How good is JHF. Farrell marked it cleanly, but should have turned his body to make sure Sidebottom couldn't knock it out. Too casual. Watch it at slow speed.
He's been the victim of some terrible passing by team mates. Number of times he was open and the pass to him hit turf and took away the advantage he worked hard to gain.
He's had a rough few weeks, but I'm not writing him off.
I thought it was classic by Rioli. Treated Murphy like the bitch he is.

It’s all I’ve seen since Jonas became captain
I hate to say it but Collingwood showed up in 4th, looked like a super drilled team, really well coached
Agree that it should be a mark but also agree that Farrell is too soft here. He wouldn't have kicked it even if it was called, you can tell with his lack of intensity here.

That was a great game of football, worthy of a grand final. Craig Macare said it was the best game he has been involved in during the past 2 years.
We lost by 2 points to the clear number 1 side in the competition with an extraordinary kick from the boundary from a questionable mark. As Macrae said, it was a result that came down to moments in a game.
Am I shattered at losing, of course. But we have to take the good things out of that game, work on what we can do better and keep pushing on to get the highest ladder position we can.
Bergman came back into some form.
I liked most of what Lachie did, he seems very confident in his body now, speed, power and that leap, wow!
Willie Rioli, welcome back. Super small forward game.
Willem Drew, 16 tackles and limited Daicos's influence, plus had an attacking game that made him a threat.
Rozee, Butters and Houston just look so good
Burton looked more like the reliable attacking defender that he can be
Peps was a force of nature again
JHF is a unique talent. He's going to be so important in coming years as he builds fitness and experience. Another competitive beast and exceptional talent.

Cos they are the best team in the competition and incredibly well drilled, their ball movement and player movements tell you that
It was wet - their talls weren't great either.
Pretty hard to stay positive when we keep screwing up these season defining games. At least it didn't occur in a final and we live to see another week. Finals is a big concern now as we fail when the high pressure moment is there to be won.
You do realise that not everyone can get 25+d etc.
Who exactly are you replacing them with?
Both still have roles to play this season - there is nobody as good as then waiting.
Take off your Port centric glasses. They were as wobbly as us on many occasions. It was a high pressure game. Their top line players were making plenty of panicky handballs and field kicks on perceived pressure which we benefited from.
The big difference in the end was they came out after 3 qtr time and it was as if they had one goal of absolutely winning the first clearance. They grew in confidence from there and their set shot goal kicking reflected that. They literally kicked them from everywhere. It was their class players that delivered big time on the goal kicking front.
Of course we had home ground advantage and should’ve made the most of it.
As an aside, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a minor round game like that umpired like it was a GF. So many 50/50 decisions not called.

I reckon it showed we can beat them .

Yeah. It's weird how people can't see the link between the emergence of Rozee and Butters as regular 30+ disposal winners (plus the increasing prominence of Drew and the addition of JHF) and Wines and Boak becoming much less influential role players. There's only so many possessions to go around in a game of football.
How so?
Fantasia and Narkle would've been better in the ruck...

Tonight pretty much come down to execution under pressure.
Kick some of those “easier” goals and get rid of some of the mistakes and we win.
The issue is that this is a constant thing.
All too often we choke under pressure and it’s stupid stuff like deliberate out of bounds or horrible tackles.
Not going to ping individuals too much as to me it’s almost a systemic thing.

lol, what disingenous shite. We all know posession count is not the problem.
If anything, hiding away as the 5th and 6th mids has worked in their favour, because most people have forgot how useless they are until we started losing.

Last year Wines averaged 71% centre bounce attendances and Boak averaged 61%. Rozee averaged 50% and Butters 38%. JHF obviously didn't attend one for us.
This year Wines averages 54% and Boak averages 19%. Rozee 69%, JHF 58%, Butters 57%.

I haven't bought into anything else I've seen about the umpiring tonight. The high tackle on Daicos was there, the deliberate was blatant, and Elliott marked the ball inside the line.
This, though? Hmm ...
