Good to see the SMA trying to cut some costs and boost our stadium return, keeping the lights off as it descended into darkness today. Thanks SMA.

That was absurd, we were playing in semi-darkness.

They probably only turned the lights on in the end because they were having a kick to kick after the game and were worried about a lawsuit.
 
Cmon Hamish, Pepper coming off a knee reconstruction and limited pre season. You can’t seriously tell me you’d pick Richards ahead of Pepper in this Port team.
Yeah and Richards has played 21 games of football in arguably the hardest position on the field. I can’t think of many other high half forward who have played as consistently as Joe has at that stage. I think they are both important.

100%.

Personally was finding it just challenging optically to focus and see everything.

Reminded me of a game we played at Unley back in the day. Was so dark in the end at that game that the time clock with the time on period in red was glowing in the dark.
 
Funny how on the 7 coverage any contest may “won” it was a wankfest. Outbodied Willie Rioli probably 15cm and 30kg lighter. THIS MAY BLOKE ABSOLUTE STAR BEST THING SINCE DUSTY FLETCHER. Ball gets chucked on Georgies head and May chucks a knee into him to mark. STEVEN MAY SHOULD BE AA RANCE HAS GOT NOTHING ON HIM. Totally ignoring the contest where he tackled Georgiades after losing a one handed marking contest

Liddy was good. His disposal was instinctive and sure besides a couple. Didnt see him much in the third quarter thought he got subbed

Dante has the knack of bumping blokes post disposal and that alone justfies his place in the team. Sweet on the otherhand played second ruck against Van Rooyen and still looked like McEntee at AFL level

No ones talking about Sinn. I thought he was pretty clean and brave. Watch Mani Liddys guernsey presentation back and see how much Sinn is mucking around and getting around the lads. He clearly loves the club

JHF has a shoulder niggle and Ken keeps him on the bench
Aliir hobbles as much as Sam Skinner and he leaves him out there
 
First crack on fox footy saying our win today was 'for ken'

Get the fck out

The media are going to be having conniptions when Port go on some won streaks under Carr.

Yeah. wtf was that about? The sun was drifting behind the heritage listed moreton bay trees behind the hill in the 3rd qtr and you needed to turn on your smartphone light to see the person next to you.

Pretty close to bringing out the sherrin with the bell in it I reckon.
 
What kills me looking over the replay, is how little the Fox commentators know the rules.

Melksham in the last gets done for an unrealistic attempt, they start justifying it. Everyone knows if you dont clearly touch the ball, it is paid. It was a clear free, but all the commentators do is breed confusion with their ignorance.

Again, earlier in the game, May behind Georgiades, wraps arms around him and throws Georgiades to the side. A clear holding the man free, something you are clearly not able to do, but the commentators again are a bit 50/50 on it and basically talk like they dont want to say anything but Melbourne should be pissed the free was paid. IT was a clear free FFS.

The commentators ignorance drives me crazy.

The irony.

Having your sense of hearing destroyed by the blithering full volume halfwit nonsense dished up by what our game day organisers thinks is ‘entertainment’.

And then to have your sense of vision challenged for the one home game of the year when what we are doing on field as a team is actually worth watching.

Just be thankful they didn’t do the Malteser slingshot into the crowd thing at 3 qtr time today. Might have blinded half the ‘true believers’ in the eastern stand.
 
I’d say he’s been better than SPP

I really hope SPP is hurt. Where’s the “bull assassin” I fell in love with at first site years ago?

Would this just be age? He’s not old, but footy is consuming.

It’s a mix of ignorance and desire. They play favorites all the time.
 
Convert the perfect pair segment into the perfect **** off
Yeah, a Perfect Pair game day activation with Hinkley and a giant $3M novelty cheque for a contract extension which ends up rejecting him would be * chef's kiss *

I hate the way they try and exaggerate htb when it's not there. "Could be gone here"
 
Accept I’m an outlier here but apart from the usual Armageddon oversell from Dwayno on just about anything I didn’t much mind the fox call today.

Would love to know how much Ricciuto’s getting paid though. Pipes up with a bleeding obvious one liner that we can all see/hear for ourselves (‘it’s getting a bit willing down here boys’) a few times in a quarter in a voice that could strip paint.
 
Put together a 4 quarter effort finally.

Still wasn’t perfect by any stretch but was probably our best game over 4 quarters for the season.

Georgiades you beauty, been threatening to do this all season. Still missed 3 sitters so could’ve had 10 but 7.4 was awesome. Hopefully this is the start of him going to another level.

Rozee has to be in the AA team, I find it nuts he wasn’t in most mid season AA teams, he is the best half back in the game right now.

JHF what a first game back. Was pure class, narrowly missed 3 goals in the opening term. Was moving well. Had 29 despite missing most of the last quarter.

Zak Butters is the best player in the comp. Gets so much attention every week but still dominates.

Esava you beast, hopefully he takes so much confidence from that game. If it wasn’t for georgiades dominating and kicking 7 he would’ve been the best player on the ground.

I don’t want to lose Bergman.

Oh it’s you again. Richards is a very average footballer who has done very little all season. The bar is low at the club though as he only needs to eclipse Mead’s output to keep his place, yet he didn’t even muster that milestone today.
Richards is why we've only seen McEntee once this season. For that reason alone, he deserves his place in the side
 
It was weird, Jackson was starting to gain momentum, yep we basically stop him to sub.

Why wouldn’t you let liddy build a body of work in the sanfl and let Jackson continue to get game time

It’s just another stupid coaching decision from a stupid coach
Can't win can he. All the discourse was about how he should debut and definitely not be sub.

Now is a stupid decision..

Aliir hobbles as much as Sam Skinner and he leaves him out there
Game was still alive when Aliir was injured vs JHF - pretty obvious decision.

And for the millionth time, Ken only puts him on when he's cleared by the medics, stop trying to blame everything on him.
