Hopefully by now you have all awoke from the expected train wreck that was the Sydney game. The problem being of course that we're still on the tracks and an Alan Scott truck is coming right for us.
Port played some very good football last week but their problem all season has been away games. From the named side above Wanganeen want be taking his place due to the flu so expect either Cochrane or Ebert to come in. I'd definitely go with Ebert, this kid seems to hurt us every game we play them.
Anyways, some positive news. After some players have checked out of Geelong Hospital in order to play this game. All three late withdrawals (Ling, King & Rooke) are back along with H & DJ. King despite poor form of late & definitely not being 100% just has to play this game as Chambers + Blake Vs. Primus + Lade = Ugly, Very Ugly.
The other obvious threats are of course Tredrae & Cornes Bros. (Coming soon to nintendo) as they are top quality players of AA standard.
There are so many factors going into this game that it gets my definition of a 50/50 and being the mentally scarred Geelong supporter I am, I'm picking the Power by 21 points and for me to be very cold.
