Which Bullants will turn up?
They've won 6 of their 10 games by two goals or less and it's hard to really know how they've scraped into the finals. Dropped games against Bendigo and Box Hill, but two games (and wins) against each of Tasmania, Collingwood and Geelong probably helped them along. They haven't seemed to convincingly beat anybody, although they've had North Ballarat's measure twice this year. Good luck to them, will give them a fair idea where they're at heading into the finals. They may get a couple of Carlton guys back in Week 1 which may help them.
I MIGHT be there!
Mainly for someone to film me doing a pretend call of the game.... for a TV Dating Show... will explain later!
Pete.
Hahah.. Tell us more! I'll split it off into its own thread when you do.
Would be good to see both Pearce and Kurt McGlynn get a game against the 'ants this week.
Ive got a feeling Ayres wants someone really strong over the ball when it gets to finals time and Kurt McGlynn could be the man. Especially at Port on a tight ground hes a good player to have.
He would be a good addition I agree. However I think Port already have plenty of strength over the ball hence our record on the shorter TEAC Oval. Our contested football has been the best it has been for years. As for clearances, I can't remember a year where we have constantly won the ball from stoppages. The newer/stronger midfield has been very productive. Hopefully for us, it continues...
Has something happened to Luke Cotchett? I haven't heard much about him this year? I thought he was captain and hasn't been named this week?
Has been out with a groin,for about three weeks.Had a game in the mcgoos last week v preston
Cotchett only played a half. Not sure how well he pulled up from that run.
Saw Cotchett at training on Monday night and he looked sore. I don't think he pulled up well.
Should find out more tomorrow.
Hopefully he will be right by next week.
It was originally round 20 return, so maybe came back too early. He's an electric forward who works well in tandem with Rob Nahas. Hopefully they don't really need his services until the preliminary final. I'd love to see Cotch and the Borough win the flag if they can pull it off against the odds.
