St Kilda's brand doesn't work away from Etihad against half decent opposition. It's high pressure, high intensity, but it's the sort of brand that has very little to it and won't stand up in finals either. They don't have enough contested ball beasts in the middle.

Agree. Saints wins games on pure effort. They won't do any damage in finals without more talent in the middle. forward line looks good though. 

[Nasher 33,607]

Goal to Toumpas.  Good young player that guy.

[Nasher 33,607]

Not going for Port and I couldn't give a rats about them, but they're still making me groan and swear with some of the errors, e.g. the Westhoff spilt mark, Trengove kicking it to nobody.

I reckon their spine is looking pretty impressive, but Stevens, Armitage... Acres? Billings? Ross? Gresham? It's not a group that comes anywhere near ours, the Dogs or GWS' midfield group.

They are mindbogglingly bad, and Westhoff is having the worst game I've seen him play (personified by that kick for goal).

Not to mention 10 minutes ago when he burned his teammate running open into the goalsquare (only to spray his kick for goal) and 5 minutes ago when he spoiled a ball rather than marked it, leading straight to an Adelaide goal.

Hawthorn look beatable, West Coast look beatable, Sydney look beatable, Geelong look beatable, Western Bulldogs look beatable, GWS look beatable, and now Adelaide look beatable.

It's funny. It's almost as if they all just want to get to September uninjured and have switched off a little.

Amazing. 17,000 Collingwood fans tonight. If it was Melbourne everyone would be up in arms. The lack of crowds for these 'big' Victorian based sides over the last 2-3 years has been overt.

[Demon Jack 6,836]

Toumpas finding it hard to find the ball tonight. Just the seven touches and a goal.

Yep that is a stinker of a crowd and tells you right now how unhappy pies fans have been this season. They are just no interested anymore. 

So Howe took a few hangers did he? Well that's nice.

I turned over from the Showdown for 2 minutes and Howe took a regulation mark. The commentators couldn't control themselves, wetting their chairs with excitement. Just the usual brain-cell killing dribble from Seven's Saturday night commentary team.

[Deemented Are Go! 3,677]

Toumpa!!

[SaberFang 7,151]

Toumpas just cost Port the game. Wow, that's almost coach killing.

[Schneider 220]

Ughh Toumpas nice handball buddy

[Ethan Tremblay 30,775]

Oh no Toump...

[Nasher 33,607]

Ahhh, Toump! You're breaking my heart lad.

[The heart beats true 18,076]

Yeah, pretty sure I just watched Jimmy T's career end.

[whatwhat say what 22,525]

Good to see Howe's playing forward in a finals-bound team in front of big crowds at the G, isn't it...oh, wait........

LOL. I said Toumpas costs us 2 games a year from momentum killing turnovers last year in the trade period. He just cost Port 1 game. He's a  ripper

Classic Toump

[SaberFang 7,151]

And Walker to kick the matchwinner. Beautiful.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I feel for Toumpas because he seems like such a nice guy, sadly he just isn't suited to the AFL.
