Rik E Boy wrote:Port v Melbourne an interesting game. For me it's an absolute must win game for Melbourne. Yes, the match is away from home but Port have more than their fair share of injuries and if the Demons are fair dinkum they should win the game. The way they have been playing this season is also well set up to counter Port's strength. While Port have improved and it's no longer Dixon or nothing, Dixon remains massively important and the defenders are still on song even though the Demons have dropped three of their last five.
A lot will depend on Melbourne using their brains for a change. They are too short up front and Viney is holding them back massively. He's added nothing since being brought back into the side and they are starting to struggling to win in the centre. Demons midfield was trash and if they get beaten in there again they won't kick a score and Port are a free scoring team, especially if they can get an early lead at home.
Sorry Porties but I'm picking you and my tipping is trash.

Port have the chance to take a scalp and work towards a top 4 spot with St Kilda, Collingwood, GWS, Adelaide and Carlton before finishing with the Bulldogs giving us a real shot at a top 4 finish. If we can knock of Melbourne, go to 12-4 with Butters, Duursma and Clurey back in the next week or two then Fantasia and Jones not far behind we can look at a top 4 finish.
Whichever side wins on Thursday looks forward with confidence, whichever side loses could miss the top 4. Huge game.

Down on troops against Bulldogs and Geelong, lost by 19 and 21, so hard to fully judge but the evidence suggests we're a bit off the top couple of sides.
Melbourne on the other hand are dead set pretenders who had everyone fooled a month ago.
Battle of the sides who will take 4th spot I reckon.

What will that make Port when they lose Thursday night?

Down on troops.
You've all got Port worked out as not good enough to beat the top sides, you haven't worked out Melbourne are the same just yet.

True but reality is you win Thursday night, results of some other games go your way, come Monday night your on top of the ladder

Missing 4 or 5, not playing our best, I'm glad we've been written off.
