Happy someone called it. It was a maestro stroke of genius. Not sure what he was listening to, but it signalled we were getting serious at that stage of the match.The real turning point was when the maestro put the headphones on.

We were the only favourite to win today.
Great effort to go against the grain and win in a day full of upsets.

Dont think this has any bearing on this result at all.

It was cotton eye joe playing on his headsetThe real turning point was when the maestro put the headphones on.
Got absolutely screwed by umpires and still managed to come back and win away from home to claim second. 
Melbourne's defence were great and Gawn was stopping everything. We overused the handball trying to buy space and time to find an option but Melbourne's pressure was very good. Thus all the turnovers and scramble kicks.
Honestly rate that win. Ugly in the way a lot of finals are.

Those hybrid defenders - Bergman, Jones and Evans - are holding up very well. I noticed Jones copped some criticism above. Granted Pickett had a big night and played on him and Farrell for most of it, but Jones looks a much more composed and reliable player now.
Melbourne brought the heat, their pressure was some of the best I have seen this season
Narkle had the ball the whole time and passed to Rozee.

That was finals like pressure, and Melbournes mini Grandfinal

We won the free kick count easily with our 15. Max only got 7.

Pickett gets away with 2 pushes in the back for goals, one from a free kick for deliberate that probably wouldn't be paid to us, and one bludging behind the play when we turned the ball over from BZT's spoil.
Jones straight lines the ball every time, took some strong grabs and hit targets. Thought he, Evans and Bergman were really important when Houston and Farrell were quiet.
Before we booed Ken, we also would've been the only team on a day of upsets where the favourite won.
Except our opponent would've been the only favourite that won.
They're gonna need a lot of tarps...

Dees s**t the bed big time and blew 3 or 4 gold plated chances to goal late.
Port played the final 6 minutes superbly, and never felt like they were going to lose it.
JHF his last quarter was one for the ages. Gets the 3 Brownlow votes for that alone.
This seals a top 2 finish. Freo is going to water quickly, and the Camries will be blown to the scheisenhausen next week.

That push in the back was as as blatant as can be
I genuinely can’t recall as many horrific one sided umpiring decisions as this game
The afl sucks d1ck on an epic scale
Most impressive thing about boak tonight is the 86% disposal efficiency and the 1 turnover. Moving like a madman out there and took langdon to the cleaners with his bodywork and spread a few times. Nowhere near past it
In the 30 odd years ive been watching footy i can safely say i have never seen anyone close to JHF. He is his own being, in about 10-15 years we’ll be talking about him to our children how Ablett and Judd are to us right now. The maturity and complete package
Losing georgiades cost us 3-5 goals + 7-10 score involvements and we see what happens when we replace him with lead to the pockets marshall. Going to be hard going if hes out for longer

They'd be talking about shipping us to Tassie if that was our home crowd.

I’m one of his biggest critics but don’t want him retiring due to head injuries. Would prefer he was traded or was handy depth than being forced out of the game.
