You played a home final with 95% Port supporters and still lost. Not much more you can ask for.
And you were gifted 10 games at your home and finished bottom
What exactly was inconsistent about it? I thought the holding the ball interpretations were among the best all year and the deliberate OOB calls were about as consistent as it gets. This board is genuinely ridiculous these days…I think consistent umpiring may have been enough to beat the tigers tonight
Guess what we ended up with pick 1 and you end up with a participant award and a team that's about to fall off the cliff after next year, good luck and enjoy the fall with the amount of players that are on the wrong side of 30.
Against fellow mcg clubs and a marvel club at marvel. We did not have 1 home advantage game all year, not 1. Look I know due to the fact you believe we only win flags cause we are based at the g you thought you were just going to walk into the grand final so you are upset, but maybe a little respect for one of the great teams of the modern era?Nothing like what Richmond had? You played the first 5 games of the year in your home state - 4 at home, one down the road at Marvel. Again, I realise that seems small when you are usually gifted 15 of them at home plus all your finals.
Are you going to use pick 1 to draft the next Chayce Jones? Setting yourself up for a dynasty I'm sure.PLAYERCARDSTART1Chayce Jones

H&A is over, you qualified to get a home final, that's all that matters, you blew it.Nothing like what Richmond had? You played the first 5 games of the year in your home state - 4 at home, one down the road at Marvel. Again, I realise that seems small when you are usually gifted 15 of them at home plus all your finals.
This loss will sting port fans. They’ll never get a better look at a flag given the advantages they’ve been afforded by COVID. There is potential for a drop off that is akin to what we saw with the Crows. Especially if their elder players rapidly decline.
What exactly was inconsistent about if? I thought the holding the ball interpretations were among the best all year and the deliberate OOB calls were about as consistent as it gets. This board is genuinely ridiculous these days…
There was one Rioli got away with. The throw between the legs. How the ump thought that was in any way legal is boggling.I suppose if I was a tigers supporter I would have said the same thing. The tigers were allowed to drop the ball a number of times in a tackle while port players were punished immediately. Apart from that, the umpiring was ok.
I would also like to point out that port were harshly dealt with by the umpires in the qualifying final against the cats too, but they still managed to win despite this. Perhaps the crowd has the opposite affect on the umpires for some strange reason.

Fair enough.This entire conversation started because I was replying to a Richmond supporter complaining that they would probably play Brisbane in the Grand final because Brisbane had been gifted unfair advantages this year. Which they have, but the big Victorian clubs especially get those sorts of advantages every year. If you're going to start arguing they only made the Grand final because of them then you have to argue the same for every Vic premier since the AFL became a "national" competition. That's it. That's my point.
Port lost the game because they were sh*t. We bottled it and didn't take the opportunities presented to us. We should've won and the sub par performance of every one of our veterans was deplorable, except for Ebert who I thought was fantastic in stepping into defense and courageous as all hell with his final ever play . There's no excuses for our loss. Again that's not where I started this discussion though. I'm not whinging about our performance.

mostly thought the game was pretty well umpired and they bought into the finals atmosphere and didn’t over officiate.
Fair enough.
But last year and this year have really put egg on a few faces, Richmond beat Brisbane up there last year and Port last night, so they have proved themselves in my book.
alt account fail lol
I know a lot mud is thrown around on these forums, but this is just lol.
Your ability to turn making a grand final appear to be a negative, while in the same paragraph claim victory for having pick 1 (because you were the worst team out of 18) is truely amazing.
Even Trump would cringe at that mental gymnastics.
I'm pretty sure he was talking about port not us
Second half clearances 27-9.
Centre clearance 7-0.
That's elite mids stepping up and winning you a Prelim.
Full credit Richmond.
Ugly game but at least it was close and therefore, entertaining. Umpiring wasn’t great and ended up favouring the visitors. Awful deliberate call in the last 10 minutes; only the umpires, one-eyed fans and BT thought that was the correct decision
That and the fact he played a terrible game
