Autopsy AFL 2020 First Preliminary Final - Port v Tigers Fri October 16th 7:50pm AEDT / 7:20pm AEST (AO) Match Highlights in OP

[Chinacats]

Tigers should be too good in this one. The champions to step things up . Tigers by 24+...

D

Dew point at this time of year is normally between 13 -16 degrees. Temp was higher than that for that game.

Players said it was wet and you could see the ball slide on straight instead of bounce normally on more than one occasion.

The biggest question for the match is will Port be doing a Power Stance?

Not sure if trying to be funny or clever but coming across as just weird.

Think you will find it was Bruce that mentioned it and he wasn't even in the state. Would be interested to hear from someone actually at the game . I have only been to all of the Gabba finals. Definitely no dew at those games.

No dew, can confirm

All of the above

Interesting how Hardwick is the one making statements like the Lynch one yesterday, and Port have said nothing of note what so ever. Promises to be a cracking game on strategies and matchups.

Why is it interesting?

Was is it interesting?

Definitely. Shows that one team's coach is focused on the game on hand, while the other coach wants to play mind games in the media.

Quality posting as always from you MCR.

Take it easy with the outstanding effort mate. You are the reigning Premiers.

Next thing you'll compare Footballers to Veterans.

Not my fault you couldn't understand what I said.

Ok, you’re nitpicking again, arguing for the sake of arguing.
1) I did not mention Port - I was talking about Richmond this year, not last year, not three years ago, did you understand that?
2) I said it would be a great achievement considering our-mid year form this year and the players we had out.
Things were looking pretty sour from our perspective at the time.
Hope you got that ok because I’m.not writing an essay so you can get my post, remember it was you who replied to my post originally.

No I just save myself from the embarrassment of posting constant BS as you do in every thread.

Not sure how it qualifies as constant BS when Hardwick did come out with those comments?

You'd get better banter out of a stapler

It's called professional sport it happens in all sporting media all over the world. How long have you been watching sport for? Since Brisbane become relevant again in guessing.

I haven't watched the press conference. Was he asked about Lynch? It seems very un-Hardwick like to go off his own bat to talk about him.

Direct question about Lynch
Said he plays hard, would prefer he didn’t concede silly and frees but loves how he attacks marking contests. If anyone wants to sit in front of him - watch out.

Ah the childish name calling and resorting to demeaning. You got anything else?
Bit rich to call me for becoming a bandwagoner when you joined up in 2019 bud. I think it's clear to see who is the bandwagoner here.

Agree, it was directly asked about what he thought of Lynch's aggression and he responded as such. Will be a fascinating matchup to see how Port deal with it.

Did you just look for a Harwick comment?

Port have made comments also, so i suppose you weren't looking for them.


Hinkley pointed out he has an overtly-aggressive forward, Charlie Dixon, in his team.
"Charlie ... is not dissimilar (to Lynch)," he said.
"He crashes packs. He hits things. He likes it, he enjoys it."

I got lost at the childish name calling accusation. Anyway this is almost turning into a Brisbane game day thread somehow again just like the Siants game. Good luck Saturday.

So how is that playing mind games by Dimma? Please explain.

 

[G String]

Whats with some Brissy posters still trolling. LET. IT. GO. Dont you have better things to do? ie like trolling Geelong supporters. Its not even good quality trolling - it's not funny, its boring, its confusing and its a waste of time. Tigers v Port banter - please continue, it's much more relevant and entertaining.

They wouldn’t dare mention that though

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

I think you would find most crows supporters understand we got beaten by a great Richmond team/game style that has proven to be very tough to beat for 4 years. No shame in losing to the best team in the last 4 years.

Seeing Port even make a grand final is something we will hate

Did you lose because you had to play Richmond at the MCG or is it a different story this week?

So based on Hardwick responding to a question asked of him, I would hardly call that playing mind games. He's had plenty of opportunities to do that in finals, he could have said Lynch was playing against Brisbane and pulled him out late but instead he announced almost a week out that he'd not play. So I dont really think mindgames is accurate of Hardwick, he's just responding to a question asked over and over again of his player.
