Port Colts should have had the game sewn up at half time. Inaccurate kicking cost them in the end.
Thought the umpires were average. Colts definitely had the advantage in the first half, but it evened up after half time. First half was pretty lacklustre viewing, but the game opened up after half time and was a great spectacle.
McGhee went into the ruck after half time and was the main instigator behind the win. Great duel with Julier (who had been killing Spotty) and definitely shaded him.
Harris got BOG, which was surprising as he didn't touch it in the 1st half. Danny Jacobs was clearly BOG and when the scoreline is so tight, it shouldn't necessarily go to a player from the winning side.
For Spotty I thought McGee, Kelly, Molan (after half time), Sablich (leaked a couple of goals but was brave and attacking), and Dennerley were good.
For Port Colts Danny Jacobs, McNulty, Julier,Twomey and Brett Jacobs.
Colts will rue one that got away as Spotswood were about 3 goals down at 3/4 time.

The game was a close encounter with Colts holding sway for much of the day without landing the knockout blow. The umpiring was puzzling all day. They were paying non existent free kicks and missing the blatant ones. They were very quick with the whistle when the ball was in dispute and should have allowed another few seconds to let the boys fight it out. I won't comment on the goal/point because I couldn't pick it from where I was. As for the mark, I think I missed it, any more info?
we were standing on the flank in between the 2 canteens and it looked a point from where we were standing but the colts players celebrated as if it were a goal and it seemed the spotty boys had conceded so i dont know. definitly a turning point though.
i thought danny jacobs was easily bog with simpson being spottys best.

Fair point on Simpson. He kicked absolutely crucial goals when needed. Thought Molan appeared injured or disinterested in the 1st half. Amazing how things can turn around.
Keenan/Bonnet duel was about even. Keenan was good in the 1st and last quarters, while Bonnet was better in the 2nd and 3rd.

Everyone talks about spotty being dogs including myself,but how it turns when your in a losing side.
Clarkie is gone,he is the colts biggest dog and you won't see him playing football ever again after his behaviour today.five umpires reported him along with the WRFL and even the cops.
Good Bye Rock07,you dirty low life dog, can't accept defeat when it occurs.
Bet you will be boxing on back at colts ground by now,along with all the other low life dogs.
I hate spotty,but they were great in the last 5 minutes to win the game today and also glad they lost the ressies.
Where is the 09 season?

Was a great game today - McGhee into the ruck turned the game - Colts players cramming up suggested their condition was gone in second half - Spoty coming from behind was a hugh effort - after the siren BS was a slight on the game and league - only Rock will ever know the reasons .
As for the decision from a goal to a point appeared field umpire persuaded the goal umpire's decisicon - that's why Rock lost it toward the end - unfortunante for him .
BTW why Harris clearly Jacobs or Julier were BOG ?

Julier was clearly the best IMO. Quality player and busted his gut all day. McGhie was bloody good when he went on to the ball.
As for Rock, I really think we should just leave things alone because most of us wouldn't have a clue why things got out of control.
I tell you what though, Wyndham's cops got a fair work out today. They even got the SWAT van out. Was waiting for the national guard weekend warriors to come down....if we have any?
5 umpires reported Rock07? I was out on the ground but there was so much happening it was hard to keep up. I was trying to watch the celebrations but kept getting drawn away to look at fights.
What I know......
There was a dust up between rival supporter groups behind the Spotty bench. When I got over there there was a couple of Spotty supporters covered in blood. I saw one bald (small pony tail at the back), short Port Colts supporter in his 40's or 50's threatening a young Spotty supporter.
This was the same young Spotty supporter who was covered in blood about 5 mins later. He must have wandered over to the Port Colts huddle/supporters and given a bit of lip.
Don't think much happened after that.
Could the Mighty Beazer have made a difference in the twos?
I'm thinking.......YES......
I don't want to get in to talking about Mums but if she's our mascot and we're the Roosters.
Does that make her the ****? (or thereabouts)....
Your entitled to your opinion Foxxy but rather than post it like a coward why don't you head down to Murphys and discuss your comments to those who you have directed them at. You criticize freely from afar in a manner that is no better than the very essence of your post.
OBE1 i must admit i wasn't there, we finally had some sunshine and we had a lot of beers in the backyard today, we went out to the car around half time to check the scores (the only place we can pick up 88.9) and Colts were 17 points up.....i'm gonna stick up for Clarkie here, i've never met him but you can tell he's a good bloke from all the posts.....
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?

from what i seen rock07 ran to the umps and let'em know about their poor decissions. he was fumeing about that and just losing a g.f then some spotty supporter has said something and was egging him on to come over to him so in the heat of the moment he has gone over there by himself and started swinging . then colts supporters have seen this so therve ran over to back him up and then it was on for young and old. last thing u want to be doing is rubbing in to colts, the spotty bloke should of been in the centre celebrating with the rest of the spotty supporters.

