Round 11 - Melbourne vs Port @ TP

[Darksidepoints]

And you don't seem to understand basic human vision and logic. Goal umpire and myself thought it was a point which it was. End of discussion.

Go back and read what you have posted. It was touched, nothing to do with hitting the post. It hit the post after the entire ball crossed the line and rebounded into the post. Your whole argument is invalid. Bravo.

Melbourne played great, but the commentating today was awful and completely one sided. Unbearable to listen to.

 

[estibador]

Had a pretty good first half

Yeah he wasn't too bad but he disappeared in the 2nd half. That's what I mean about forgetting he was playing.

 

[RedLegs#5]

Gutting. Well done Port.

 

[gutsroy]

Top game, Port finished out the game well, and the Dees made them earn it.

 

[Iron]

can you not do maths? 5 goals to 2 isn't 10

You what mate

 

[Portmanteau]

Just had enough to get over the line there. Melbourne really had us figured out, and tbh they are the type of team that will challenge us this year. Decision making and hands have been really poor the last couple of weeks. We need to mentally refresh.

 

[Tulip]

Just upset to watch that. Salem goals with 8 on the clock and we have all the run. Then we got too technical. Too much chipping around the back. We could have gotten another and kept on running, but Port remembered that they actually do know how to run out games and decided to give us 4 in a row to make it look like they walked it in.

I know they're a different level, but we did the exact same thing vs the Dogs and I thought we might have changed tact.

Oh well, disappointing.

20 points is a good effort.

Could and should have been better.

 

[Jakko]

Crap effort and still got the 4 points. Meh.

Humble. Nice to see. Hope it doesn't come back to bite you.

Gotta love the Bigfooty mentality, one week everyone is getting on the bandwagon then one down game which we still win and everyone starts sharpening their pitchforks.

EDIT: Full respect to the Dees, great game from them and unlucky not to get a win. Flattest club song I've heard in a long time.

 

[QPower]

The margin should have been bigger considering the dominance

Don't worry, it will be next time.

You what mate

lol sorry mate, thought you were saying Melbourne were going to lose by 10 goals plus, just re-read it, it wasn't you

What I said originally was that the goal review was a waste of time, which it was.

Go for the moral victory dude! lol

I wouldn't worry about the wins-loss columns this year, man. Your team has gone from easy beats to the team that can't be thrashed. That's a significant improvement. Assuming Roos keeps you in that direction, you'll be competing for the 8 again in a year or two.

 

[Demon13304]

Gutted

 

[Essendonia]

Disappointing. Did the hard work and couldn't finish it in the last. Definite upside, though.

 

[BACCS]

Deserve worst than everything we copped in 2011-12 tonight.

When you were losing games by 130 and 160 points in consecutive weeks? Bit harsh

 

[Darksidepoints]

So close, yet another loss.

Well done Port.

 

[Xtreme]

Don't worry, it will be next time.

LOL - next time we (unless the injury gods really hate us) will have a more complete side that will stand up to resist your game plan

Sydney had a very ordinary MCG record in 2012 and look how that handed out. If Port can make sure they get top 2 the MCG becomes less important.

we shall see

 

[dinger]

Haha, Port have been on the right side of some biased commentary recently, commentators tend to favour the underdog a fair bit in this regard. Top effort by your lot today, promising future ahead!

 

[gutsroy]

What I said originally was that the goal review was a waste of time, which it was.

Don't want to get involved in someone else's argument, but the review was justified and it looked very much like the ball bounced over the line (although the footage wasn't conclusive, might have caught the line, too) before it then changed direction off the bounce and hit the post.

So to review to check whether it was 100% over the line when it bounced was not a waste of time at all.

Good to see Melbourne not being a train wreck, onwards and upwards.
