Jason Taylor was a big Humphrey fan, good to know he’s still got an eye for it. 

After the early morning post match review, straight to the pool room to watch Humphery at 9:30.

They are a very good side wait till you see what happens to us on KB.

Yeah I know.

The two games last year against the Pies confirmed that we can’t go the distance with Collingwood’s manic and fast paced football.

[leave it to deever 17,451]

So much for the tiges causing an upset.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,358]

Port are now becoming trust worthy.

In prior years this would be the sort of game they’d drop on the road as favourites.

Anyone see then as a flag chance?

We play Alice, we won’t get the Darwin game. 

why not... the Darwin game is an away game and will be rotated through the smaller Melbourne clubs of which we are one

We lost to Sydney twice last year which many said “confirmed” we couldn’t go with them. 

I hope the club hasn’t written our chances off like you have.

This question shouldn’t need to be asked. 

They are 100% a flag chance. Right now they have claims to being the best side in the comp. They have already shown that, no matter what happens today.

Because both games are played around the same time of year, and we can’t and won’t be made to travel to the NT twice in as many weeks. It just won’t happen.

No.

Expected a lot more from The Tiger today. Hardwick would be gutted "watching from home" by the lack of response so far.

How good is umpiring…. Said no one ever

[BDA 22,277]

terrible decision to give the free for that head high. luckily Port missed but jeez the umpiring is so poor across the comp

[loges 6,767]

tiges get within 2 points then a couple of very dubious frees to port

[BDA 22,277]

does that goal umpire ever back himself to make the call. another pointless review

Footy is becoming unwatchable. Need to go back to three Umps with the fourth watching from the stand. The AFL need to do something about it but wont.

How frustrating is it to see port miss these goals. Couldn't happen last week could it. No of course they take there opportunities against us

They missed heaps in the first half. It was the only reason we were still in the contest at half time.

I assume there’s no rule for push in the back anymore. 

[loges 6,767]

Why have umpires stopped paying pushes in the back in marking contests?

[YearOfTheDees 3,263]

Noticed that there was an interchange countdown on the score board yesterday. Is that standard for all games or only started after the North stuff up.

Bit of a shame with Port but what can you do.
