This is a good battle

Pro Richmond umpiring an absolute Disgrace!!

Umps ruined it as usual that last htb, my my would be more mental than normal as a port supporter. Tigers defense starting to look really good. Grimes and Vlaustin makes for a very different team.

Out contested in the end. 

Clown 26 - again. Sound familiar?

Fairly entertaining game with two average mid-table teams

hitouts 42-18 but Port won the clearances 

footy is weird

yeah, too many tiggy touchwood inconsequential free kicks.....ruins the game. it's almost as if the umps are itching to pay as many frees as they can

I always thought it was 'tiggy'? 🤷‍♂️

Looking forward to a comment from Caroline Wilson in regards to the crowd of 21,000 tonight, in which the home side has the most members in the AFL.

This is the same Wilson who bagged Melbourne for getting 29,000 against Freo, which was the highest ever crowd between those two sides at the MCG.

So true, when i watch games i'm not invested in is when i think it really has changed (for the worse)

I will never believe umpires are corrupt unless factually reported, or that the AFL plays favorites, but I do think they have biases that come out occasionally and i do think there is memo of the week. 

As for getting consistency I would back the umps to be small teams/crews, that practice together and do match sim with teams in the same crew, they will officiate with to help standardize their decision making. Variations between umpires in game is infuriating.

I only watched a bit of the game, yet I saw him make at least 6 mistakes and all went Tigers way. Carey was clearly frustrated and said so.

I think this bloke must be a Tigers’ fan.

I like to focus on the big issues of the day...

Go Blues???

Well, it’s either that or go 🤮 Ess 🤮en🤮don 🤮

Carlton easily.

It would be very funny to see Essendon belted on their 150th

Have I missed something here??? 😕 

Is there footy on tonight?

Seems some fairy tale is playing aat the mo.....

Here’s hoping that the bombers 150th celebration is as memorable as ours back in 2008 against geelong 

I'm watching the pre game.  There's some fat slug spruicking their  history.

I wonder if he'll  talk up the drug taking saga and the the stripped Download Medal.

On Hird "legacy untouched" FMD !!!!!

I'm getting [censored] sick

WTF is up with this pre game?

Are they going to mention 17 years without winning a final?

and were they all wearing red and blue scarfs?

desperate attempt at relevance. you ain't a big club anymore folks
