Pretty gutless from Neal Bullen to pass off. Great kick by Lewis though. Almost makes up for the suspension.
Disagree jack, IMO a very smart pass off when they would have known there was very little time left, milk the clock, it was up to Carton to man up.

I would be disappointed if we didn't do that in a similar situation with 30 seconds to go in the 2020 grand final.

I just find Melbourne a very unlikeable club now.

Doesn't help with flogs such as Lewis and Oliver in their team.
If they were playing with our team I would say we wouldn't class them as flogs. IMO most of these "unlikable" players from other clubs would be fantastic blokes off the field.

I reckon it is getting to the stage where, if you signal you are having a shot and take the 30 seconds, you are obliged to make a genuine attempt to kick the goal. That is the second time this round a player has used this rule in an unsportsman like manner to waste time. Don't want to see a flag decided this way.

Disagree, unless it is an unrealistic attempt in the umpires view ie. from 70 meters on the boundary line, in which case the umpires should call play on as per normal time constrictions in general play. The opposition need to be smart enough and know the rules, man the free men up.

Wrst Coast have been out scored in the fourth quarter of their last five home games. Hope that changes this time round.

Bloody hell, l like Eagles but they are flat trackers definitly. Without NicNat and Kennedy they are terrible. Mitchell will be gone next year as well.

Poxy, insipid West Coast.

We really needed Port to lose this one. Was a real 8 point game in terms of our pick.

Dwayno's shameless and unprofessional barracking for Port just added to the shit sandwich.

Ah well, we'll get another Berry with the pick anyway.

Port have killed West Coast with their run. The Eagles have looked so slow in this last quarter chasing the Port players who are just streaming forward in waves. Credit to Port they've played well and have looked way hungrier for the win. The Eagles on the other hand... woeful.

WC are cooked, too old too slow. No youth coming through. Too reliant on Kennedy who's nearing the end anyway.

Port still haven't beaten a contender. Few tough games for them ahead

Sums up this Melbourne team. So many flogs in one team. Don't mind Nathan Jones though.
That flog in the crowd mouthed off at him first and said something that made Oliver turn back....Oliver didn't stay long enough to say too much, I just pictured him telling the flog to g** f****d and he went on with game.

Wasn't too much in it imo........the bloke looked like a loud mouthed smart a.r.s.e who wasn't expecting a response.

...he's getting his 15mins of fame tho.

People in the crowd do that kind of stuff all the time and 99% of players just ignore it and jog on.
