Watching on Kayo.  What is the point !

its 10 minutes behind. Better to listen to the ABC and watc a replay. Absolutely rubbish.  At least last year with Telstra it was only 30 seconds behind

[whatwhat say what 19,832]

Channel 7 commentary is ghastly 

[doc roet 1,232]

Hold on Port

[whatwhat say what 19,832]

Brilliant defensive effort by Castagna - he cops a lot of knocks but his work rate is like ANB

IT's all the same. Fox and Seven. Just [censored].

[Demonland 66,604]

Another home ground umpire advantage. 

Frees

21 Port

11 Richmond

[Lord Travis 10,278]

Good win by Port in a frenzied final quarter. Great to see Tigers lose again. Sick of them!

[640MD 3,015]

Still a good hard game.  
 

tigers abut unlucky perhaps but port played well

[Demon Dynasty 16,048]

Can't decide who helped get Port over the line more....Broad or the Umps.  Actually probably Broad

That was a long time to wait.

[censored] Jack for missing that goal. I put Dees and Toiges in a double.

Dursma did a knee and they were going on about a head injury.

Sure he hit his head but he was lying on the ground holding his knee...

[DubDee 21,400]

Good game to watch. Port played like it was a GF, they have multiple injuries and many sore boys.  Durrsma ACL? hopefully not

Bitters your here? Thought you would be in mourning after the news of one of your brethren.

That's the best game so far this year in terms of finals like pressure

Not sure we're quite up to that level just yet ... pace was furious and even the best players had no time to release the ball 

End to end, frantic ball movement and about the right amount of goals

Neither team deserved to lose and if Costagna had have been able to get a foot to the ball then the Tiges probably win

Great match!

COVID has been good for one thing.

Are we watching the same game? Yes there are errors but look at the frenetic pace and intensity of the game. 

Yeah, completely agree. I don't think we're anywhere near the standard of those two teams. High intensity and some good team defence on show from both teams.

It'd be interesting to see how we'd handle the tempo of a game like that. I think our midfield is equal to both teams, but the cleanness of the defences and the ability for both sides to get those ground balls off contested situations was very impressive. It looked like we were watching two of the top 4 teams this year IMO. I can't see us breaking into a top 4 consisting of Port, Richmond, Eagles and Bulldogs.

I mostly agree mate, although Port should have won by 3 or 4 goals had they kicked straight.

Agree with your summation AF but we can finish as high as 4th if the cards fall our way ... the inequities of the draw with regards to the double-ups etc etc

15 wins might snag 4th spot but can we win 15 games?  We'll need to not drop games we should win but more importantly, we'll need to split 50/50 or 40/60 against the better teams

For instance, we're good enough to beat the Cats & Hawks so we need to get it done.  5 & 0 after 5 rounds and then the playing group can gain real confidence (yeah I know, one week at a time etc etc but we're just onlookers!)

But tonight's game was on another level ... I totally understand those who highlighted the errors made (and there were many) but the pressure and pace was through the roof.

[Demon Jack 6,388]

Not gonna lie, the idea of beating Geelong on Sunday and finishing two games ahead of the Tigers is very sexually arousing.
