Clearly he’s trying to put his thumb on the scale to try to get Rioli off …

(1) Sure, staging is a thing, but in this era not when somebody makes deliberate contact with your head.

(2) Not sure that the league is too concerned about staging in off-the-ball incidents.

(3) Cornes will know very well that Murphy has a history of getting concussed after fairly innocuous incidents. (And getting up unscathed after bone crunching ones)

I’d hope that somebody has a quiet word to Cornes behind the scenes that he can’t be making comments like that in this age.
Kane is trying to be controversial as usual.

Imagine if that was Nick Daicos - it would be his frustrations after being tagged have boiled over. Needs to be suspended to set an example. Needs to be better than that. Etc

Still not creating enough spillage and stoppages in our forward line. McStay needs to stay disciplined against the likes of Allir. That role is crucial. Surely we have a player we can play forward and apply manic pressure.

I think the wet weather brought us back a bit it stifled our handball a bit and clean ball movement
Ball seemed to keep skidding past us. I don't think the MCG gets like that, or at least drains fairly quickly.

The other thing we can really improve on is getting more players at the foot of the contest. It seems there were always Port players around marking contests.

I actually liked McStay's game. I thought he kept presenting whether in F50, or up the ground as that link up player.
I think he will work his way into the season, considering it's only his second game back at AFL level....
 
Congratulations on the win guys. I was confident you would now down the 17 point lead.

Thought Darcy Moore and Josh Daicos were simply outstanding.

Kane better not have Murphy as his Vol-Kane-o this morning on the Footy show, and calling him a flopper.....😡
 
Taylor Adams was interviewed after the game. Said that Daicos was beaten in the first half. Adams kept his morale up by reminding him he was untaggable for 4 quarters. And he did lift in the last. He was very good in the last. Adams was rapt with the way Daicos fought it out.
So was I.
Anybody with any nous could see that.
Go re-watch the game.
Legend.

It's almost as if he is a 20yo, 2nd year player still developing his game at AFL... lol.

Even when he was quieter then typical in that first half he had some good in close handballs but the player receiving stuffed the next passage up.
 
His best quarter was his last.
And you know what, it meant we won.
I’m not hanging s**t on the kid. I was actually proud of his game, because for 3 quarters he got sat on, Drew and Rozee were rampant and in the end, he powered on. He didn’t drop his head.
Nick Daicos got reminded of finals where it’s very hard to run around running your own show.

Port’s spread was much better. They squeezed DeGoey and Nick and they made it a grind. The conditions suited it. I think we are a better dry team.
But, full credit to Port. They almost executed perfectly.

I agree whilst we weren't disgraced in the wet, it doesn't suit our style as well.

Allowed port to make it a contested scrap and also some players skills dropped off a bit. Missed handballs, fumbles, and mis kicks likely in part due to wet conditions.

Think Lipinski had been getting a MASSIVE amount of grace since returning as well. Has barely played a good quarter since coming back in, others have been dropped for a lot less poor showings.

It's amazing that he is still talked about as a young player still finding himself in the game, and still learning and developing his craft, yet he will more than likely win the Brownlow. Its just amazing to even fathom that feat.....
 
The port thread is an interesting read. Wow they go hard at Ken, they played better than us tonight and apparently all the players need to be sacked too. Ahh BF the team names might be different but the posters are all the same. Oh and apparently according to them they got totally screwed by the umps. 🤔 I swear I was reading some of our old comments in it.
If they're sacking players, we'll have Butters & Rozee.

I honestly think port subbing lycett was huge win for pies.His ability to absolutely hold Cameron every stoppage without giving a free was amazing.
Agree. Big implications for their season too possibly with Dixons knee a consequence of his time in the ruck.
 
Which in particular?

Just the rubbing it in and the suck shit type comments.

They gave us everything, these are the games that prepare us for the big day.

Pies won, talk about the positives and negatives in regards to Collingwood apart from the dirty Rioli hit nothing more to say, Port are amazing and the real deal.
 
I dunno what to feel after that. Elation of course, but I behaved really badly during that game. We had friends over, and I swore and yelled a lot, and they looked a bit shocked. Then I ran out of the room with ten minutes to go, and didn’t come back until the siren.

Mr Park is now giving me the silent treatment for ‘behaving like a child’.

I don’t think I’m cut out for these high pressure games. Was seriously thinking of giving footy away during that game.

But not before we win the flag.😊

We've all been there Vicky.
 
Was that a laser light? Looked like a reflection on the lens....
That was my first thought, but the light moves when the camera is still & there’s also a duller light on the grass towards the end of the clip.
 
The lack of remorse made it worse. Spraying Murphy after he kicked his set-shot. How many weeks you guys reckon?

Cornes is saying Murphy milked it and the AFL should look at a staging fine.

Certified ****wit.

Edit. Someone else has already posted about it.
