Pre Game -Port v Blues R2 (Sat, March 30, 5.10pm)

[Thryleon]

One small little bloke ain't going to change that equation MBB....

Bad bad turnovers cost up repeatedly...fix that we'll beat anyone on our day.

Yes and No.


Insert Paul Puopolo, Hawthorn go to 4 grand finals in a row winning 3 of them (they lost one to Sydney). 

Im also reminded of the 2008 grand final.



Cyril wasn't a spectacular player in that one, but I remember he did something in that game that turned the momentum in a large way with some repeat efforts on the wing.

His stats that day:

6 kicks, 4 handballs, 2 goals, 3 tackles, 2 clangers.

Look at how his teamates talk about a run down.  The look on their faces as they watch the video.  The way Hodge talks about bringing the crowd into it.

Mitch Robinson used to do a bit of this for us.  He was a tool.  Polson isnt.  He just rushes his disposal.



Remember round 23 against Adelaide?

No one cared.  This bloke tried his guts out.  A team like ours has been bottom for a long time, because efforts like this are completely disregarded unless its a gun doing it.
