Touché

I need to stop listening to Radiohead pre-game, it's killing me, no surprises there!

Speaking of Pre Game tunes, its an absolute disgrace that our side ran out onto the ground and through the banner before the lily of laguna started playing on saturday.

We were a rabble off field all day on saturday which might explain more about what we saw on field than anything else.

Yep agree. Was at the game and our pre game clips were poorly done, boring and might as well been non existent. And while I'm at it, the pre match player number calling is boring and a waste of time as well IMO.

Surely its not that hard to come up with something a bit more uplifting! The one we used a few years ago when Judd was around was pretty good - cant recall the song but it used to get me going.

Jimmy Barnes 'No second prize' with some of our best moments over the last few years is the sort of clip that will get the home fans up and about, but what would I know.....club might prefer to the simple approach of just naming the players out instead  :-[

Any song you pick that isn't traditional divides the supporter base.

Port are dead-set lucky because being based in SA the locals think INXS are still top of the pops! Plus they are replacing a mostly rubbish club song, so almost anything is better. But even so, it still comes across as heavily contrived.

You either have to keep up to date on this stuff, which costs a pretty penny to do because the latest and greatest want royalties, or you go the traditional route and forget the whiz bang.

For an example of what not to do, which moron thought Nthmond should update their song? Probably alongside Da-Da-Da-Da-Da one of the most widely recognised club songs in the Aussie Sports landscape! So good it's annoys everybody else just like our own song, when they tried to fiddle with it around the edges they made it the butt of jokes!

Even the pies were ordinary!

Hopefully the Pies will also be ordinary this Friday.

Yep, we want them cold (as long as the beer isn't warm).

Carlton always use to deliver cold Pies at Princes Park!

So it looks like Kennedy and Kreuzer are both back, I'd be confident about Kennedy as the back room rumor mongers said he was closer last week than SpecialK.

It may well be a Psoas injury for SpecialK as it looked to me, in that case his return is typical because he'll be pain free by now but his power and agility might be diminished for an extended period. But do not be surprised if SpecialK is again a late out with Phillips in.

BB Presser much better this week, sounds back to his best, no bullcrap sensible responses to even some stupid questions.

Like his positivity, like the support he is showing for Jones and Weitering.

Fills me with hope, and should shut up even the most ardent critics.