Senior List
FiloBeddoe - bit surprised that you have not got a Conspirancy Theory going on today's events so I thought I would have a go
Conspiracy Theory Number One
Port Melbourne Colts win the 2007 WRFL Premiership. Early in the last quarter number 7 of Port Colts celebarates a goal (check this weeks local rag if you don't believe me). Soon after their full forward kicks a goal and high fives the crowd as he runs around the boundary line. Port Colts in front. Colts ruckman has a shot from 20m and does not make the distance. Spotty players told to wave goodbye to the flag. Spotty keep playing, Port Colts ?? Spotty win Premiership by 6 points.
Conspiracy Theory Number Two
Spotswood win the 2008 WRFL Second Semi Final. Spotswood have control over the game and look to reverse the result of their previous 2008 encounters. Port Melbourne Colts come form behind to win by 3 points. PMC celebrate their "Never say Die" attitude and have another week off.
Conspiracy Theory Number Three
Port Melbourne Colts win the 2008 WRFL Premiership. Port hold sway for most of the day with Danny Jacobs (the protected species) getting plenty of the ball. Despite Spotty getting the best of the umpires (someone elses words not mine) Port Melbourne Colts hold a commanding (in the contaxt of the game) at 3 quarter time. A goal here or there and Colts are still 3 straight kicks in front. 23 from Spotty has run D.Jacobs into the ground so he goes forward for a rest. 21 from Colts finally meets an equally or stronger opponent in the ruck (number 34 whose old man apparently knows a bit about playing in a Premiership Team). Colts still favoured to win as they begin to high five on the bench at the 20 minute mark and in the crowd (they must have forgotten about last year). Spotty get back to within 2 points with not long to go. Ball goes toward Spotty goal square and amongst at least 10 players 22 from Spotty takes a mark. The same 22 from Spotty who Colts Coach said on the radio following second semi that he was good, just sometimes he does not want to be !!. Well, this time he wanted to be good. At the bounce 34 from Spotty against the tiring 21 from Colts thumps the ball 30m toward Spotty goal. Kicked forward to a mark form Andrew Gibson Medalist 35 who increases the margin to 10 points after the siren.
Spotty win the flag for back to back victories, both against Port Melbourne Colts and both from being behind with 8 minutes to go !!
Conspiracy Theory Number Four
After the game Colts number 7 rushes to the umpires to congratulate them on the great job they had done with their umpiring of the game. He soon departs to leave his team mates and supporters to have a frank discussion about the way the day unfolded. Plod arrives and gives them a spray prior to the Premiership Team presentation and celebration.
Soon be Cricket !!
for 15 minutes of a 100 minute game, julier tired, he was best on ground by 100 miles
i hope u get off clarky, coz in all my time in football i have never seen a field umpire overide a goal umpire before he had even made a decision

You can't defend the post match shenanigans and all the people involved in it were disappointing, but to say the Millen goal decision didn't cost the Colts not right. It was one of two defining moments. Had it been a goal Spotty need two goals to win and the Colts can bottle the game up more, the goal after the siren to Spotty only happens because Colts had to chase the game. Other crucial incident was Massis going off, he seemed to be an important factor in keeping Harris quiet. Once his hammy pinged, Harris started to run amok and played a very good second half, but agree he didnt deserve the medal on the day, as if the umpires are going to get that right either.
Colts on balance of the day should have won but bad kicking is bad football, the other factor was how many of their players cramped, they ran out legs badly? Also Danny Jacobs who was sublime early, was clearly favouring his hip late and couldn't kick through the ball properly, that was a big blow for the Colts, even though to credit his bravery he was still playing well, despite seemingly being in agony. Everything was conspiring against Colts but they still would have still beaten a lesser side, but to Spotty's credit they showed great heart and a couple of master strokes - McGhie in the ruck, Kelly in defense and O'Keefe coming back on despite injures - enabled them to pinch the game.
On the umpiring, I didnt think on balance it favoured either team too much, the Millen one is like the Liberatore final goal, no-one really knows, but it was ugly officiating and a blight, as was the umpiring in general, which rarely if ever in this league matches the quality of the football. A couple of holding the ball decisions in the last quarter will go down as the most putrid pieces of football officiating ever witnessed. Also, the decision to start from the centre was good, but why after constant miscues did the umpires continue to bounce on the sticky centre when throwing it up would have been far better.

Im sure your man enough to stand by your words?????????????
What's the easiest way to stuff up a good game of football?
Put three WRFL Umpires in charge of it!
Yesterday's game was always going to be close, but poor umpiring decisions has cost the PAYING public the privelage to view a fantastic game of football.
In the first half, Colts probably had around 3 -4 times as many free kicks compared to Spotswood, third quater saw an even number of frees to each team. Last quarter (where it all counts) the umpires decided that colts had already had their fair share of frees and it was time to even it up a bit.
It is now history, spotty win back to back premierships both against Colts.
Not sure what got Rock all fired up about with the crowd, sure he will let us all know.
