How do we beat Port?

[dwaino]

Get through this then it will be a vulnerable Freo.

Talk it up boys.

We're gonna smash these idiots

I wanna start like last week, kick the first 5 with visions of the port box looking the mayor of Hiroshima

Think a key battle here will be if Peggy can out President Kochy.

I hope one of our major sponsors can print up the GOAL posters in time.

They need to read GOAL DUSTY, GOAL LIDS, GOAL COTCH, GOAL MILESY, GOAL JACK, GOAL GRIFFO, GOAL TITCH, GOAL TY, GOAL ELLIS, GOAL  GORDO, GOAL VLASTI, GOAL CONCS, GOAL FOLEY...

Port won't know what hit them if we all showed our poster signs every time a goal was scored... GO TIGERS YELLOW N BLACK.

Lets create a hoodoo that Port won't know how to handle.

They are already spooked by us with their whinging and whining about their guernsey.

The richmond way is shock and awe, PA better brace themselves like a Baghdad anti aircraft gunner as the tigers unleash one almighty onslaught like we ve delivered in the last fortnight with 5 goal to zip starts in first 15 minutes.

Nice !
We have brought the heat early in games in this run to the finals however, I'd say Port need to be more concerned about the last minutes of every quarter.
 It's frustrated the crap out of me for years that our opposition always hurts us in the last minute or two of a quarter but not recently.We've turned the tables. We score heavily in the time on period.

C'mon ! Get it done Tiges !

[Diocletian]

Win the contested ball. Maintain possession. Tag the shyte out of Boak.

Loving the conviction on here 

I think the key with beating Port is to man up (in all ways) and stop their overlap run. Dont allow them the extra man in defense and play Lids and Dusty one out whenever practical in the forward line. They don't have a match up for these guys. Getting the ball into our hands through Maric, Miles, Cotch at co is the first box that needs to be ticked though.

The best thing about Port is that they love to spread and attack which means if we can rebound their offensive forays through Rance, Chappy and Grimes and get it into the hands of a running Houli, Newman or Vlaustin we can score heavily in reply.

We play a very similar attacking brand of football when we go on the offense but I feel we are better defensively than them. This is where we got them last time and where we will get them this time.

Just hope we are switched on and hungry from the first bounce.

One thing I did notice watching the last game we beat them is that the reason Gray was relatively quiet was because Jackson tagged him when he was in the midfield and Morris covered him when he was in the forwardline  Will Jackson be brought in for that reason?

Do we 'tag' Westoff with Chaplin? Have Chapling go forward if he plays the extra man in defense or back to defend him if he goes forward?

Boak got 35+ possessions but we won the game. Should we tag him or is his possessions not damaging?

Haha ! Very good ! 

[cub]

Just play the way we have, they'll need a blinder to beat that!

A stat I heard today is that Port are the number 1 team at scoring from stoppages inside their fwd50 whilst in the past 9 weeks we've been the number 1 team at preventing scores from stoppages in the oppositions fwd50.
