We play to a higher standard when we play the tigers....when was the last time we won though?
Port are a little different, being in Melbourne is a start....being at the MCG is a bonus.
But....this is a team that just beat the Tigers....and flogged North and the bombers. Only loss was against the Eagles over there....which is no shame.
Port are tougher than people think. They did finish on top of the ladder last year.
Basically saying not to use our effort against the GC as a guide to our ability but, yes, the winning part would be quite useful. We were ahead of them last year when the siren went, just a pity about the part a few seconds after the siren. Not long after we had beaten Geelong at Geelong. So we can rise and beat such sides. Just hope we can do it again. 3-2 and a win over the probable flag favourites would be big.
