Round 8 Port Adelaide vs Richmond - Adelaide Oval

[Richo83]

First thing David King spoke about on camera 'Dunno about the jumpers...they don't even look like Richmond!'

No mention of the absolute debacle Port Adelaide managed to avoid at the 11th hour of last year's Elimination Final, due to Richmond's woefully inadequate previous clash guernsey. Or West Coast having to wear its clash guernsey at home last year against Richmond for the same reason.

Bravo, Richmond. About ****ing time, but better late than never for them to figure out that primarily black, with a bit of yellow isn't an adequate alternate strip for a team that normally wears primarily black, with a bit of yellow. The fact that it actually looks good is a nice bonus.

Fair call, to be honest, I don't like majorly yellow strips as they're generally harsh on the eyes, but it had to be done. As for King, it's such a stupid thing to say. If Richmond make a clash strip that's mostly dark and tries to look like Richmond, then it wont be a clash strip. So it looks different to the strip Richmond generally wears? That's the whole point of a clash strip ya idiot.

Richmond wearing the WA state jumper. WA pumped SA yesterday. Is there an omen?

Are the state teams back wearing that version this year, out of interest? Seem to remember reading something about WA going back to the sash. Didn't mind the black swan, personally.

I remember Wayne Campbell bumping an injured Barry Young as he jogged off the ground injured with a trainer. Grimes will be fine.

Gee Barry would have had to have been severely injured not to knock Wayne's head off if that occurred. Quite the firebrand Baz.

What the hell has happened to Port?

Why the hell is Rance allowed to be all over a player? Do the rules not apply to him?

He is too handsome for the rules of mere mortals to be applied to him

If it was up to me, a basic rule of a clash guernsey being rubber stamped would be that you could play an intraclub wearing the regular versus the clash and it wouldn't be chaos.

Ray having a laugh not paying that as deliberate. Seen much less intentional paid.

Still dirty about Cloke last week? Lol

 

[rdhopkins2]

Good start from the Tigers but I think Port will hit back pretty hard in the second quarter.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Loving the clash strip.

What the hell has happened to Port?

I can't say I'll be sad if they keep up like this all year, it's been bad enough in Melbourne the port love in I can't imagine how insufferable it has been in Adelaide.

 

[Balance]

What the hell has happened to Port?

They're putting too many numbers in defense, when they go forward there's no one there so Tigers rebound too quickly.

 

[telsor]

What the hell has happened to Port?

It's a return to normal, last year's final is the only time they've beaten us in quite a while.

Last year they improved a lot, off season all other teams sat down, looked at what they did and worked out how to counter it...

 

[King Elvis]

They're putting too many numbers in defense, when they go forward there's no one there so Tigers rebound too quickly.

Deliberate change of game plan though, or just not executing the right style anymore?

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Good start from the Tigers but I think Port will hit back pretty hard in the second quarter.

The margin is 19 points. You'd think Richmond had just piled on 12 goals to nothing.

I think they will as well, too many peeps being overdramatic here tonight..

Richmond trying to ruin my tipping

It's the Hawthorn curse, Our prelim opponents invariably go on a massive slide the next season. Collingwood, Adelaide, Geelong, and now the Power.

 

[Rich01]

Port fans booing Vickerys injury?

 

[yakka man]

I don't like those twisting knee incidents.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Stay classy Port Adelaide fans.
