If they win they will get pick 6 instead of 4, so I would be wanting a loss if I was a Port fan, lol. <br /><br />Rather ridiculously I am actually hoping that we loose (especially if it's because we pick a bunch of kids) because it will probably be the difference of 3 places (10th-13th) on the ladder, getting pick 12 rather than 17 and three picks earlier in all the other rounds. It's not like we haven't done it before.<br /><br />In other news; we should make sure that we award the Best and Fairest to Scully in order to get the highest compensation pick as possible as "on field performance (greater weighting for strong club best and fairest performance)" is a criteria in figuring out the compensation. I am also glad that the technicality of drafting him at number one (instead of 2) will accidentally(?) help as well.wieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934981659542051817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408965100294016330.post-79842030980269252222011-08-29T13:27:17.530+10:002011-08-29T13:27:17.530+10:00Not very inspirational.

We beat the new kids on the block in a dead rubber. It was obvious which side had something to play for. And it wasn't us. GCS were playing to a pattern all day. Trying things. Making position as trained. Running to prescribed spaces. Kicking toward places they expected players to be. Hand balling in directions they expected a player to be running past. They didn't stop trying and it almost worked. Did we have purpose? Did we have endeavour? No! We were just aimless. We were just filling in time. We were in the park playing kick to kick. We knew the talent we had and it had belief enough to blow them away. Some were taking it seriously but not many. Were we going to get beaten? Never! Were we entertaining? Never! It was soulless, passionless. Congrats to Gold Coast for showing professionalism in the face of adversity. Congrats to Gold Coast for getting as far they have in their first season. Congrats to Gold Coast for having an obvious future. It's very sad that the same cannot be said of Melbourne. <br /><br />A coach and Port Adelaide: the back room is playing it cards very close to its chest and there are no obvious candidates queuing up. Port Adelaide has found a last ditch spark a la Richmond. The ultimate game for the 2011 home and away season and who cares? Could it be the ultimate kick in the guts for Demon supporters? There is no end of season optimism.Lyall St Kildanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408965100294016330.post-48851714558350517712011-08-29T10:56:23.843+10:002011-08-29T10:56:23.843+10:00What a Knightmare
