We never win against Port in Adelaide so I'm expecting a pretty dismal affair. Unfortunately I'm not going to the game, going to the rugby on Sunday though.
edit: GC over Carlton instead. Why not? It's easy to underestimate a new side.

Oh my god, Richmond! It may not be a win, but when everybody thought they'd get flogged - well that's just nicely done, really!
Still reckon it's pretty unfair that if a shot goes through but brushes the post, it's not a goal (unlike in rugby, when as long as it falls on the right side, it doesn't matter how many times it hits the upright and crossbars). If AFL had rugby rules in that regard, Richmond would've had a very handy goal right near the end of the third quarter ...
Madness, I tell you. Really not sure what to think about St. Kilda, seems like there's a likelihood that they'll fall to the bottom half of the 8 by the end of the season. Possibly even lower.
I am surprisingly excited to see that game, too bad I have to wait an hour to see the delayed telecast. Is the crowd any bigger than 14,000 this time, Bon?
This is big. This could give our players so much confidence. We can beat a boogie team interstate, without our best player. Skills may not be consistent, but underestimate the Eagles at your own peril.
Well done Eagles! And Bonnie, they only won because you didn't go.
And christ, what a shit-kicking Collingwood gave North Melbourne. Be interesting next week when the Pies play Carlton, so we can see if they really are THAT good, or if it's just because they've been playing weak opposition for the first two weeks.
