Did you see last night? Port had 6 frees kicks till half way through the last quarter.
The AFL narrative fairytale plays such a big part. If Richmond win it, good on them, they'll deserve it because I think they are third in line with who the AFL want to win. A Geelong v Brisbane Grand Final with Geelong winning is what the AFL want.

Why would the AFL want Geelong to win?

That'd be one long charade of a manufactured season to keep Brisbane at top 2, in order to sustain interest.

Don't worry u will get a good run in Adelaide
The Narrative is just perfect for Geelong.
Danger being President of the AFLPA who has been so "accommodating" in getting all the Vic clubs to quarantine in their luxury resorts.
The Little Born Again Mercenary to go out with a bang after "helping out" the AFL/Gold Coast in the early years by taking bags of money to play for them.
The AFL have been pleased at the way Geelong have handled their Luxury Resort stays with a minimum of fuss.
Brisbane are the next rung cause "quEEnslaNd sAveD foOtbALl", but the AFL don't want the home ground Grand Final advantage MCC backdoor corrupt deal to be further exposed.
Given Richmond's behaviour this year I think they've run out of credits with the AFL.
Port, yeah whatever.

It is not a rant, just my take on it. I have explained in my previous post why Port is not at that stage yet.Great job by port finishing the year on top. That has nothing to do with finals discussions and winning the flag. As you know finals are a different ball game all together and many other factors comes to play. Based on those factors and considering the current pedigree of teams in the 8 that have met those standards on regular basis and way more consistent than your mob, the argument why port's name is not mentioned more often is justified.

Doesn’t matter
Umpiring bias is such a ****ing laugh.
Richmond are always in the negative and I get it why it’s the way we play, we give a lot of frees away. End of story.

Sorry, can you please map that against contested possessions total/diff and tackles total/diff stats?
You might actually find some of the reasons for the above.
Sorry...can you map that against contested possessions etc etc etc.... I've already made the point I was making... A port supporter made the claim that your side wasn't looked after by the umpires, I've posted a statistic that says you are . what your asking for I couldn't care less about

man ... don't know what to say but ur already crying.
You got 2 home finals and we all know the silver service Adelaide teams get in Adelaide.
BUT maybe you have a point. We all saw the 2016 GF where the umps got sucked into the fairytale. But that was more driven by the media etc
Saying the AFL want Geelong to win is garbage.
Richmond are so obviously going to win again it's ridiculous

I think Port could beat them if they bring sufficient midfield pressure. Their contested style should stand up in finals.
The big question about Port for mine is whether they have a second or third banana behind Charlie Dixon. Because Dixon probably isn't going to take 10 contested marks and kick five goals in a final when he's getting double teamed by a good back six. If Dixon plays well, he might still kick 2 or 3 but it's probably not going to be a big bag. So the question for Port is about who else can bob up and kick a few when they need them. Robbie Gray might be the barometer when it gets to the pointy end.
It's Richmond's to lose, they are absolutely cruising, go into finals with a 6 game winning streak, Jack is back in form, play their bunnies first up, reasonable chance of then playing their other bunnies (us) in a prelim, Lynch should be back and they should also have Prestia to come back in.

I wonder if the injury to Soldo comes back to bite them at all.
You poor sods must just get together and gripe.

Tellingly, not a denial either way.
I say good luck to Brisbane. But don't pretend you haven't had a unique advantage.
I really think you guys are the only legitimate flag threat to exploit that because of Nic Nat but I don't know if you can beat Port in Adelaide or us in QLD to play the Tigers.
