Port getting slaughtered by the green turds.

Agree shocking umpiring tonight. Rampant favouritism to the supposedly better team. Port got reamed by the umpires.

Happens all the time. Umps love favourites, love glamour sides with big names, its sucks, but just the way it is.
 
Richmond being a very big club in affect makes us an easier target.Bigger target I should say.
Opponent teams like to knock us down a peg so they try harder.

We have to learn to deal with the added pressure.

Geelong and Collingwood are two targets we must knock over next year to get that confidence to overcome the mental barriers.

The players will know next year.
 
A massive marking forward still important.J ay Schulz one of most exceptional career turn arounds in years.
If not a elite forward is the best of the rest now.
 
You were correct LTRTR about Port faltering at the end, but I did admire their commitment to the end. They had a fair dinkum crack and will only be better for the effort and experience.

Yeah it wasn't a bad game to watch. Neutrals said the same about our game. Both sides led by 4 goals at half time and lost by 3. I think we're better than Port, but the ladder doesn't show it.

Much of the finals magic was lost for me with the R21 defeat. Already over last week and looking forward to 2014.
 
Well done to Schulz.
Monfries playing his best footy at Port.

Don't know if it's the jungle juice.

They have a lot of great youngsters like Wingard.

Westhoff is a goal sniffer.

Knows where they are.
Still gutted about the Tiges not being there tomorrow.

I would be in Sydney now beering up.

After we lost the dreamtime game you said our season is over.

You said Gold Coast would pump us.

You said Hawthorn would pump us.

Agree, always been a Sarge fan and think he has become a very good, consistent key forward, but 9 touches, 2 marks, 2 goals. If Jack had those stats questions would be asked on this site. (How good would we look with both?)

Westhoff goal of the year for mine. He has become a star this bloke. 197, runs all day. Blicavs the same, but the Hoff has the party tricks and real football ability. Beanie can be Hoff to the power of n.

TV played better last week but gets bagged by many.

Port have done well this year, it will be interesting to see how they follow it up. History is littered with sides who jump up the ladder one year then fall straight back down again.
 
Not going to get into comparison arguments but its about key forwards remaining in the game to the end. Impacting the contest. Winning the ball. We had none of that when the game was in balance. Took Ivan to go forward to show the way.

I agree and like your attitude. I shall endeavour to adopt a similar approach from here on in.
 
Chappy. What a star.

Written off more times than Rocky. Even his own club has doubts yet keeps producing on the big stage.

4 goals & BOG in his 2nd full game back after 13 weeks out injured.

Never write off a champion.

Think Port has done the same as us and run too hard in the first half. I disagree about our players having anything left to give.

Yep, make no mistake about it we went in hard in the first half of the Carlton game.
