AFL Finals - week #1

So why was this game played tonight and Port who finished 5th have to play tomorrow?

Because the winner of Port/Richmond play next Saturday night. North play Geelong Friday night so all sides get a 6 day break

Swans prelim will be the Friday the 19th at either at scg or ANZ

*cue Daisy's tears

Thats fair enough, you did finish top so you should get the advantage.

You ducking **** Thomas, hope you get it ripped off one day

Always has been always will be. His a joke.

That's why they never structure the final round of the year. Port played in Perth so that side will always get a least a 7 day break.

Glad to see our blokes show some character and come from nearly 6 goals down in the 3rd qtr. We had plenty of the ball up until then but chose dumb options & played into Essendon's hands too many times. The turning point was when we started winning the clearances and going through the middle - when North do this they look unstoppable.
Dal Santo was one of few who stood out in the first half when things looked grim, he is clearly worth the price we paid (proving my pre season thoughts wrong).
Cunnington, Gibson & Greenwood started getting hold of the ball, Brown was mighty in the 3rd qtr and our backline created run after run resulting in plenty of forward entries.
The Greenwood report was farcical, plain wrong & will be thrown out - HE should've received the free - I look forward to the explanation for that stuff up.
Thomas whilst quiet still kicked 3 (and should have had 3 BLATANT frees paid in the first half which were ignored - which will no doubt please the knockers).
Petrie had been quiet but stood up when it counted with couple of clutch goals when the game needed someone to win it.
But for mine, Daniel Wells was best on ground. He was every where. His disposal is first class & he chooses the right option time after time. His absence for most of the season can't be underestimated.

So the Cats next week, a team who've beaten us twice this year easily. Another test on the big stage. Boomer back will help.

OMG the ghost of Foss just walked onto the oval....

[whufc]

Lol Cotchin kicks into the breeze in the first quarter.

Did he not lot learn anything from Roger Girdham lol

[saintal]

Richmond asleep.

[Q.]

Richmond are a rabble

[RB]

FFS Richmond are doing everything a team can possibly do wrong.

[bennymacca]

8thmond is more entertaining than 9thmond

[Brodlach]

Richmond refuse to chase

Martin, Delideo and Houli all just gave up

[Jim05]

My weekend is suddenly getting better.

[Wedgie]

Wow, simply Wow, Power.
Other observations: Best quarter of umpiring in the AFL I've seen for a long long time, couldn't pick one mistake either way, and why the hell would Richmond kick against the breeze????

Who won the toss again ...

Amazing start by the Power. "Never tear us apart" is cringeworthy though. You'll never walk alone it ain't.

Agreed, but the Crows still pip them with the 19th man crap.

Rather ironic they were the most critical of Centrals and their soccer chants

What do they do? Our "Panther" noise can FRO as well. Who needs that crap?
