This. We've had a golden run so far this year. We could easily have a few big injuries next year and some of these players could step up to the seniors. If players decide they want to go to #lolnorf or Freo for a senior game then fair enough we help facilitate it. But we pick the key depth players and try to keep them if possible. They could easily be the playing finals in the Tiges seniors next year.
People on this forum don't read properly sometimes.
I'm trying to put the mozz on Adelaide... it's a joke buddy.
Obviously a bit too subtle of a joke for people on here though!
After 30 years of it, no thanks haha

Quality ones don't. Chol has great athletic traits but no footy ability
I'm sure the Adelaide football club players read this forum, wasting your time.
You'd think it was Lennons parting gift to us
A spiteful way of costing us the game and saying Fuq you tigers

Respect to Port Melbourne as a standalone to do it.
Yeah they have a few ex afl boys on their list but they still have to go to work everyday like us and have to train under lights like any other local player.
The way local footy is any of these guys could pick up far superior coin with lesser commitment yet they still do it the hard way.
I was hoping Lennon would turn it on today but doesn't look likely at all.
Bolton was fantastic early but did fade in the second half.
Lloyd was brilliant.
Agree about the statement re: defensive running. Too many times Port exposed this and it was lucky a few times our backline pressed and pressured them into mistakes. If it wasn't for that we would've lost by a lot more.

I have just watched it 3 times and slow motioned it but cant pick out the player that was 35 out its either Stengle or Lloyd
Its 17mtrs not 12 and the most pathetic part is as soon as he marked it he turned his back on the play to walk back , There could have been a player 20mtrs out in front - But Mr Lennon doesnt care its all about him
This is the attitude that has him playing VFL and not Afl and behind players like Townsend
Cant make an excuse for this bloke totally selfish and lazy
The Adelaide fans aren't playing the game besides they're already over confidentThe Adelaide fans will be!
We want them all over-confident!

Was selfish play and totally against how the team has played. Griff also more blatantly missed open men, which cost us an easier shot at goal.

I'm sure he would have been told how much time is left, he would've had an idea in his head how much time is left and since he didn't turn aground I can only assume he thought it was too risky to pass it.
Not selfish, smart play. He made the distance, so clearly it wasnt a stupid idea.
So either 100% a shot from far out or try to pass it to someone closer any maybe get it spoiled/siren goes.
Correct choice tbh. Game was lost by giving up a 3 goal lead, not from Lennon.

OK, there's your mistake right there.
If you're going to be makin' any more jokes in the near future please put at note at the start of your post warning that what follows "may contain joke/s".
Just to be sure you'd better put the note in CAPITALS.
wrong mate IMO,
it wouldve been 12 as a no risk kick... first rule in football avoid kicking to a stationary player and lead toward the ball carrier i watched on my phone so it was hard to judge... agree lennon turning his back was a bad look get the feeling most of us thought the ball was in the right hands tho... JackR probs does the same and we all think fair enough.
Any hope Lennon had of continuing his AFL career surely died today.... Even norf wouldn't put a contract in front of him
Actually maybe they would

Has Griff still got that 60 metre leg on him? Was hoping he'd have a shot with a minute left.

I watched the game and cannot believe Richmond lost it. The amount of easy unchecked marking and running Port Melbourne had was just bizarre. The entire Richmond team seemed to be playing 20 metres off their man. I don't know if it was soft football as they are hoping to get picked to play in the Grand Final next week or what it was. But Port Adelaide had the easiest of transitions that I have seen in any football match I have watched this year.
