Finals Discussion Thread

Port are so determined, great to watch. Really hope they get up, they're every chance at the moment. Silly move by Geelong playing Hawkins I think, you can't take injured players into finals.

Port keep opening the Cats up, the amount of times they have had loose blokes inside 50 is unbelievable for a final.

Silly, ****in stupid would be better way to put it, he can't move and is complete liability, that plus decision to not even take a half decent ruck man in could cost them big time, once again losing the critical finals benchmarks of on contested ball, clearances and ruckman

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Great half by Port. Love the way they play.

Stevie J looks set for another post-game whinge if they do lose.

I would not want to be near chris Scott right now!

Geelong just couldn't match Port's intensity that quarter

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Port are just outrunning them. Too many old guys in the cats team- last weeks game has really stuffed them.

 

[ThirdLegUp]

Port need to persist, the cats are old campaigners, they will fight back if there is even a momentary lapse in the punches. Don't let them get their breath and absolutely don't lose focus and over push, letting them fling you around and suddenly find yourself against the ropes.

Bloody good game.

Not a big margin in modern day football

 

[StringyDog]

Port have lost all composure now stupid decisions everywhere

 

[Interloper]

All set up for Wingard and Monfries to play match winning qtrs in the 4th

 

[ThirdLegUp]

gonna be a big finish! WOOOT

 

[StringyDog]

Terrible free kick, gift to Geelong there

 

[Snarls Barkley]

I have no idea what he thought he saw there

 

[Interloper]

Damn it all. Congrats to Port anyway on a great year.

 

[Fossie 32]

Bruce can feel it

CMON PORT

If the umpire was any sort of showman he wouldn't have called that throw

 

[timtamWB]

Look I'm usually not one for calling out umpires.

But there is no way anyone can tell me the umpires didnt help Geelong. Bartel was on the bottom of the pack holding the ball, and he wins the free kick?

Congratulations to Port for a tremendous year and for winning back a lot of respect. Lets hope next year they can go one step further.

There was one where Duncan ducked straight into Westhoff that was paid as free kick to Duncan inside Port's forward 50 too. Port were a bit unlucky.

You have got to be stoked to be a Port fan right now, How proud would you be

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Yeah probably didn't affect the result too much but Geelong (as always) got a good run with the umps.

Great season from Port. Played a great first half but couldn't keep up with the class of Geelong in the second. Great to see them fight back as well and not get blown out.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Great work Port, bad luck.
Now Brian Lake won't win a flag cos Hawthorn will lose!

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

Screw Tom Hawkins and his smiling face. Did jackshit.

 

[TMoney22]

So much love for Port right now. I hope we can do the same in the next few years.

They have good young players in every position.
