sometimes.
If North are to win they have to get a decent lead this quarter. Port will more then likely run over them in the last.

Polec for 41 at HT. Not bad, considering he hasn't don't much. Big second half mate :)
Much better from Polec & Impey, the latter should have a goal to his name as well.
Thanks Q :P
Not sure how Polec suddenly jumped to 41. Was sitting on 21 then in the last minute they gave him an extra 20 points!

Don't riddle me with your questions, just let me have the points
Oh I'm not complaining!
Swear Hartlett should have a higher score though.
"Pinged a string".
Monfries is gone.
He was dominating, so big loss.
Agree with you HB, Hartlett has been close to BOG.
These umpires are more inconsistent than a moody teenage girl.
Port really burning the Roos with counter attack slingshot.
Come on Wingard, tis but a scratch.
Guys got to go whats polec sc and mcdonald plz quick!!!
Currie looks absolutely useless. His face plant on the grass (http://content.boards.philadelphiaeagles.com/public/style_emoticons/default/sideroll.gif)

So where have North been hiding Greenwood ?? must be close to their best player
hopefully Polec kicks the winning goal or something. 50+ quarter please
EDIT: I'd be happy with 30 actually
Why is everyone concerned with Polec's score
He will be in the majority of teams so his score is cancelled out

Of all the forward rookies he was second only to Taylor who scored 2 more. Had he drilled that goal it would have been a good game. Pity it didn't go through but thems the breaks.

Great learning curve for the kid.
You beauty ;D good to see we could finally hold onto one of those close games we couldn't win last year
Yes! I'll sleep easy tonight
Bloody ruined my footy tips! Could have stuck to the reputation....
Thank you North. I got another tip up on second which I think puts me two clear in the work comp. Port still look the goods and should make the 8, Gus going off hurt them since he was so dangerous before his injury.
Gotta say I'm quite surprised with the result today but well played NM

Interesting that Dal Santo said he's just completed the hardest preseason he's ever done. Which is often said every year. But maybe North may have felt that fitness was the issue in closing out games. They finished off the game today, and the game against the bullies last week.

Yeah didn't see the game, so was shocked when I saw North overran them in the last. Apparently Port just stopped?
