Thoughts On The Port Game

[WaynesWorld19]

Iam the last one to criticize umpires as those long standing posters will vouch for ......but todays game is the most biased umpired game I have witnessed for some years.

Frees that in any other AFL game this weekend would have been paid ....have not in this game

 

[Sekaj]

Porplyzia has been disappointingly quiet. Is he being tagged?

Mackay has looked good when he's gotten the footy so far.

 

[KingsCrow]

Thoughts- Brogan is a thug, should be banned for the season. He has proved he is a thug onfield and off field.

Thomas should be banned for the season, his tackling has ruined the career of one player already and nearly broke the neck of another.

Another thought.

Our team fire UP!

 

[Drummond]

Absolutely disgraceful umpiring, highlighted by 2 dropping the balls by Port Adelaide on the members wing, yet neither were paid.

Vince has really impressed me, that's the best half of footy I've seen him play. His kicking was at times a little loose but on the whole he was very good and he will break his career high possession count.

Goodwin has been a little quiet but still has 2 goals to half time so that's a fair effort.

We MUST bring in Maric next week. Tippett needs to stay up forward instead of having to ruck every 15 minutes.

Griffin has been impressive, and Doughty has won me over. Mackay, other than that one kick which resulted in a turnover, has been superb. Great skills by hand and foot. Big future for this guy.

Port Adelaide, in partiucular Matt Thomas and Dean Brogan, are scum.

Great game of footy ....these stoushes are what keeps fans coming thru the door

Symes .....is he playing?

Douglas quiet ......getting caught alot.

Griffin playing his best game for the year .......Tippett seems to be getting swamped in packs as we just kick high and long in hope.

Johncock ...great game .......Bock and Rutten the rocks of our defence.

Pity about Bassett .....but we know he'll bounce back

Jericho on the other hand that bump will just about do him .......I don't think he'll bounce back from that one.

No reports at half-time. You have to be joking . Didn't know you were allowed to run through players with having no intent to go for the footy.

Well, you can if the ball is within 5 metres. That's, you know, the rules...

I play the game mate. I don't need to learn the rules.

So... what's the problem? Whether or not you find it ethical to do what Brogan did is irrelevant, it is/was legal (dependent on head high contact).

he'll get his comeuppance. karma will see to him. he'll be in the wrong place at the wrong time and with any luck he'll get killed.

I find it strange that anyone with this attitude could consider someone else a thug.

 

[Drummond]

Porpy done his shoulder, Thomas again.

Massie injured too, none on the bench. Possibly Jericho but we will struggle late in this game with our lack of bench.

 

[plowking]

Honestly, there is no way that we are getting the good end of the umpires. How about that 50m against Kane Cornes. That was ridiculous. Just accept the game as it is, as the umpires don't have an agenda to help one team, especially since there is no Victorian teams playing in this particular game.

 

[Boof33]

Port playing the man by injuring, Crows playing the game.

What a nice, classy comment, don't stoop to that level. It's only a game of footy.

Radio reporting that he's had it strapped and is now back on the bench. Believe it or not, they reckon he's right to play!

 

[mortizy]

this is great news(porpy shoulder) this was his year, good to see him all strapped up and ready to play again (plus he is in my DT)

Which I mentioned in this post: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=10570250&postcount=54 , I thought would probably be the case.

I'm sure it won't prevent a whole lot of frothing at the mouth and lack of focus on your own team's performance following the game, which as it happens you will now likely win.

Im not watching the game, but i got gameday live, Johncock hasnt touched it for a whole quarter? Is he injured???????????
