Yep : out Lycett, Sutcliffe, Ebert, in Duursma, Ladhams, Mayes. Our chances of winning just got that little bit better.

Not too familiar with Port list Paul. Who do you think will play ruck?

Peter Ladhams is one of their listed ruckmen, so I'm safely assuming he will be the main man - not sure who will provide relief. Maybe Westhoff ?

I know nothing about Ladhams, but he's not Lycett, which is a plus. Listed as the same height as Pittonet, but several kgs lighter. Played 5 games last season.

Anyone know if it's true port are flying into gold coast at 4:30am Sunday?

That's a fair advantage for us if true

Not saying we should underestimate Port but have a look who they've  beaten.

GC
WC when they were rubbish
Freo who are rubbish
Adelaide rubbish
GWS who are waaaay out of form

And got spanked by Brisbane.

You can only beat the teams in front of you and they've mostly done that but the form line isn't overly convincing.

Win this a we are a real true bonifide finals side. Lose and we've probably not lost a great deal, just where we sat before last week.

I'd rate us a 50/50 chance for this game. Bookmakers have us massive underdogs.

They are flying in on the day from Adelaide and it is a 1:05 game so they would need to be there by 10 or so and they are 30mins behind anyway, so they might need to be up by 4:30. Most realistic.

Bookies are normally pretty spot on, didnt look at what they had us last week, do you know/recall?

I don't remember the numbers, but the Dogs were heavy favourites.

If we turn up mentally then we are a big chance imo.
Reality always wins in the end.

i reckon we were mid-late $2 odds, say $2.8 to win.

Pre game was all about how if the dogs win they'll be in 2nd. No air time given to us if we were to win, certainly no mention of us making the 8.

We surprised a lot of people last week. Would love to do it again.

Sunny and 24 tomorrow for Brisvegas. It will suit a tall high marking forward line against an undersized back line, it will suit the team that has acclimatized to the warmer conditions (we’ve been there 2 weeks, they are communiting  from cold, crappy Adelaide) plus we follow a normal match day routine whereas they are up at sparrows, and finallly ‘We are Carlton.....$&@# the rest!’ (S. Kernahan circa years ago!) The  arrogance is slowly resurfacing!!!

Yep - dogs were heavy favourites - though I don't normally bet on footy. Made an exception last night though for the dogs against bombers who were evens despite having beaten them 5 times in a row, including by over 100 late last year and Shiel and Heppel being out.

Blues still only 50/50 tomorrow I think but that is way different to the bookies.
