Geelong v Port Adelaide, Semi Final, 2013

[quinny88]

I hope this is a close game. Nothing worse than a finals game being over half way through the second quarter.

If anyone thinks Geelong are cocky, they are kidding themselves. They have been one of the greatest teams to play in the history of the game over 7 years now and wouldn't be challenging once again if they were cocky. Freo are a clinical side. They grind teams away and Simmonds stadium suits the way they play their football to a T. Although it was a great win, it didnt shock me.

Port are young, energetic and exciting. They take risks and run and carry. Them beating Collingwood at the MCG was a fantastic win but there is a major difference between Collingwood and Geelong. The cats are a defensive juggernaught. Players like Taylor, Mackie, Lonergan, Hunt, wont be getting sucked up the ground and leaving Monfries one out inside 50 or Wingard all by himself. They are to smart and defensive minded to let that happen.
Geelong are a champion team with too much pride to go out in straight sets.

57 point winning average for Geelong the last 5 games between these teams
I hope its closer for the sake of the game as a spectacle but I imagine the cats should win comfortably

Geelong by 40

Sooooooo Keen!

Was expecting Hawkins to be a late out.

Taylor Hunt as sub surprises somewhat. I thought he would go to Boak.

Geelong should bounce back but hopefully it's close.

Carn the Power!

Every time Port kick it in, they should play on to themselves and run around him. I think it was North a few weeks ago that used that tactic to great effect.

Would last about 2 kick ins and they would put someone else on the mark lol

[Mr.Craig]

Port very flat footed.

[kilbluff1985]

No live scores? There was last week

[Mr.Craig]

That's better.

[Rusty00]

Great result for Port so far. Not only avoided the early blowout, but in front.

[Jroo]

Great start by Port, hopefully they keep it up.

[Dudge]

Please stay close to 3/4 time Power

Can't believe how many easy marks Geelong have dropped  :o
