Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 18 - Pies v Port Mon September 21st 7:15pm AEST (Gabba) Match Highlights in OP

[PAFC_1870]

Most of the Tiger missing players from when they played Port were top 10 players... Prestia, Sheds, Cotch, Houli.

This isn't a ******* Richmond thread.

The AFL Board isn't a ******* Richmond board

Go make your excuses somewhere else. No one cares. We SMASHED you.

 

[PowerForGood]

Richmond were in front at 3/4 time in that game in Adelaide were missing 8 premiership players.

Might have been premiership players but not part of your best 22 this year.
You essentially had 6 best 22 players out, we had 5.
And you were in front but you were getting pumped and you know it.
If you want to go 55-24 inside 50s and 20-5 centre clearances again though, good luck.
You'd be favourites of course but not by much.

 

[TigerMoz1973]

Great season so far, but the job is far from over.

Absolutely. The real season starts now. I reckon Port are good enough to make the granny.

 

[PAFC_1870]

Port were missing Motlop Ebert and Rosie. The commentators even said tonight you guys have played 30 players all season. You've had a dream run with injuries. Tigers were missing about 6 walk up starts that night. That's not to say that Port weren't good though. Your boys were fantastic

No. One. Cares.

Move. On.

When your club signed up to join the AFL, they also signed an agreement with Collingwood to relinquish their black & white jumper and their Magpies branding.

What makes you think you can just thumb your nose at a written agreement made 24 years ago?
Man up and stop trying to weasel your way out of an agreement which you made.

Your colours are black, teal and white

But there is no such agreement.
Challenged Eddie to produce it and he can't.
Its all bluster

 

[Bungeye]

Port Adelaide did their best to lose it the last quarter, but still looked comfortable.

 

[THE_GUN]

Of course, everything is about Richmond.
How bout, I want my team to win the minor premiership.

Minor premiership means s**t

 

[My Cotchin Rules]

Congrats on your 4th minor premiership Port. A fair bit of success in the last 23 years well done.
Cats won't be easy but I think you have proven the doubters wrong all year and should get them. Good luck

 

[Carringbush2010]

From here on in, I hope it's Bris, Port or Saints. IF we don't.

We owe them one. Or 10...

Gonna be a fun finals series.

Port, Lions or Dogs for me.

Mate Westoff is such a non player that even Motlop gets a game ahead of him. And that blonde spud in the forward line.
I'll see your f*** off and raise you a GAGF

Mate you are embarrassing yourself at this point. Possibly the most versatile player since Pavlich and a consumate professional, not a star but definitely worthy of respect and his longevity.

Really. There's no such thing as a bad 280 game player. Only 125 in the history of the comp.

But if you want to rank them, your choice.
I won't make any comments about players like Stuart Maxfield.

 

[Back One Out]

I know it's a long time ago but I wonder if that coupled with lack of finals experience is why people are underrating them. I think they're the real deal though, just placed 100 for them to win the premiership at 7.50.

You'll be feeling a bit silly when Geelong defeats Port in 2 weeks time.
It was was only 5 weeks ago, the Cats beat 'em by 10 goals... 14.7 (91) to 4.7 (31)

Since the 2007 Grand Final, Geelong have won 15 of the past 17 meetings vs Port

The Power will be staring down the barrel of a straight sets exit.

If Port lose to Geelong and meet West Coast in a knock out Semi Final in week 2, will that game be in Adelaide or Brisbane?

 

[Mick F]

So is the grand final going to look as drab as this on tv with stuff all crowd and piped in crowd noise ?

Get a f’n life - there are other things to do. Spoil the missus and kids.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Port, Lions or Dogs for me.

Dogs won one not so long ago, be nice to see the saints get one.

Go merge with Melbourne peanut.

Reckon Blics has both Westhoff and Pav for versatility now, haha. Not many have won a B + F in the ruck/midfield and in defence

 

[Carringbush2010]

Does any oppo fan rate us a chance against wc?

Yep

Their underdone too.

Depends who you get back in the side.
Steele will help but what's happening with Howe?

To be quite honest Blicsavs was exactly who I was thinking of when I added 'possibly' I still think Pav is the undisputed GOAT when it comes to versatility though, A grade pretty much all over the field. Between Westy and Blicsavs after him though.

Neither will be back for that game.

 

[Soberian Tiger]

8 now. It'll be 14 next week.

Port had plenty out too.

I rate Butters very highly (and other youngsters at Port such as Rozee and Duursma for that matter as well), but to pretend that the missing players for Port that game were anywhere near as significant as those for Richmond is overstating the case.

Not that it matters. Port won. In Adelaide. Woo hoo. Who cares? Richmond didn't play well enough and Port almost invariably play Richmond in Adelaide, year in and year out. Port hardly ever play Richmond in Melbourne and almost never at the MCG. That's a quirk of the AFL fixturing that Richmond supporters well know and Port supporters never acknowledge for some reason.

Personally, I say good on Port for beating the Pies, but only because I think there's unfinished Richmond business with Brisbane; nothing to do with home ground advantage. Oh, and a deep dislike of Collingwood, of course!

At a neutral venue I'd probably back you but over there is a different beast honestly. Should be a ripper game though.
