Yeah Rockliff was there, but he made no attempt to get the ball, it almost looked like he was guarding the space to make sure that the ball went out.

Yeah, when did that change? It is a pretty silly rule IMO but the Hartlett one was nearly the most obvious of the night
They wouldn’t have been allowed to wear the bars anyway. Mark Williams stated it very clearly on The Front Bar the other week. Port Adelaide in the SANFL and Port in the AFL are 2 separate entities and they have different jumpers.
It was clearly the most obvious. The others all had an element of bad luck about them but at least the umpires were consistent with it. Hartless just obviously belted it straight over the line with no other intention.
Gee that Tim lane is a real piece of work. Was listening to 3aw in the car earlier and twice he tried to call us thugs. Both times was put back in his box. The first was when they were interviewing president Peggy. He asked her what she thought about our bad behaviour..she replied “ I don’t know what you are talking about”
The second one was even better when the rest of his panel turned against him later when he brought up the Lynch “knee”. Before he even finished his sentence Leigh Matthews almost yelled “it wasn’t a knee!!!!” . Matthew Lloyd said years ago he talked to dean Solomon when he was at the suns and he was told by him that you wouldnt meet a nicer guy than tommy. Finally Caro said point blank to him that lane just hates Richmond
he came back with some lame comparison with what happened in 1973
He is a *smile*
i hope the swear filter picks that up

Tim Lane is the Mince Whateley of years gone by. The soccer mums of the football world. Both would be happier if it was a non contact sport.Gee that Tim lane is a real piece of work.

Total ponces both of them.
Couple of seasons ago, I've been banging on about it for quite some time.You have to have a legitimate other option for what you are doing with the ball that doesn't involve just not trying to cross the line.
I thought all of the deliberate decisions last night were correct and there was one late that was probably a miss against Port at half forward. The Hartlett one was different to the others because he did have a legitimate option in the form of a team mate standing there, but he put the ball so far over the line, and with such force, it was paid as a straight deliberate out of bounds.
You can usually tell that its obvious when the commentators all agree which they did on the Hartlett one. They all said he disguised it really poorly and he did. Mostly they don't seem to have received the memo that you have about deliberate OOB, since you mentioned that on here I've watched them in a very different manner and don't get quite so annoyed now as I understand what the umps are looking for.
Its similar to people not understanding the rules when Gray gave away a free for blocking, there was a marking attempt that he didn't bother to go for (leaving it for someone around him) but blocked the Tiger (can't remember who it was) from flying for the marking contest. It was a clear free, but again you hear the boos, and even Gray seems surprised, thought it was one of the more obvious frees last night.
I'm coming around to your thoughts that people are more annoyed about the umpiring as they don't understand the rules. There were a few yesterday I was annoyed with, particularly with 2 head high hits in the final quarter (1 on Jack that Butters tried to back out of, put his arms up in the air but still got him high, and the other was the head high bump on Vlastuin by Rozee, which could be another one of those scenarios where a player is punished by the MRO but the ump didn't pay a free, not the 1st time thats happened to us this season).
Once again the commentators last night were Port Power up to their eyeballs.
Almost everything they did was marvellous, brilliant or something equally as asinine.
Hardly any praise for some brilliant moves by the winners.
Oh well, suck it up you lot, we won and that is all matters.

What about the host! He usually sounds like he is on mogadon but was positively comatose last night.
Yep, the Ch7 commentary at the end of the game had the atmosphere of a funeral!!!
I can't really remember, maybe it was a caller after the game last night, and on the radio this morning saying that Port Adelaide deserved to win because they finished on top and were there for the whole season, it's a bit of a tragedy they are not there. Well Port had all those home games, much like Brisbane, they got to sleep in their own beds, go out to wherever they wanted to, with minimum restrictions, didn't have to worry about players staying behind in Melbourne and not going to the hubs. They had an armchair ride to make the grand final and couldn't do it so bad luck I say, you had everything going for you and you still can't win. Contrast the tigers: being in a hub for three months, key players not going to the hub, hub indiscretions, all media against us trying to make out we are the bad boys of the AFL trying push the boundaries on the field, horrendous commentary bias every week, perplexing umpiring decisions every week ect....
Our club is unbelievable, they have done it the hardest way no question, yet you wouldn't know it unless you are a tigers supporter. So proud of the club, and if we win next week it should be labelled the greatest Premiership ever!!
* Also extremely proud of our coach, Peggy and Brendan for sticking up for the club and really never complaining about anything when they all had the right to complain. Just a professional organisation and we are all blessed with how great our club is.

1973 ffs! Yes, Richmond and Carlton hated each other then on and off the field, but that was 47 yeas ago, Tim. Let it go!Gee that Tim lane is a real piece of work.
